Queer Eye star Tan France has been appointed as the first ever International Editor for The Edinburgh TV Festival’s Advisory Board.

Through the role, the TV personality and celebrity stylist will work with the rest of the board to shape this year's festival, bringing 'a unique perspective and experience' to curating the sessions with an international flavour, and he commented 'I am passionate about making content that touches people around the world, and content that is truly representative of the audience watching... The Edinburgh TV Festival is a brilliant platform to shine a light on the amazing people in our business and their work - and to ask meaningful questions, to move the dial on what is offered to the audience. I can’t wait to be involved in shaping the TV Festival this year as International Editor'.
