An insider told The Sun: “They have been keen to get Owain onto one of their popular shows for a while — he will add a new dynamic. The upcoming series will feature both Tommy and Owain as there is a three-month lag with the house makeovers, so there is some crossover.”
Ex-builder Tommy only joined the auction property renovation team in 2021 alongside original presenter Martin Roberts, Martel Maxwell and Dion Dublin. A year later, the TV legend revealed his secret throat cancer diagnosis having had two lumps removed from his chest in 2002.
Tommy explained: “I had to go in straight away and have surgery to remove it. I am now fully recovered and even back playing football!” Welsh star Owain presented the weather on regional BBC shows for years and made his debut on BBC Breakfast in 2021, having reported for The One Show.
