Wild At Heart is back

13th May 2009

Love is in the air at Leopard’s Den as Stephen Tompkinson, Dawn Steele and Hayley Mills return to South Africa for the fifth series of Wild At Heart.
 
The popular ITV series, which launched in January 2006 and averaged nearly 8m viewers during series four earlier this year, has been recommissioned for a further ten episodes.
 
Back among the lions, giraffes and elephants, love is continuing to blossom for Danny Trevanion (Tompkinson) and fellow vet Alice Collins (Steele – Sea of Souls, Monarch of the Glen) - but will Danny have the courage to commit to her? Throughout the series, the pair will face many challenges, not least the pressure of working together, and Alice must make some difficult decisions about her future at Leopard’s Den.
 
After a turbulent courtship, everyone’s favourite gruff Afrikaner Anders Du Plessis (Deon Stewardson) is set to marry his beloved Caroline (Hayley Mills). Wedding plans are finalised but could someone from Caroline’s past threaten their happiness?
 
Alice’s estranged brother Rowan (Cal Macaninch – Holby Blue, Sorted) has installed himself at Mara, making the rivalry between the two reserves more intense than ever. Alice is desperate to repair the relationship with her brother, but how far can Rowan be trusted? Is his attraction to business partner Vanessa (Mary-Anne Barlow) genuine or does he simply want to get his hands on Mara?
 
With rampaging rhinos, baby giraffes and lovelorn elephants all providing unique challenges for the Leopard’s Den family, this series of Wild At Heart promises to be the most exciting yet.
 
Wild At Heart will be filmed in South Africa from July onwards. It is produced by Nick Goding and the series producer is Serena Bowman.The creator is Ashley Pharoah and the executive producers are Charlie Pattinson, George Faber and Ashley Pharoah, with Stephen Tompkinson as co-executive producer.
