The sales outfit already shops Manchester-based Salamanda Media’s Abbey Clancy’s Celebrity Homes, the ITVBe commission that began airing last year.

Salamanda Media, which received investment from Channel 4 (C4)’s Indie Growth Fund in 2021, is also behind C4 daytime format Fame In the Family, Return to Uist for the BBC and forthcoming three-part observational documentary series New Model Agency.

Salamanda Media was founded by Evans and De Freitas during the pandemic after the pair built up more than 30 years’ experience in the industry between them, having developed shows for the BBC, ITV and C4.

Co-founders and creative directors Evans and De Freitas said in a joint statement: “We set up Salamanda Media to create talent-led, factual entertainment shows and formats that are packed with heart and humour.

“We’re delighted to be partnering with the phenomenal team at All3Media to help us further that ambition. Their incredible reputation and ability to take our ideas out onto the world stage is truly exciting and we hope for a long and fruitful relationship.”
