There is exciting news for Dara Huang, who was once engaged to Princess Beatrice's husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, as it was confirmed she will be fronting a new Channel 4 show.

The American-born architect will be the judge on The Big Interior Battles, a show that will see eight interior designers receive the keys to a flat where they will be tasked to redesign one of the rooms every week. The series will be filmed in Sheffield's Eyewitness Works development, and the winner will receive a two-bedroom apartment in the high-end development.

Dara will judge each contestants' work and will decide who to eliminate from the competition, with the unlucky designer literally being "locked out" of the competition as a keycard they receive will no longer grant them entry to the flat.

Speaking about the show, Dara said: "I'm really looking forward to seeing what this cast of competitors bring to the table in the hopes of winning this life-changing prize.

"I'll be holding contestants to an extremely high standard as there's a lot at stake here – they'll need to employ genuinely innovative design hacks to create something original and impressive!"

The series will be hosted by former Strictly finalist AJ Odudu, who added: "I'm so excited to be involved in a series that has the potential to genuinely change the winner's life.
