The Bondville Model Village Channel 5 feature aired this evening — and what an incredible moment it was! As part of Susan Calman’s Grand Day Out: By the Sea, Bondville welcomed Susan and pop legend Sinitta to our miniature world in Bridlington, East Yorkshire.
As part of the episode, Susan Calman was joined by pop icon Sinitta for a stop at Bondville — and it was a truly memorable experience for everyone involved.
Bondville Model Village on Channel 5 Tonight
On social media, Susan Calman shared her excitement about the visit:
“In one of my favourite ever encounters I took pop star Sinitta to a model village. She was charming, and wonderful and fabulous. That’s pop star Sinitta, wandering round a model village, with me in Bridlington. My job is quite often rather mind blowing.”
For the Bondville team, seeing their tiny world explored on national TV — by two much-loved public figures — was a proud and surreal moment.
Owner Rachel Hill commented:
“This goes down as one of my highlights at Bondville. Seeing the lovely Susan Calman and the iconic Sinitta wandering around our model village was just awesome.”
A Day to Remember in Yorkshire
The visit was filled with smiles and curiosity. Susan and Sinitta explored the model streets, admired the detail, and embraced the playful charm of Bondville.
Filming took place in the sunshine, with Bondville looking its best for a national audience. As the only model village in Yorkshire, being featured in a show dedicated to joyful seaside adventures felt like a perfect match.
