Let it SEW

KIELL SMITH-BYNOE on taking over hosting duties for this year's festive edition

THE GREAT BRITISH SEWING BEE: CELEBRITY CHRISTMAS SPECIAL
THURSDAY, 9 PM, BBC1 REALITY

Kiell Smith-Bynoe is bursting at the seams to share news of his return to The Great British Sewing Bee. ‘I found my way back! I’m drawn to the sewing machines!’ smiles the Ghosts star, 34, who, after competing in the 2021 celebrity Christmas special of the popular BBC1 show, is now presenting this year’s seasonal installment and the upcoming 10th series.

Stepping in for Sara Pascoe while she’s on maternity leave, Kiell joins judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young in welcoming a new class of stitchers to the sewing room – singer Toyah Willcox, along with actors Kerry Godliman, Jessica Knappett, and Hammed Animashaun – where they will be tasked with three tree-tremendous tasks.
