Stacey Solomon replaced as host of Channel 4's Renovation Rescue
Vogue Williams and Luke Mabbott will lead the next edition of the property programme.
Renovation Rescue is returning for a second season on Channel 4 – but without its original presenter Stacey Solomon.
Instead, a two-person team of Vogue Williams and Love Island star Luke Mabbott will be the faces of the property programme, which helps homeowners whose renovation efforts have gone awry due to unreliable builders or budgeting issues.
Renovation Rescue is currently seeking participants for its second season, with interested parties invited to apply via email to build@producing-sunshine.com.
Originally titled Stacey Solomon's Renovation Rescue, the former Loose Women and I'm a Celebrity star can now be found on the BBC's Sort Your Life Out and upcoming reality series Stacey & Joe.
Williams has a degree in Construction Design and Management and another in Quantity Surveying, while Mabbott is a trained heating and plumbing engineer, so they certainly have the credentials to take the reins.
"I've done a lot of exciting projects in my career, but I am so delighted to be given the opportunity to roll up my sleeves and get stuck into the second series of this truly brilliant show," said Williams.
"Home renovation is a huge passion of mine, and I am excited to put my degrees in Construction and Quantity Surveying to the test! I'm very happy to be joining forces with Luke – we get on like a house on fire and I think I'm gonna learn a lot of DIY skills from him."
Mabbott commented: "The fact that Channel 4 are putting their trust in me to be part of this series is just mind-blowing to me, but I am so excited.
"I can't wait to work with Vogue and help change the lives of people who need just a little bit of encouragement and some simple tips and tricks to make their dream project a reality."
