Talented fashion stylish Mark Heyes, of ITV's Lorraine fame, is back for another year of hosting Bristol Fashion Week at The Mall, Cribbs Causeway.

This time however, he has the original Essex girl Denise Van Outen alongside him, and he could not be more excited.

We caught up with Mark ahead of his big gig, which begins on September 30 and runs until October 4, to see what he had to say.

"This year's fashion week is going to amazing," said Mark.

"We've got 18 shows which are all an hour long with a nice mixture of models and dancing and fantastic trends.

"It's going to be a great event- The Mall is the only shopping centre across the UK that does something of this kind and Bristol fashion Week is all about making style fun.

"We have humour in the shows and to be able to work with Denise is going to be brilliant.

"I can't wait to meet her."

The trends on this year's catwalk are going to be all about the 70s, Mark explained.

"If you don't like the era, you're in trouble," he continued.

"People are a bit scared of the flare but this season tjere's quite a bit of drama involved with metallic fabrics and real leather and suade as well as faux.

"We've got new choreography and it's all based on a cinema theme with a huge vibe of entertainment.

"My favourite trend is the city chic look that is all about New york city in 1975 with dramatic snakeskin.

"The good thing about our fashion week is that we always change it up every year and if something sells out, we take it off the catwalk."

Fashion show aside, Mark enjoys his time in this area of the world, so much so that he is considering buying a property.

"I just love Bristol and Somerset- it's a fabulous area of the world.

"I've even got my own little group of mates down here now because I've been hosting fashion week for the last five to six years.

"I'd seriously look at buying somewhere here- I've fallen in love with the place.

"I can't wait to be back and I love my job so much- my next day off isn't until October 18."
