Changing Rooms has announced who will be hosting Channel 4's new reboot after Davina McCall pulled out over its "changing production schedule".

Following McCall's departure, it's been revealed that Naked Attraction and The Sex Education Show host Anna Richardson is taking over.

Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is still returning from the old BBC days. Carpenter and joiner Tibby Singh is also joining the team for the revival, as well as 2LG Studio designers Jordan Cluroe and Russell Whitehead

"What an honour to be joining the Changing Rooms team, one of my favourite shows from when I first started in TV!" Anna said.

"This series is an absolute classic and I can’t wait to see the designs the legendary Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and the brilliant Jordan and Russell of 2LG come up with for our homeowners. Let’s get that house swapping started!"

The series, which will consist of six episodes at an hour-long each, will focus on two families who are tasked with renovating a room in each other's houses.

They'll have a strict time limit and a budget, which will hopefully inspire viewers to make their money go further.

The Changing Rooms reboot doesn't currently have a release date, but it is expected to air on Channel 4 later this year.
