Syd to make TV comeback

Syd Little is to make his TV comeback, four years after his comedy partnership with Eddie Large ended.

The 62-year-old straightman is returning to screens in a celebrity reality show called Trust Me I'm a Holiday Rep for Five.

He  will be one of six contestants who become holiday reps in Cyprus for ten days, undertaking everything from meeting holidaymakers at the airport, to arranging excursions and bar crawls.

The other contestants on the show are Jodie Marsh, Coronation Street actor Scott Wright, writer Nina Myskow, model Jasmine Leonard, New Kids on the Block singer Jordan Knight.

Two of the celebrities formed a romantic attachment, and at least one does not last the series, according to reports in MediaGuardian today.

Trust Me I'm A Holiday Rep, which airs in September, will be presented by Nancy Sorrell and Toby Anstis.

Large retired from comedy four years ago after having a heart bypass.
