Blackpool entrepreneurs star in crowd funding reality show

Two well-known faces within Blackpool’s entertainment scene are set to light up national TV viewing, as they become would-be investors in fledgling businesses seeking the funds to launch their ideas into the world of enterprise.

Their involvement follows them both being involved in a trailer for the show, made by Avalon-owned producers, Liberty Bell, last year.

Each can invest between £100 and £20,000 and, in return, they receive a share in the business, or another reward.

Martin said: “We hope viewers will find Money Pit compelling viewing, as we really enjoyed being involved and hope we brought some great comedy moments to the show. We’re not giving anything away, but we think viewers will find a fair degree of irony in one of the businesses that really won Leye over. It will be both interesting, though a little hard, to watch episodes back, but the concept of the show is great and it’s very relevant to the way funding for businesses is moving.”
