Search for a TV Star

Could this be you?

Have you ever been told you should be on TV? Do people stop and listen when you start talking? Can you sell… well, anything?

Ideal World is on the hunt for bold personalities, natural talkers, and confident sellers to become the next generation of TV shopping presenters.

You don’t need TV experience. You don’t need a sales background. You do need presence, personality, and the gift of the gab.

If you can engage an audience, tell a story, and make people excited about a product — we want to see you.

What we’re looking for

We’re open-minded about background and experience. Our best presenters come from all walks of life. You might be:

A sales professional
A performer or actor
A retail expert
A content creator or influencer
Or someone who’s just always been told: “You’d be great on TV.”

If you’ve got confidence, warmth, and a natural flair for selling — you’re exactly who we’re looking for.

How to enter

Entering couldn’t be easier:

Film a 60-second audition video
Sell any item from your home — it can be anything at all
Be yourself. Have fun. Show us your personality
Email your video to applynow@idealworld.tv

That’s it.

If we like what we see, you may be invited to the next stage of the process.

What’s in it for you?

Successful candidates may be offered a freelance TV presenting opportunity with Ideal World.

Freelance TV presenting contract
No minimum shift commitment
Flexible opportunities
On-air experience with an established TV shopping brand

Terms to be agreed.

Ready to shine?

This is your chance to step into the studio, get in front of the cameras, and show the UK what you can do.

Lights on. Cameras ready.

This could be you.
