What is Stacey Solomon's Renovation Rescue?
Renovation Rescue is a brand new DIY series on Channel 4, which sees Stacey Solomon help desperate families who have faced home makeover disasters, after being left high and dry by their builders.
Throughout the series, 34-year-old Stacey will share her clever money-saving design tips, as well as her enthusiasm for DIY as she attempts to help the families salvage their half-built homes on a budget.
Stacey said of the new show: “Too many people are ripped off by bad builders costing them their hard-earned cash and leaving them in chaos. So I’m teaching them the DIY skills they need to save money and get their builds back on track."

After the first episode aired on 10th April, Stacey took to Instagram to express her love to fans who messaged their love.
She wrote: 'I was very nervous today. It's always scary doing something new. But me, Joe and the kids (that didn't fall asleep) watched the first Renovation Rescue tonight and I'm so proud. I'm now sitting here reading your messages and they are so f**king nice it's making me emotional. Thank you! I'm so grateful for you support and I'm SO SO happy you LOVE the show'. (sic)
