A Coventry woman has said she is 'incredibly proud' to be starring in new ITV series Dress the Nation. Sandeep is among the budding designers looking to impress in the hope of securing a coveted role at M&S.

Hosted by AJ Odudu and Vernon Kay, the six-part series will follow M&S' search for new in-house design talent, with the prize said to be 'life-changing.' Contestants will be set a series of tasks that will assess their design, problem-solving, and collaboration skills in what will be the 'biggest job interview of their lives.'

Judges will task ten hopefuls with gathering insights, identifying key trends, and designing and developing clothing pieces, ITV said. Spice Girl Mel B, This Morning star Cat Deeley, Vogue Williams, and Ian Wright will be appearing as part of the judging panel for the hugely anticipated series which begins next Tuesday (September 17).

Businessowner Sandeep will be starring as one of the ten contestants, with the 33-year-old saying she decided to sign up as she is in her 'glow-up era.' She purchased her first sewing machine because she could never find outfits that she wanted to buy, and after making her own, she 'fell in love with it.'

A few years ago, Sandeep found a fabric she 'loved' and decided to buy it in bulk, which she said 'sold well.' She then decided to launch her own business, Sister Mintaka, which is based in Coventry.

She said: “Getting onto the show is a huge achievement, and I am so incredibly proud of myself. It is truly the best thing I have ever done!”
