A CLOTHES shop in Wanstead is set to play a staring role in a BBC TV programme next week.

Fashion boutique Santa Fe, in Wanstead High Street, will appear on BBC3's Make My Body Younger, in which contestants get advice and help on their health and style.

Shop worker Darryl Finer said he enjoyed the experience, but hoped the programme would present them in a positive light.

He said: "It's great exposure.

"It's just what we need because at the moment with the credit crunch things because while generally things are fine it can be very up and down.

"Hopefully the programme will be exactly the way we envisage it to be but you never really known with things like this."

He added: "The filming was about six weeks ago. A film crew came in and filmed this guy. He got some fashion advice about what to wear, and they filmed a before and after bit as well."

Owner Gary Irwin added: "It's a great opportunity for us to show people how we operate, plus it's also a fantastic advertisement for the local area, not to mention Wanstead High Street."

The programme will be broadcast this coming Tuesday (June 2) on BBC3 at 8pm.
