Legendary home makeover show returning to screens ten years after being axed by ITV
A LEGENDARY home makeover show is returning to screens ten years after being canned by ITV.
The broadcaster is reviving 60 Minute Makeover ten years after dropping it from schedules.
Viewers of the hit daytime series watched as a member of the public was nominated by their family or friends for a house overhaul.
TVZone report bosses at ITV have ordered a new series – comprising of a whooping 60 episodes.
The website added that the revived show will once again air in ITV’s daytime schedule.
60 Minute Makeover originally aired on the channel between 2004 and 2014.
Claire Sweeney, Terri Dwyer, Linda Barker, Catherine Gee and Peter Andre all presented the show over the years.
In 2018 digital channel Quest Red rebooted the series after a four-year break with Peter Andre returning as host before it was axed again.
It’s yet to be revealed if Peter Andre will return or a new host will take over from the Mysterious Girl Singer.
Meanwhile, a star of the show previously revealed behind-the-scenes secrets of filming.
Professional builder Craig Phillips, who won the first ever series of Big Brother, has revealed the show was staged.
Craig was part of the team of builders who were drafted in for the remodelling.
He said: “It happens in the time that you see us recording it but it’s the planning and preparation off camera that you don’t always see to make us be able to do it in that time frame.
“Lets face it, what you see in the house happens in the 60 minutes because we shoot it in two 30-minute halfs.”
The 51-year-old continued to the Daily Star that work would already have been started before the cameras rolled.
