Season 8

Episodes

Denise van Outen and Kelly Brook
Essex girl Denise van Outen faces off with Kent's own Kelly Brook. Kelly may have home advantage on their trip through the Garden of England, but with Denise's haggling skills this competition is a hard one to call.
Their smitten guides on the trip are auctioneers Charles Hanson and Tim Medhurst, who have definitely put in a little extra effort. They finish at auction in Battle, but first keen golfer Denise has a chance to show off her skills as she learns the surprising history of mini-golf in Margate. Green-fingered Kelly visits the maze at Leeds Castle to find out how bewildering bushes became a staple of English formal gardens.
With two women who definitely know what they like - and what they don't - this is sure to be a very tight contest.
