Stacey Solomon reveals how she was ripped off by cowboy builders as she launches her new DIY show after being headhunted by Reese Witherspoon
Stacey Solomon, from east London, spoke to Weekend Magazine about when she and husband Joe were scammed by a cowboy builder.
We've seen her save people from chaos on the hugely popular show Sort Your Life Out, shipping their possessions off to be laid out on the floor of a warehouse, where Stacey helps them decide what to keep and what to throw out – with all the tears and emotion that entails. But now she's been headhunted by a Hollywood legend – on whom more in a moment – to pick up a drill and front a new series called Renovation Rescue, coming to the aid of those abandoned by builders, with their unfinished homes in ruins. In Renovation Rescue she'll help couples sort out the mess they're in and learn the skills – such as painting, decorating, basic plumbing and building work – needed to do it themselves and claw back costs.
