The show’s return was a success and Changing Rooms is back for another season but this time - without co-host Anna Richardson.

TV host, Anna Richardson previously presented the show back in 2021.

But since the programme has returned, there’s no sign of Anna or any other host.

Anna now presents the raunchy reality TV dating gameshow, Naked Attraction, and according to reports, her schedule was too demanding to return to Changing Rooms.

Viewers of the popular lifestyle programme are not happy with the producer’s decision, as they say it “doesn’t flow as it did”.

An annoyed viewer said: “Something is definitely missing! #Changingrooms”.

It was recently announced that the Naked Attraction star would not be appearing in the new series, and instead interior designer, Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen would provide voiceovers.

One viewer said: “Not sure about season two of #changingrooms on Channel 4 - no host, just endless voiceovers from designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen. Definitely missing something.”

Another echoed: “Changing Rooms just doesn't work as well without a presenter. I can sort of see why, but it needs someone to ground #ChangingRooms."

"Why did they get rid of Anna Richardson? She was great and I think needed. Not sure I like this new format," another viewer said.

This comes after speculation about the show getting cancelled.

A TV source, told "Channel 4 will be wondering what has gone wrong. A lot was put into it but it doesn't seem to have caught on."
