Channel 4 reveals hosts of new DIY show after popular series axed over bullying claims

CHANNEL 4 has signed up a new couple to front a DIY property show after Escape to the ­Chateau was axed amid bullying accusations.

Great Pottery Throw Down judge Keith Brymer Jones, 58, will host with his partner Marj Hogarth.

They will be restoring a church in Wales they bought for £200,000.

It comes after Escape to the Chateau husband-and-wife stars Dick and Angel Strawbridge were investigated over clashes with producers from Two Rivers Media.

The untitled show is being filmed this summer for an autumn airing.

A TV insider said: “Fans of Escape to the Chateau will love this new show.

“Keith is a much-loved member of the Love Productions and Channel 4 family

“It made sense for him to have his own show as he and Marj undertake this extraordinary passion project – restoring a very beautiful and quintessentially British building, a church, to life.

“The pair then let in the public to experience a little slice of their creative world where they can share their passion and enthusiasm.”
