CHANGING ROOMS

NEW WEDNESDAY / C4 / 8PM / EP 1 of 6 / LIFESTYLE

After a 17-year hiatus, iconic makeover series Changing Rooms returns to our screens this week – with a fresh lick of paint for an era of instant interiors, and a brand-new home on C4.

The show, which originally ran on the BBC between 1996 and 2004, will still see neighbors work against the clock to redecorate a room in each other’s houses with the help of a professional designer.

The homeowners will either be teamed up with fan-favorite Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, who is back on board for this reboot or new signings Jordan Cluroe and Russell Whitehead of 2LG Studio. Completing the team is a carpenter and joiner Tibby Singh, while presenter Anna Richardson takes on hosting duties.
