Bob Mortimer is to appear in a special Celebrity edition of Dave's series Storage Hunters to be broadcast at Christmas. 

The episode of Storage Hunters was filmed before Mortimer's recent triple heart bypass surgery. It is fronted by regular presenter Sean Kelly will also feature Ross Noble, Jenny Eclair, Kimberly Wyatt, Jimi Mistry, Shaun Ryder, Bez, Lizzie Roper, Jimmy Bullard and Carl Froch. 

It has also been revealed in an interview with Matt Berry in the Evening Standard that Mortimer will play himself in an episode of the forthcoming series of Toast of London, which returns to C4 on November 18. This was also filmed before his recent heart operation.

Executive producer of Storage Hunters John Quinn said: “All of the celebrities involved are big fans of the series and it really shows – it didn’t take long for the competitive edge to take over. So much so, one of the highlights from the shoot was an impromptu boxing bout between Ross Noble and Carl Froch. Funny, but ill-advised – particularly for Ross...”

Dave has also announced that it will also be bringing back Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled for a fourth series in 2016. There is a Christmas special this year on December 29.
