Davina McCall to host revived Changing Rooms for Channel 4

Channel 4 confirms the revival of Changing Rooms, with Davina McCall replacing Carol Smillie as host.

Channel 4 has confirmed that Changing Rooms is to make a comeback with Davina McCall as its new host.

The home makeover series originally aired on the BBC between 1996 and 2004 and was fronted by Carol Smillie, with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen as chief interior designer.

McCall will replace Smillie for the new run, although Llewelyn-Bowen - known for his flamboyant style - will be back for the revival alongside an as-yet-undetermined second rival designer.

"I'm so excited to be presenting Changing Rooms. It's a classic!" said McCall.

"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!"

Llewelyn-Bowen added: "There's no room for beige in our homes and, just as it was in the 90s, Changing Rooms is once more the homestyle antidote to Britain's blues (and greys and taupes, and even Magnolia).

"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 for me to squeeze those leather trousers back on."

The six-part series is expected to air on Channel 4 early next year.
