Congleton's 'Binfluencer' is set to appear on TV.

Andy Bailey, the man behind Bins of Congleton, will star in a new show coming to Comedy Central UK later this year.

Iain Stirling's Roast the Internet will delve into 'the very worst things on the internet'

Andy said: "When I started this account I could never have imagined that it would bring so many great adventures!

"Iain really liked the Bins of Congleton page and plans to visit next time he's close by.

"Hopefully the national TV exposure will result in more people discovering our town."

Iain' Stirling's Roast the Internet was announced earlier this year, with the show produced by MTV Entertainment Studios.

Every episode will see Iain roast social clips, posts and trends with three famous faces joining him each week.

He said: "I'm so excited to be involved in this project which allows me to collaborate with some of my favourite people in TV (and the internet) and lets me doom-scroll TikTok while calling it work!"

Luke Hales from MTV Entertainment Studios UK added "The internet is a chaotic, ridiculous place, and who better to make sense of it all for us than Iain Stirling?

"With his unique comedy voice at the heart of the show and a brilliant lineup of guests, this series is packed with laughs – a real treat for our audiences on Comedy Central UK."

Andy visited the Television Centre in London for filming at the start of May.

On set he got the chance to meet comedians Tom Allen and Desiree Burch as well as TV personality Vicky Pattison.

Iain Stirling's Roast the Internet, made up of eight 60-minute episodes, will air on Comedy Central UK later this year.
