‘More bang for your buck'

Phillip Schofield on the return of his festive shopping guide

- REBECCA MAHONEY

After an extraordinarily challenging year, spending much-needed time with loved ones will no doubt be at the top of most people’s Christmas list.

But gifts might still need buying and fridges will need filling, so we will be tuning into Phillip Schofield’s annual, merry money-saving guide to seasonal shopping, How to Spend It Well at Christmas, which returns for a new three-part series this week.

With help from a team of experts, members of the public, and celebrity guests, Phillip will be sampling, testing, and reviewing all the latest food, drink, toys, gadgets, and more.

Look out for presenter and mum-of-two Angellica Bell trying out new interactive toys with a class of seven-year-olds, while science expert Dallas Campbell casts his beady eye over a selection of STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) toys.
