You’ve heard of Location, Location, Location – but what about Fergus, Fergus, Fergus?

Maidstone’s larger than life landlord claims he has been approached by TV producers with the view to filming a series of property documentaries using him as the star expert.

Fergus Wilson, 65, announced last month he was to sell his empire, which includes more than 1,000 properties in Maidstone and Ashford, and retire.

He said he was keen to branch out into digital children’s novels, which would be sold in China to help youngsters to learn English.

But now he could be preparing a future on the box, after he was reportedly approached by the makers of popular Channel 4 show Location, Location, Location.

If the show goes ahead, Mr Wilson would take a similar role to that of Phil Spencer’s – but only if he gets a similar salary.

Mr Wilson said: “The premise would be going around finding assorted rental properties, warts and all, and giving advice to potential landlords.

“I would be showing them what houses we would go for.

“We are not necessarily interested in the rent but in the appreciation.

“I have met with the producers but I haven’t made any decisions yet.

“I hear the chap on Location, Location, Location earns £400,000, so it would depend what are they are going to pay me.”

Mr Wilson claims to have already turned a number of other companies down, but is still in talks with two – though he remained tight-lipped on the details.

Despite Kent’s Police and Crime Commissioner Ann Barnes still feeling the effects of her car-crash TV debut, the tycoon said he was not worried that the planned show would portray him in a negative light.

He added: “Ann Barnes dug her own grave when she started talking about onions – I don’t think it was a case of bad editing.”

An official from the production company behind the popular Channel 4 show was unable to confirm plans for the Fergus programme, but did not rule it out.
