Beloved BBC competition series returning to screens next year – and applications are already open
A POPULAR competition show is returning to BBC One next year for its sixth series.
Interior Design Masters has been presented by Alan Carr since 2021, taking over from Fearne Cotton.
Applications are now open for the upcoming series.
The format pits ten amateur interior designers against each other for the life-changing chance to win a commercial contract with a top boutique hotel in the Lake District.
Contestants meet each other for the first time when arriving at a design studio in London before being introduced to Alan and head judge, former Elle Decoration editor-in-chief Michelle Ogundehin.
Each week, Michelle, who is highly regarded in the design industry, sets the designers a different commercial design challenge.
Her task is then to scrutinise their designs alongside big name industry specialists acting as guest judges.
While some weeks see the designers working as individuals, others put them together into teams.
Each week, Michelle decides what constitutes a winning design and passes judgement on the weaker efforts and alongside the guest judge, she determines who is eliminated.
Interior Design Masters is available on BBC iPlayer.
It comes as another of Alan’s BBC projects has also been given the green light to return.
Alan and Amanda Holden will once again join forces in Amanda & Alan’s Italian Job.
The format has seen the pair take on dilapidated properties in Italy and restore them, although next series will offer up a change in scenery.
