What has Sandi said about Extraordinary Escapes?

Speaking of the travel show, the TV presenter said: "When it was suggested that I travel around the UK accompanied by these four brilliant women, I had to double check this was work.

“This year has been a journey of exploration for many of us, and it was a joy to find so many beautiful, quirky and remote bolt-holes around almost every corner.

She added: “And quite honestly, as much as I adore my family, it’s been wonderful just to leave the house.”
