“I’m thrilled to be opening this year’s TheYachtMarket.com Southampton Boat Show,” said Ms Mackintosh. “I’m really looking forward to spending some time at the event, soaking up the atmosphere and exploring some of the beautiful boats that shall be on display.”

Murray Ellis, chief officer of organisers Boat Shows at British Marine, added: “We’re delighted to welcome Millie Mackintosh to the Show this year.

“Attracting visitors from the UK and overseas from those new to boating to our stalwart experts, this year’s show offers a fantastic day out for friends and family.”

Out on the water, there will be the opportunity for visitors to take part in passenger boat trips, bell-boating and Stand Up Paddleboarding, dinghy sailing and kayak experiences, all included within their show ticket.

Feature boats including the tall ship Kaskelot are also set to be highlights for this year.
