Bob Mortimer said,

Im so excited to be involved in Storage Hunters again as Ive been a big fan of the show for a long time. I had a lot of fun filming the Christmas special - I caused a bit of a frenzy by hiking up the prices. I can now reveal that this time round I will have a bidding partner alongside me to help wind up the other celebs and bag ourselves some bargains - all in the name of charity of course.

Vic Reeves stated,

Bob said it was really good fun and that I should do it if I got the chance - so Im in! I think well do well. Bobs a very good strategist.
