Model Leomie, 31, is said to be the perfect candidate after impressing bosses while hosting the BBC Three show, which searches for Britain's next top make-up artist.

A source has exclusively told The Sun: "The BBC love Leomie and are thrilled with how she went down as the host of Glow Up, especially as following in the footsteps of Maya Jama isn’t easy, so they were super keen to sign her up for another show."

They added: "Interior Design Masters has also proved a huge smash for the Beeb, so it made sense that they would do a celebrity version and Leomie was a natural choice to be a contestant.

"She’s gorgeous, funny and attracts a youthful demographic.”

Leomie previously appeared on the 2011 reality TV show The Model Agency.

She is most famous for being a runway model for Victoria's Secret and also appeared in ad campaigns for companies like Topshop and Moschino.

The star will join a number of other famous faces in the new spin-off series.

The current format pits ten amateur interior designers against each other for the life-changing chance to impress head judge Michelle Ogundehin and win a commercial contract with a top boutique hotel in the Lake District.

Contestants meet each other for the first time when arriving at a design studio in London before being introduced to Alan and head judge, former Elle Decoration editor-in-chief Michelle Ogundehin.

Each week, Michelle, who is highly regarded in the design industry, sets the designers a different commercial design challenge.

Her task is then to scrutinise their designs alongside big name industry specialists acting as guest judges.

TV favourite Alan took over her role as the host from Fearne Cotton in 2021.

Roisin Quinn went onto win the fifth series and has since landed a homeware collection with La Redoute.
