Naked Attraction host Anna Richardson has been confirmed as the new host of Channel 4’s new version of Changing Rooms.
The 50-year-year presenter will team up with interior designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen to give the show a fresh lick of paint.
Designers Jordan Cluroe and Russel Whitehead of 2LG Studio have also joined the team as well as carpenter and joiner Tibby Singh.
Changing Rooms will see two sets of homeowners from the same neighbourhood work against the clock to renovate a room in each other’s houses.
The homeowners will work with the team to bring the new looks to life in the chosen rooms, with the designers’ bold and opposing styles ensuring each transformation will be spectacular, innovative and unexpected.

Anna will guide viewers through the makeovers and hear from the homeowners throughout the process to see how they’re feeling about the renovations they’re carrying out, and what might be going on back in their own home.
Speaking about joining the line-up, she said: “What an honour to be joining the Changing Rooms team, one of my favourite shows from when I first started in TV.
“This series is an absolute classic and I can’t wait to see the designs the legendary Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and the brilliant Jordan and Russell of 2LG come up with for our homeowners.
“Let’s get that house swapping started!”

Big Brother legend Davina McCall was forced to quit as host of the Changing Rooms reboot after the filming schedule reportedly became a “nightmare” for her.
The 53-year-old star allegedly pulled out of the gig after filming for ITV’s The Masked Singer made it “impossible” for her to juggle both.
In October Davina was confirmed to replace Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen in Channel 4’s new take on the home makeover series.

Davina stated at the time of the announcement that she couldn’t wait to “get stuck in”.
However, five months later it was confirmed that Davina had to drop out.
Changing Rooms ran on the BBC for just under a decade from 1996 to 2004.
In August last year, the show’s original presenter Carol Smillie admitted she would love to return to the show if it was revamped.

“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,” she explained.
“It was the first time we’d had car-crash telly, when you would be sitting there with a cushion in front of your eyes, saying, ‘Oh no!’ It was sometimes like watching a disaster in slow motion.
Carol told Daly Mail’s Weekend Magazine ban in 2017: “As a nation, we like to snoop around other people’s houses and that had never been done on TV before.”
