Banjo is 36-years-old from the isle of Mull and is a cheesemonger and marketer.

He describes his style as "playful and wild".

Some may say his move from cheese making on a remote farm to interior design is a big move, but he is keen to prove himself worthy of winning the competition.

Dean

Dean, 41 is a store manager from Reading.

He describes his style as "dark and moody".

At first he was hesitant to apply for the show as he felt like he didn't have a lot of design experience. However, with just five minutes of the applications closing, he took the plunge and applied.

Fran

Fran is a 38-year-old fashion stylist from London.

She describes her style as "contemporary bohemian".

Like many, when the pandemic hit Fran lost all her work overnight so decided to redecorate her flat to keep herself busy.

By doing so, she learnt how to be creative on a budget.

Molly

Molly is a 23-year-old business administrator from Bedfordshire.

She describes her style as "eccentric classic".

Molly may have an advantage in the competition as she has already had some experience in the industry and started her first interior design job when she was just 18.

Sadly, the company she was working for went bust due to the pandemic.

Paul

Paul, 52, is a visual merchandiser originally from Lancashire but now lives in London.

He describes his style as "mid-century minimalist".

Turning 50 at the start of lockdown in 2020, it made him question his career choices, in which he decided that he needs to do something more creative.

Peter

Peter is a 63-year-old hair salon owner from Newcastle Upon Tyne.

He describes his style as being “style chameleon”.

He's always had a real passion for interior design and with a push from his family and friends, he decided to apply for the show.

Richard

Richard is a 29-year-old interior stylist from Birmingham.

He describes his style as “abstract colourist”.

He said he would watch the previous series of the show "religiously" and though that it looked like a lot of fun.

Rochelle

Rochelle, 34, is a team coordinator from London.

She describes her style as "modern glamour". 

She has always loved interior design and even has a degree in it.
