RACE ACE METCALFE TO APPEAR ON CHANNEL 5’s ‘GADGET SHOW’

Motor racing star Jeremy Metcalfe is set to return to national television screens this coming Monday, 6th October, when he appears on the opening episode of the new series of the Gadget Show on Five.

Fleet-based Jeremy is, of course, no stranger to mainstream TV having spent a month in the Big Brother house last January as part of the inaugural Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack show on Channel 4 and E4.

When approached by Gadget Show production team North One TV to take part in the first show of the 10th series of the popular programme, the 20-year-old British Racing Drivers’ Club (BRDC) Rising Star jumped at the opportunity.

While wanting to explain exactly what he gets up to on the show, Jeremy has been sworn to secrecy so you’ll have to tune-in to Five on Monday evening at 20.00 to see just what happens – it promises to be hugely entertaining!

Commenting on his Gadget Show appearance, Jeremy said: “Taking part in the filming of the first episode of the new series of the Gadget Show was good fun. When the guys at North One TV got in touch I didn’t hesitate to get involved. It was pretty mad but a good way to spend an afternoon!”

Jeremy has, of course, been competing in the Avon Tyres British GT Championship this year where he became a race winner and title contender during his maiden season of sportscar competition.

Prior to this, the Hampshire sensation enjoyed a successful three-year run in Formula Renault UK – a category won in the past by current Formula One World Champion Kimi Raikkonen and fellow Grand Prix driver Lewis Hamilton – having graduated to car racing in 2005. Jeremy was also named a McLaren Autosport BRDC Award finalist in 2006.

During his kart racing career, Jeremy won some of the world’s most prestigious titles including the Parma Industrials Formula A Championship in 2003 and the MSA British Cadet Karting Championship in 2000.

Don’t forget, the first episode of the brand new series of the Gadget Show will be screened on Channel 5 at 20.00 this coming Monday, 6th October.
