Storage Hunters UK is about to get a dose of American pride this week as Jesse McClure shows up to ruffle some feathers.
One of the original stars of the Us series reunites with auctioneer Sean Kelly on Tuesday (June 6) and instantly starts plotting to get in his rivals' heads.
McClure will appear in an episode taking place in Preston, following fellow Us star T-Money's recent appearance on the show.
Last year, McClure told Digital Spy that he would love to see and star in a UK version of Storage Hunters.
He said: "I think the idea of having a Us and UK intermixed, so you have Brits and Americans going at each other, it would add even more because you have that pride for your country, that pride about where you come from and the pride of, 'I know more than you do', so it's going to amp it up even more so.

Storage Hunters UK Sean Kelly: 'One of the things I like about the UK is getting away from Brandori'
A UK version of addictive reality show Storage Hunters seemed like a pretty safe bet for Dave - and it turned out to be, with the first series becoming the highest-rated show on the channel last year. So it's no surprise that it's back for a second series!
Part of the show's success is, of course, down to auctioneer Sean Kelly - a stand-up comedian with an utterly mesmerising calling style. We got Sean on the phone to chat Us stars coming onto the UK show, why we can expect some big arguments and whether the Us show will ever be rebooted...
Hi Sean! What's it like to be back for a second series?
"I felt like I knew the UK a little bit better. I'd spent a little bit more time here kind of getting to know the country after travelling around for the first series. So for the...

"Brap-pa-dap-ba-dap-ba-dap! All in, fair warned! Sold your way for $2,000!"
If that phrase means anything to you, then you're likely a huge fan of Storage Hunters, Dave's biggest hit from across the Atlantic. It's now coming back for a UK spinoff, with auctioneer and comedian Sean Kelly keeping things under control once again.
Ahead of the brand new series, Digital Spy sat down with Kelly about how the show is different from its predecessor. Here's what we found out:
Sean was amazed at the UK's love for Storage Hunters
"A comedian friend of mine, George Lopez, he and I were doing a charity fundraiser together and he's like, 'Dude you should get on Twitter'. He had to explain to me how it works and so I sent out like two tweets and all of a sudden I started getting thousands of followers in the UK and I'm like, 'What is this?...

Dave has unveiled a first-look at new series Storage Hunters UK.
Sean Kelly - auctioneer and host of the original Us Storage Hunters - will also host the ten-part UK version.
Based on TruTV's Us reality hit, Storage Hunters UK focuses on Kelly's sale of storage auctions and the high-pressure bidding that results.
In the first-look clip - unveiled today (September 4) at the UKTV Live event - tensions are high and tempers are frayed as the UK participants compete and exchange insults.
"The Us version of Storage Hunters is currently UKTV's highest rating programme on Dave, consistently attracting nearly one million viewers and regularly securing the top slot on Dave on Demand," said Catherine Catton, UKTV's senior commissioning editor.
"Put simply, our viewers love it and we are delighted to be able to bring such a successful brand to the channel and put Dave's own unique stamp on it."

Earlier this month, Digital Spy spoke to Storage Hunters star Jesse McClure about the show, its future and his co-stars.
During our chat, Jesse warned us to never mention the "B word", referring to his fellow hunters Brandon and Lori Bernier, making it known that their on-screen rivalry is very much real.
Since then, Team Brandori got in touch with Digital Spy to give their no-holds-barred side of the story, and spill the beans on life on the show and what they truly think of their rivals.

"Brandon and I were both discovered at a North Hollywood storage auction in April 2010, hosted by our friend Dan Dotson of Storage Wars. The production company liked our energy and asked us if we wanted to do a sizzle reel for a storage auction show following Sean Kelly.
