The Wedding Proposal Channel 4 Sunday 12th February at 9pm

I don't think I mentioned in any of my previous posts that we were filmed by Channel 4 on our 1st day in Val d'Isere last month. Not quite what we'd expected when we booked the holiday!!

Our chalet apartment hosts were the reason for this. See attached link:-

In case you're interested their apartment details here:-

Channel 4 were there for the week and we obliged for half an hour on the 1st day on the nursery slopes doing some snow plough turns as newbie skiers under the careful guidance of Steve, our instructor. Steve must be good because we were heading down a bumpy red run an hour or so later!! )

God knows if our little bit of coaching will make it to the final edit but if you see a couple of lidded 40 somethings ploughing down the nursery slopes at 4mph that's us! I'll get a batch of signed photos ready and no doubt Hollywood will be on the phone on Monday.

Here's hoping there's some good footage of the resort to accompany the pre-nuptials.

I'll watch it to see Val D (favourite resort in the world) and see if I can spot you

Oh no, wait... you mean sometimes TV shows "amend" the truth for dramatic effect???

Absolutely not....we're just incredibly fast learners and clearly oozing with natural talent. I'll be donning lycra and hitting 70mph on the Hahnenkamm before too long.

Steve actually writes a (frankly excellent) daily report from Val D'Isere over on Snowheads - link (sorry - rival forum.... .)

I have been following his report every day for the last couple of months, as I am going to Val D'Isere later this month - and he talks about the Channel 4 show, and there are some fab pics of the proposal itself as well.

He often talks about his customers, you'd better check what he said about you! (He's always very nice about them)

I will certainly be tuning in, to see Steve, Val D'Isere, and now you too!

Thankfully, no statements on his blog stating "worst guests ever" or anything like that! He did mention the bottle of champagne we bought for them at the end of week. Great hosts and I think we'll be back there before too long.

Just seen it advertised. This place will be dead Sunday night!

don't forget the tv event of the year tonight on channel 4!!
