Fearne Cotton and Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen have been spotted in Whitstable this week filming an upcoming television show.

It is believed they were shooting a BBC 2 makeover show which sees amateur interior designers go head-to-head as they’re tasked with revamping properties.

Llewelyn-Bowen, an interior design guru best known for BBC DIY home-improvement show Changing Rooms, is thought to be a judge on the new series – alongside Michelle Ogundehin, former editor-in-chief at Elle Decoration – while Fearne Cotton is presenting the show.

The stars were seen at three High Street hairdressers – Len’s Barbers, Jelly Beanz Hair Design and Edge Hairdressing.

The businesses were refurbished as part of the show, and each is now sporting a fresh new look.

Ashley Garrard, senior barber at Len’s Barbers, said: “We were approached to take part by the show’s location person.

“We had a mishmash of styles in here before - there was a lot of chrome. But now it’s a kind of vintage look – it’s really cool. It’s a complete change.”

It is not yet known when the show will air. The BBC has been contacted for more information.
