DIY SOS is looking for new projects and it wants Brits to come forward with people and families who would like to take part in an upcoming series.

The BBC show is a renovation series hosted by Nick Knowles, who was a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing this year, which aims to help deserving families and community projects around the UK.

Over the years, the series has made a difference to a variety of homes and families but now the programme needs more projects to take on.

Anyone with a home that isn’t “fit for purpose” is encouraged to apply to be on the show.

The BBC said: “DIY SOS is back!

“And we are on the lookout for new projects. Are you a home owner in desperate need of our help?

“Or do you know someone whose life could be transformed with a Big-Build?

“Nick Knowles and the Purple Shirts are on the hunt - so if your home, community centre, or other vital building isn’t fit for purpose then we’d love to hear from you.”
