Retired British boxer Chris Eubank has teamed up with Hostelworld to star in a short promotional film.

The idea comes 18 years after an episode of Alan Partridge was aired, in which he pitched a TV show, Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank, to BBC bosses. Eubank commented 'Up until recently, I had absolutely no idea why people used to mention hostels to me and smile. Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank has now become a reality, and I'm delighted that Hostelworld has given me this great opportunity to get to know the world of youth hostelling'.
