Loose Women panelist Sophie Morgan is back with a new season of her show Living Wild: How to Change Your Life as we look at all you need to know about the upcoming series.
The award-winning disability advocate, TV presenter and social entrepreneur will continue on her epic bike road trip meeting people who have made radical changes in their lives in order to live their wildest dreams.
The series initially aired as a two-parter in August last year and saw Sophie immerse herself in the lives of various people -from a shepherdess raising rare sheep to a Muslim London family who relocate to a farm in remote Wales - who are all united by a desire to build new lives around the things they love.
As we look at what you can expect from the new series...
Living Wild: How to Change Your Life release date
Living Wild: How to Change Your Life is being released on 11th February 2023 on Channel 4. The four-part series sees Sophie travelling to the furthest corners of the UK and the continent: from Scandinavia to the Scilly Isles, the Scottish Islands to the Norfolk coast, the most remote point of Cumbria to the southernmost island of Ireland.
As she explores snow-covered arctic forests or surfs on the beachfront of North Devon, Sophie will offer up an unfiltered insight into the unexpected realities, both good and bad, of pursuing a life filled with adventure, purpose and passion in some of the most remote and breathtakingly beautiful parts of the U.K. and beyond.
Speaking about her new series, Sophie said, "I’m so excited to be heading back out on the road again for another adventure, to meet more incredible people and visit more extraordinary places. In this second series, I’ll be diving even deeper into the lives of people who haven’t let anything stand in the way of a better life and plan to find out exactly how we can all find inspiration for any changes we wish to make to our own lives. We only have one life and this series is all about learning how best to live it!"
Episode one will see Sophie meeting people building new lives around the things they love, beginning with a trip to Finnish Lapland to meet Bex and Steve, a couple who gave up their stressful jobs in the UK to start a new life in the wilderness of the Arctic Circle. In Northern Ireland, she meets Michael and Alex, a young couple who quit their jobs and home in Belfast for a more sustainable way of life in the lush County Down countryside, and meets Amira, a former beauty therapist from Blackburn, who made the decision to change her life, and that of many other Muslim women, by setting up an adventure group in the beautiful surroundings of the Lake District.
