OHMYGOSSIP — Davina McCall is to present a reboot of ‘Changing Rooms’.
The 52-year-old TV presenter is set to join forces with 55-year-old interior designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen – who appeared on the original show, which aired on the BBC from 1996 to 2004 – when the home makeover programme makes a comeback on a new home, Channel 4.
Davina told The Sun newspaper: “I’m so excited to be presenting ‘Changing Rooms’.
“It’s the perfect time to bring it back. Everyone is going DIY and decor-mad!
“I can’t wait to see all the amazing transformations. I might even get stuck in myself if I’m allowed to be let loose with a paint brush.”
Laurence admitted he had to be “coaxed” back to the show.
He said: “It’s taken quite a lot of coaxing to get me under the ‘Changing Rooms’ banner once more, but nothing like as much coaxing as it’s going to take to squeeze those leather trousers back on.”
This comes just weeks after the show’s original presenter Carol Smillie admitted she would return to TV for the programme.
Speaking in August, she said: “It was definitely the favourite show of my career, without a doubt. It would be the only show I’d come back to telly for.”
The show gained a cult fan base over its eight-year stint on the Beeb, with one memorable moment seeing Laurence decorating a couple’s room with animal print and a red carpet.
However, the husband was less than impressed and insisted it looked like a “w****’* palace”.
