Former Love Island contestant, Cornwall's very own Luke Mabbott, is to star in a popular house renovation show. After launching in 2024 as one of Channel 4’s biggest new lifestyle titles, Hello Sunshine’s Renovation Rescue is set to return for a second series with two new hosts.
Armed with a degree in Construction Design and Management and another in Quantity Surveying, presenter Vogue Williams will take charge of proceedings alongside trained heating and plumbing engineer and former Love Island star Luke Mabbott. Vogue and Luke will pick up where the bad builders have left off, bringing their expertise, warmth and passion to help homeowners wanting to transform their home all by themselves.
The series will follow ambitious renovations as Vogue and Luke share money-saving skills, offer design inspiration, and demonstrate simple DIY techniques anyone can try at home. Together they will prove just how easy, satisfying, and cost effective it can be to pick up a power tool and get your hands dirty.
Vogue Williams said: “I’ve done a lot of exciting projects in my career, but I am so delighted to be given the opportunity to roll up my sleeves and get stuck into the second series of this truly brilliant show. Home renovation is a huge passion of mine, and I am excited to put my degrees in Construction to the test! I’m very happy to be joining forces with Luke - we get on like a house on fire and I think I’m gonna learn a lot of DIY skills from him.”
Luke Mabbott said: “The fact that Channel 4 are putting their trust in me to be part of this series is just mind blowing to me, but I am so excited. I can’t wait to work with Vogue and help change the lives of people who need just a little bit of encouragement and some simple tips and tricks to make their dream project a reality.”
Clemency Green, commissioning editor for Channel 4 said: “We are thrilled that Renovation Rescue is returning to Channel 4. We’re really excited to bring Vogue Williams into the fold and it’s going to give viewers a chance to see her phenomenal talents and skills in a completely new light. Renovation Rescue is also providing us with an opportunity to nurture exciting new talent such as Luke. I know for a fact that they will both bring their unique, warm and most importantly, authentic flare to the format and I can’t wait to see how the pair shine on screen.”
Sarah Lazenby, executive vice president for Hello Sunshine Unscripted UK, said: “We are delighted to build on the success of our global hit Renovation Rescue with this recommission and cannot wait to showcase Vogue and Luke’s expert talents and infectious on-screen chemistry in the new series. They are a DIY dream team who exude warmth and humour, and I cannot wait to see how they use their combined skill and passion to help others rebuild their dream homes.”
