BBC’s Homes Under the Hammer is set for an exciting shake-up as the beloved daytime property show welcomes a brand new face to its team of presenters.
Owain Wyn Evans is bringing his charismatic personality and flair for transformation to the show’s line up.
He is set to join Martin Roberts, Dion Dublin, Martel Maxwell, Jacqui Joseph and Tommy Walsh on the BBC programme as one of the show hosts.
The latest series will see the team traveling the length and breadth of the UK, showcasing property developments in locations from Canterbury to Aberdeen.
Viewers can look forward to seeing a mix of charming period properties and ambitious renovations.
In one episode, Tommy Walsh heads to London and explores the potential of a one-bedroom flat that could be worth a million pounds post renovation.
Viewers will get their Martin Roberts fix while he visits a house that’s on the colourless side in Bishop’s Stortford.
Fans of the show were recently concerned that he would leave Homes Under the Hammer after landing a new project with ITV, so they will be pleased to hear that he is still in the mix this season.
Elsewhere, Jacqui Joseph checks out a riverside period home being modernised for a growing family.
Meanwhile Dion Dublin shows he isn’t afraid to get down and dirty, rolling up his sleeves to tackle a terrace that’s been overgrown by ivy in North Wales.
New presenter Owain Wyn Evans will dive into the action as well, traveling to Llanelli, Swansea, Birmingham, and London to meet landlords and developers transforming properties into multi-purpose housing.
Owain commented on his new role, saying: “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!”
Muslim Alim, the Commissioning Editor for BBC Daytime, expressed his excitement about Owain’s addition to the lineup, adding: “Homes Under The Hammer is a cornerstone of the BBC Daytime schedule.
“Captivating audiences with its blend of property investment and creative renovation it caters to all budgets and offers invaluable tips, tricks and expert advice for every viewer…
