Katie Piper's Weekend Escape is set to become your perfect weekend morning show as the much-loved presenter and a celebrity guest welcomes us to an exclusive retreat in the British countryside for an hour of pampering.

The new show, fronted by Loose Women star, author and activist, Katie Piper, will introduce viewers to new pamper treatments and activities centered around health and well-being, inspiring you for a weekend of self-care.

The show will also explore new foods and drinks with the help of an onsite nutritionist and health food expert.

In addition to the insider tips and tricks, each episode will also see Katie and her team treat someone who has been nominated by a member of the public who deserves a special pampering.

Host Katie Piper said: “Weekend Escape is a fantastic new format that combines so much of what I love - health, well-being and chatting to interesting people, exploring everything from nutrition to celebrity interviews all in the heart of the British countryside.”
