A city paddleboarding firm will feature on the first episode of an upcoming Channel 4 comedy travel show. 

As part of their new series Joe And Katherine's Bargain Holidays, comedians
Katherine Ryan and Joe Wilkinson visited Norfolk Paddle Boards for a day of adventure on the River Wensum.

Located at the Red Lion Bishopgate pub, Norfolk Paddle Boards offers paddleboard hire, lessons, refresher sessions and community paddles.

Katherine struggled to get to grips with the board and fell into the water, whereas Joe seemed totally comfortable, waving and chatting to families on the riverbank.

Lee Tayler, founder of Norfolk Paddle Boards, said: "We were thrilled to have Katherine and Joe join us for a day of paddleboarding here in Norfolk. 

"Our aim has always been to share the joy of paddleboarding with others and to showcase the natural beauty of our region.

way."

Bargain Holidays will see thrifty Joe prove to luxury-loving Katherine that holidays don't always have to cost a fortune. 

Katherine appeared on The One Show recently to promote the show and claimed she "can't say enough about Norfolk".

The show is scheduled to air on Channel 4 at 10pm on April 25.
