Stacey Solomon has been replaced as the host of Channel 4 show Renovation Rescue after announcing she and husband Joe Swash will star in a Kardashians-style series for the BBC
TV favourite Stacey Solomon recently announced she is to star in her own Kardashian-style reality TV show.
While fans are excited at the prospect of the former X Factor star and Joe Swash airing their family life on screen, it means she has had to take a step back from other roles. One project that has fallen by the wayside is her presenting job on Renovation Rescue.
The Channel 4 series is set to return for a second outing, but will do so without Stacey at the forefront. The show, which first aired in April 2025, saw Stacey, 35, help those who are in the middle of trying to do up their homes – but have run out of money. The reality TV star offered her tips and tricks to those in need on how to save some cash in a bid to get their project over the line.
While she won’t appear in the upcoming series, viewers will watch on as model Vogue Williams and Love Island’s Luke Mabbott take over presenting duties. Vogue, who is married to Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, revealed her excitement at taking on the role.

She said: “‘I’ve done a lot of exciting projects in my career, but I am so delighted to be given the opportunity to roll up my sleeves and get stuck into the second series of this truly brilliant show. Home renovation is a huge passion of mine, and I am excited to put my degrees in Construction and Quantity Surveying to the test! I’m very happy to be joining forces with Luke – we get on like a house on fire and I think I’m gonna learn a lot of DIY skills from him.”
Luke, who placed third on the 2020 series of Love Island has been busy renovating a chapel in Cornwall. Speaking ahead of his new role, he said: “The fact that Channel 4 are putting their trust in me to be part of this series is just mind blowing to me, but I am so excited. I can’t wait to work with Vogue and help change the lives of people who need just a little bit of encouragement and some simple tips and tricks to make their dream project a reality.”
And Channel 4’s Commissioning Editor, Clemency Green, also praised the appointment, saying: “We are thrilled that Renovation Rescue is returning to Channel 4. We’re really excited to bring Vogue Williams into the fold and it’s going to give viewers a chance to see her phenomenal talents and skills in a completely new light. Renovation Rescue is also providing us with an opportunity to nurture exciting new talent such as Luke. I know for a fact that they will both bring their unique, warm and most importantly, authentic flare to the format and I can’t wait to see how the pair shine on screen.”
