Doncaster homeowners are needed to take part in a new declutter TV show with DIY SOS star Nick Knowles

Viacom Studios, which makes many different programmes from Cruising with Jane McDonald to Wonderful World of Chocolate, is currently making a brand-new home show for Channel 5 fronted by Nick Knowles

DIY SOS star Nick Knowles is to appear on Channel 5 for the first time after landing a brand-new format.

Knowles will utilise his home improvement knowledge in Nick Knowles: Your Life on Your Lawn (working title). The six 60-minute format will see the presenter empty a cluttered home of its belongings, before guiding each family through a “cathartic and emotional” decluttering process.

The house will then be made over, giving the families more space for features such as home offices or cinema rooms.

Knowles said C5 has been “making such good shows currently” that it is “a no brainer to join in” .

A spokesman said: “We are looking for families who need a declutter, maybe someone who has a lifetime of possessions and doesn’t know where to start. We will send Nick and a wonderful team who will transform two rooms, redecorate, declutter and hopefully help the family fall back in love with their home. We’ll find lovely possessions they’ve forgotten they owned and bring them back to life.

“We are very keen to hear from people in the area.”
