The Big Flower Fight - the new Netflix show giving floristry the Bake-Off treatment

A new floristry show is coming to Netflix, giving the art of flower sculpture the Great British Bake-Off treatment.

Vic Reeves and fellow comic and actress Natasia Demetriou will front the series, which lands on the streaming platform next month.

The eight-part series will see teams compete to create huge floral installations, with pep talks and moral support from Reeves and Demetriou.

Reeves, 61, said of filming the series: “I had the most wonderful summer watching immense floral sculptures emerge from nothing.”

What We Do In The Shadows star Demetriou added: “Working with Vic Reeves in a beautiful English field surrounded by loads of chicken wire – it’s every person’s dream job.”

The contestants' creations are judged by celebrity florist Kristen Griffith-VanderYacht, who wants to help “flowers finally get the respect they deserve”.

He said: “This isn’t your basic bunch of blooms. This is the real deal. So buckle up and get your shovel ready for some farm fresh floral fantasy realness!”

It sounds like just the kind of calming comfort viewing we're all craving right now.

The Big Flower Fight will be available on Netflix from May 18.
