Jermaine began by pointing out the second series of her Channel 4 show begins this week.
He said: "In it, with your famous friends you go on the hunt for the ultimate staycation."
Jermaine proceeded to show a clip of Sandi's new show, which showed her spending the night at a number of luxurious destinations including a castle and a windmill.
"Sandi, those places look so beautiful and idyllic," the host continued. "I am guessing it didn't take much persuading for you to do a second series?"

"I am so embarrassed that is what I do for a living," Sandi admitted.
"It was just one of the greatest privileges of my life. I think all of us when we had the lockdown and the world seemed small and you didn't have the opportunity to look out into the distance.
"To have the chance to go, not just to some of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, but to go with fabulous women.
"I don't know if it sounds weird to you but I don't think there has been a travel show before where women of a certain age were allowed to celebrate female friendship."
"And that has been one of the most glorious things," Sandi added.
