We love a homes and interiors show – and so we were delighted to hear that Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr is back for a new series.

The craft TV show will see ten novice designers battle it out for their big break into commercial interior design.

The winner of the show will receive a collaboration contract with a global homeware brand to produce their own line of home furnishings. The show is presented by Alan Carr and is judged by design expert Michelle Ogundehin.

The show will be back on our screens on Tuesday 12 March at 8pm on BBC One, with an episode being released every week for eight weeks. Don't forget you can then watch Stacey Solomon's Sort Your Life Out straight afterwards, with each episode airing at 9pm on Tuesdays on BBC One.

Each week on Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr, the contestants must work as a team or individually to transform a commercial space with innovative interior design. These include turning former nun’s cells into B&Bs, revamping activity centres at Chester Zoo, transforming Wembley dressing rooms and remodelling holiday lodges at Blenheim Palace.

Ahead of the first episode, Alan Carr shared what viewers can expect from the new series of Interior Design Masters. He said we can look forward to "Brilliant designers, exciting locations and eye-popping interior design. The show is such a springboard – that’s what I love about it."

Alan thinks the mix of the designers is key to the show's success. He explained: "It’s getting the right mix, not just of personalities but design styles. This year does not disappoint: we have quirky designers, serious designers but the one thing they have in common is that they are designers who are just starting out.

"On this show you always think that you’ve seen everything and then a designer comes along with something so uniquely beautiful, or in some cases hideously awful, but you are always surprised whether in a good way or bad!"

Judge Michelle revealed the key attributes she's looking for from this year's contestants. She said: "I’m looking for people who are open to learn. People with a can-do attitude and a unique point of view. I can only bring out the best in someone who's prepared to accept that they don't know it all already."

Michelle also opened up about why she thinks interior design is so important. She spoke about what she loves most: "The power to change the way people feel. Interior design isn’t just about colour and cushions, it’s absolutely fundamental to wellbeing. That’s what drives me."

We can't wait to see how this year's designers get on!

Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr airs every Tuesday at 8pm on BBC One.
