“Interior Design Masters” is back with a special episode that promises plenty of excitement and creativity. This time, six well-known personalities are teaming up with host Alan to take on a unique challenge. They will be competing to give a young carers project a much-needed makeover, all in support of BBC Children in Need.

The lineup features a mix of talent, including comedian Jon Richardson, stand-up star Joanne McNally, and comedian Darren Harriott. Fashion model Leomie Anderson, along with music legends Martin and Shirlie Kemp, will also bring their flair to the design competition. Each contestant will roll up their sleeves and get to work, transforming the space to create a warm and welcoming environment for young carers.

As the designs come to life, Michelle Ogundehin and special guest judge Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen will be on hand to evaluate the creations. They will decide which team stands out with their innovative ideas and execution.

Netflix has bolstered their number of reality TV projects in recent years. While the streaming giant has turned to competition and dating series that are relatively easy to produce and lead to untold hours of binging, they have also expanded their lifestyle-style reality programs as well. Series like Tidying Up with Marie Kondo, Cooking with Paris, and Interior Design Masters have proven they have what it takes to keep the audience in their seats, and if the streaming giant is known for anything, it's excessively investing in a good thing.
