When is Changing Rooms back on Channel 4 and how can I watch it?
CHANGING Rooms has had a revamp.
The decorating show, which launches on Channel 4 tonight, sees homeowners renovate each other's properties - often with very mixed results.
When is Changing Rooms back?
After more than a decade away, Changing Rooms will be returning to our screens on Wednesday, August 18, 2021 at 8pm.
The first episode sees the crew head to Swansea where they attempt to bring some new life to Lisa's beige bedroom, whilst she takes charge of neighbour Claire's house.
Each week, the show follows two different homeowners as they remodel each other's houses - and they can do anything they feel like, taking complete creative control over the renovation.
Predictably, this lead to some awkward and tense moments during Changing Room's original run, with some participants not quite able to appreciate the makeovers their homes received.
And, judging by the first look - which sees the design team screaming as hand-made ornaments break - the revamp is fully embracing the chaos.
