Orchard Studios for ITV1 and ITVX

Execs: Nat Lippiett and Dan Grabiner

Editor: Ian David Smith

Ian ‘Smurf’ Smith makes a foray into reality TV with this new ITV 3-parter fly-on-the-wall series following the daily lives of Rebekah and Jamie Vardy. The series documents their new life in Italy after Jamie signed a one-year deal with the Italian club Cremonese.

Ian first came to the project to cut the sizzle and help pitch it to ITV, however he made such a good impression and got on so well with the team that they brought him back to be offline editor on the entire series. Being able to set the style of a programme is a fulfilling experience and Ian reflected that squeezing a season’s worth of footage and story into 3 episodes was challenging. Nevertheless, it was incredibly rewarding to be able to present a cohesive story at the end of months of hard work.

All three episodes will be airing consecutively on 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th June on ITV1 at 9pm.
