JOANNA LUMLEY AND JULIA BRADBURY TO FRONT NEW ITV TRAVELOGUES

Joanna Lumley and Julia Bradbury are to front new ITV travelogues, with Lumley currently filming in Argentina, according to The Sun newspaper.

A source told tabloid: "Travellers couldn’t believe it when they spotted her in the capital city Buenos Aires, particularly as she looked rather like her Ab Fab alter ego, Patsy Stone. She was in a bar surrounded by various types of booze while happily puffing away on cigarettes..."

Meanwhile, Julia Bradbury is to embark on a journey around Antarctica, South Georgia and the Falkland Islands for a 3x60' series from Captive Minds. Bradbury will travel on board HX Expeditions' MS Fram ship.

The series, titled Julia Bradbury’s Wonders of the Frozen South, will see the presenter take in vast landscapes, extraordinary wildlife and unique communities, with Bradbury commenting: "Sailing to the Frozen South is like entering another world – one that’s beautiful, humbling and ever so powerful."

More details will be announced in due course.
