Homes Under the Hammer confirms new presenter as Radio 2 star joins line-up
You may recognise them from last year's celebrity special!
There is a new addition to the Homes Under the Hammer family, as property expert Owain Wyn Evans will be joining the presenting line-up as the show returns for its 27th season.
Evans will appear on screens alongside Martin Roberts, Dion Dublin, Martel Maxwell, Jacqui Joseph and Tommy Walsh later this year, and joins the line-up after presenting Wales' Home of the Year on BBC One, where he first shared his flair for home renovation and interior design.
The show will travel across the UK from Canterbury to Cumbria, Aberdeen to Hampshire - all in the name property development!
As for what Evans will get stuck into, in London he explores a one-bedroom flat which has a potential value of £1 million - if renovated properly.
Elsewhere, "Martin dons a colourful shirt to make up for a lack of colour in a property in Bishop's Stortford, and Jacqui visits a riverside period property that is modernised to be a family home.
"Dion tackles overgrown ivy that's invading an end terrace in North Wales and Owain will visit Llanelli, Swansea, Birmingham and London meeting landlords and developers who have invested in the properties for multiple housing purposes."
Wyn Evans said: "What can I say? I love a transformation, dahlings! I've renovated several homes over the years and have not been afraid to get my hands dirty in the process.
"I love getting inspiration from others, and seeing the before and after really does make this a dream job for me.
"I've watched Homes Under the Hammer for years and it is such an iconic show. Now, pass me a sturdy boot and a hard hat, I can't wait to discover more fabulous home transformations with the team!"
