Being on TV is a scary prospect

The head of a Staffordshire hotel starring in its own TV show has described it as an amazing opportunity that came completely out of the blue.

The Moat House, in Acton Trussell, which is just off the M6, is the focus of a new Channel 5 series, The Motorway Hotel.

Emily Lewis, the boss at the hotel, said the team were initially apprehensive about agreeing to be filmed as they went about their daily work.

“But things like this don’t come about everyday for small businesses like us,” she said.
