OHMYGOSSIP — Anneka Rice rents out her ‘Challenge Anneka’ jumpsuits for hen parties.
The former ‘Treasure Hunt’ star revealed people hire out her iconic costumes from the BBC One series, while she maintains a “shrine” to the huge collection she still has in her personal archive.
Speaking at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, she told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I’ve got, literally, a shrine to the jumpsuits. I’ve got about 50 of them. I guess. I lend them out to people for hen nights.”
The 64-year-old broadcaster loves to get updates from the people using them via social media and she’s delighted they have “a new life”.
She said: “People run around Brighton in my jumpsuits. They just get in touch by Instagram or Twitter.
“And I go, ‘Yeah, whatever, have it, wash it afterwards, thank you.’
“They do treasure hunts, they do challenges in the Peak District. It’s an industry. They’ve got a new life.”
Anneka – who has sons Tom, 26, with Thomas, 30, with her ex Nick Allott and Josh, 29 with Tom Gutteridge – recently commented on Channel 5’s decision to “reschedule” the reboot of the show – which originally ran between 1989 to 1995 – after only two episodes aired.
She previously said: “They wanted it exactly as it was.
“Apart from satnav, and our production team being able to access people online, rather than through Yellow Pages, viewers will find it similar. People still use paintbrushes and you still have to wait for plaster to dry.”
In April, the network admitted to yanking the show because the weekend slot was “highly competitive”.
They said: “The first episode of ‘Challenge Anneka’ was enjoyed by 1.25 million viewers, but Saturday evenings are always highly competitive, especially at this time of year.
“The public and critical reaction to ‘Challenge Anneka’’s return has been amazing and we have decided to preserve the remaining two shows and reschedule them soon.”
Channel 5 later announced their plans to air another installment earlier this year to mark Dementia Awareness Week in May.
A spokesperson said: “Fans have been asking us when it will be back, so we are delighted to announce that the next episode will be shown during Dementia Awareness week (w/c 15 May), confirming the specific day and time in the coming weeks.”
