ROCHELLE HUMES: INTERIOR DESIGNER IN THE MAKING

NEW MONDAY, 8PM, W FACTUAL

Rochelle Humes has long been passionate about all things decor, and now she's embarking on a mission to help deserving families transform their homes in a new series for W.

The 10-parter, Rochelle Humes: Interior Designer in the Making, sees the singer and presenter join forces with one of her best friends, professional interior designer Sally O'Connor, to carry out makeovers suitable for the post-pandemic world.

Here, Rochelle, 33, who enrolled in an interior-design course ahead of the show and has renovated five homes of her own, tells TV Times why this was a dream job...

When did your love for design begin?

Since I was very young, I've rearranged rooms, changed colour and pattern, and I've loved renovating and decorating my own homes as an adult. I think if I wasn't doing what I do now, it would have been something I would definitely have pursued.

What do you think sets this series apart from other home-makeover shows?
