TV PRODUCERS are on the hunt for couples from Colchester to take part in a new series of Don't Tell The Bride.

The show follows a groom who is given three weeks to plan an entire wedding from scratch, including a venue, cake and wedding dress.

The grooms are given a budget of £14,000 to plan the wedding as a surprise for his bride.

Successful couples will be wed in 2016 and will appear on the Sky One programme, which has moved over from BBC Three.

Programme executive, Sarah May, said: "At a time when saving for a wedding is a distant dream for many, Don’t Tell the Bride offers couples the chance to have their wedding this year, without the stress of saving for it.

"It’s a unique and memorable way for couples to tie the knot in 2016."
