I know we\u2019re talking about it, I know we\u2019re talking about specials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the things I used to really enjoy with Changing Rooms was Christmas specials \u2013 they\u2019re always a huge laugh.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow I\u2019ve done it, having been so vociferous about turning it down, since we\u2019ve opened that tomb, let\u2019s get on with it.<\/p> <p>\u201cThe level of enjoyment that you get from the makeover as the designer is ridiculously addictive, and I think the big thing for me, as well, is that I know all of those rooms have been beautifully done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSay what you want about the design, but in terms of how they\u2019re built, how they\u2019re constructed, how we painted them, how we decorated them, the furniture we use, everything is absolutely as I would have done it for a swanky, fancy-pants client who might be paying me an absolute fortune. So that was a big thing for me. If I could achieve that, then there is literally no stopping me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, I have made a significant investment in my leather trousers, so I would like to be able to get a little bit more wear out of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new series, hosted by Llewelyn-Bowen and Naked Attraction\u2019s Anna Richardson, sees two sets of homeowners from the same neighbourhood renovate a room in each other\u2019s houses with the help of designers Jordan Cluroe and Russell Whitehead as well as carpenter Tibby Singh.<\/p>\n<section class=\"&quot;template-article__editor-content\"><strong>Changing Rooms returns 18th August at 8pm on Channel 4. <b>While you\u2019re waiting, visit our <a title=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/&quot;\" href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"&quot;NotApplicable&quot;\">TV Guide<\/a> to see what\u2019s on tonight or check out our <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/&quot;\">Entertainment<\/a> hub for all the latest news.<\/b><\/strong><\/section>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The Changing Rooms host wants to get &#8220;a little bit more wear&#8221; out of his leather trousers in future series of the Channel 4 reboot. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":3152,"template":"","categories":[1],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/laurence-llewellyn-bowen-wants-changing-rooms-to-do-a-christmas-special.jpg",620,413,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/laurence-llewellyn-bowen-wants-changing-rooms-to-do-a-christmas-special-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/laurence-llewellyn-bowen-wants-changing-rooms-to-do-a-christmas-special-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/laurence-llewellyn-bowen-wants-changing-rooms-to-do-a-christmas-special.jpg",620,413,false],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/laurence-llewellyn-bowen-wants-changing-rooms-to-do-a-christmas-special.jpg",620,413,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/laurence-llewellyn-bowen-wants-changing-rooms-to-do-a-christmas-special.jpg",620,413,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/laurence-llewellyn-bowen-wants-changing-rooms-to-do-a-christmas-special.jpg",620,413,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"The Changing Rooms host wants to get \"a little bit more wear\" out of his leather trousers in future series of the Channel 4 reboot.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/3151"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
