Katherine Ryan will explore travelling on a budget as part of a new Channel 4 series

The 40-year-old comedienne has teamed up with fellow TV star Joe Wilkinson for a new travel show on Channel 4 titled 'Joe and Katherine’s Bargain Holidays' which will see the duo visit various locations in the UK on a shoestring.

She said: “I agreed to become Joe’s travel buddy and bargain student as I’m ashamed of my luxury taste and need to learn how to budget – but he takes the p***.

“I hate being hot, and travel delays, so was livid when Joe made us fly on a budget airline which was 12 hours late on the sweltering Tarmac.

“A passenger soiled himself and everyone rushed to the front of the plane to get away from the smell.”

The former 'Masked Singer' contestant will also visit countries such as Bulgaria and Latvia with Joe as part of the series and the first episode - which will air on April 25 - will see the pair camping in a church before taking part in a paddleboard yoga class.

The news comes just days after it was revealed that Katherine will join 'The Weakest Link' host Romesh Ranganathan to star in new Sky Original comedy drama 'Romantic Getaway'.

The pair will team up for the modern six-part Bonnie and Clyde story, which will see couple Alison (Katherine) and Deacon (Romesh) resort to stealing because they are desperate to have a child but are unable to afford any more rounds of IVF.

'Romantic Getaway' begins directly after Deacon and Alison have defrauded their dodgy boss, Alfie (Johnny Vegas) of £500,000.

However, their illegal antics later draw them into the criminal underworld of Reading.

Romesh has written and created the series alongside Benjamin Green, with Sarah Morgan and Elaine Gracie providing additional writing.
