Thank goodness Have I Got News For You’s Paul Merton has a well-developed sense of humour. He needed it to cope with his first holiday on the open road for a new TV series, Motorhoming With Merton And Webster.
The six-part Channel 5 series sees Paul, 64, and his comedian wife Suki Webster, 56, hit the road for a motorhome staycation. Given that two million Brits are due to enjoy a caravan or motorhome holiday this year it’s timely, but on the very first night they had to call for help after getting stuck in the bathroom.
‘We were getting ready for bed and I realised the lights were still on in the bathroom,’ recalls Suki.

Comic and wife Suki Webster to tour the UK for Channel 5
Paul Merton and his wife Suki Webster are to travel the UK in a motor home for a new Channel 5 series.
Six hour-long episodes of the programme – provisionally if unoriginally titled Motorhoming With Merton & Webster – have been commissioned.
The news comes after industry bodies reported up to 70 per cent increase in motorhome and campervan registrations last summer.
As well as touring the UK later this year, the couple will be reviewing the latest models and gadgets.
They will also meet motorhome fans who will share their secrets such as how to make your caravan warmer, which loo is the comfiest, how to choose the best spot in a caravan park… and how to park it.
