Late presenter Dale Winton will return to screens on Friday night in a posthumous airing of the rest of his Florida Fly Drive show.

The television presenter, who died in April aged 62, embarked on a 1500-mile, month-long tour of the sunshine state in what sadly became his final show for Channel 5.

Sprinkled with Winton's endearing, cheeky humour, the 43-minute long second episode sees the Supermarket Sweep star visit Miami and Palm Beach.

The glamour-filled show kicks off with a tour of Casa Casuarina, better known as the Versace mansion, where designer Gianni was assassinated in 1997, which is now a boutique hotel.

The show features a touching moment where Winton remembers his close friend and restaurateur Prady Balan, who died two years ago.

"Strange but true, the week I did my first edition of Supermarket Sweep was the same week he opened his first restaurant in Old Compton Street in London," he says as he people-watches.

"As I progressed, so did he... he would always give me the best advice and here is where I used to sit with him, people-watching. I haven't been able to come to Miami since I got the call and it is weird actually."

Winton and his crew progress to Little Havana, home to the city's thriving Latino community where he tries his hand at making a cigar

His tour of the city ends with a drive through Billionaire's Row - one of the most exclusive neighbourhoods in the United States which counts Rod Stewart as a resident.

The second instalment of the series was postponed following the tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school in Florida in February.

Channel 5 confirmed at the time that the remaining three episodes would be broadcast in June.

Dale Winton's Florida Fly Drive airs on Friday at 10pm on Channel 5.
