“Celebrity IOU” kicks off its ninth season with a heartwarming story of appreciation. This time, it’s Rob Lowe stepping up to the plate to thank his longtime assistant, Carol, who has been by his side for 27 years. Lowe describes her as “family,” and what better way to show your gratitude than with a surprise home renovation?
Partnering with the Scott Brothers, Lowe sets out to transform Carol’s kitchen and living area. However, a twist emerges when Jonathan Scott falls ill, leaving Drew to shoulder the renovation responsibilities solo. Adding a touch of flair to the proceedings, a mariachi band is thrown into the mix, promising a festive reveal for the unsuspecting Carol. The updated space will feature a stylish pass-through window and a built-in banquette, all designed to enhance both the functionality and aesthetic of Carol’s home.
“Celebrity IOU” airs Monday, February 3, at 9:00 PM on HGTV.
