Joanna Lumley to explore the ‘Hidden Caribbean’ for ITV

The Absolutely Fabulous star heads to the Caribbean in her latest travelogue for the broadcaster.

Joanna Lumley’s Hidden Caribbean: Havana to Haiti will see the actress travel across two of the most enigmatic countries in the Caribbean – Cuba and Haiti – to explore, uncover and share the hidden gems that these countries have to offer.

Both countries are undoubtedly poor in monetary terms, but are abundantly rich in other ways with bustling city scenes, unspoiled coastlines, pristine beaches, majestic mountains and lush forests.

Joanna will kick off her adventure in the back of a classic car in Havana, outlining her 1500-mile Caribbean adventure.

“I’m so thrilled to have had the opportunity to go on this adventure and show people a side to these Caribbean countries that they have never seen before.” – Joanna Lumley

Jo Clinton-Davis, ITV’s factual controller, cited Lumley’s enthusiasm as a selling point of the travelogues she fronts, noting that it “adds a layer of interest and excitement for viewers.”

The Burning Bright production will air in two hour-long slots on ITV.
