Stacey Solomon’s Renovation Rescue, 17 April 2024, Channel 4, “Jo and Darryl’s Seaside Dream”

In this second episode of Stacey Solomon’s Renovation Rescue, we head to the coast of Devon, where Jo and Darryl are facing a homeowner’s worst nightmare. Their vision of a dream home by the sea has turned into a costly and stressful reality. After building inspectors condemned £127,000 worth of work, they are left with just £30,000 to bring their damaged sea-view home back to life.

Stacey Solomon, the show’s host, is known for her infectious enthusiasm for DIY and money-saving design tips. In this episode, airing on Channel 4 on Wednesday 17 April, she guides Jo and Darryl through the process of taking on some of the renovation work themselves, including fitting their own kitchen and flooring. By doing so, they can stretch their remaining budget further and hopefully avoid paying the extra £10,000 a professional builder would charge.

Stacey also shares her creative design ideas, encouraging the couple to embrace new interior styles. From a striking caned storage cupboard to an ocean-inspired feature wall, she helps them realise their dream of a beautiful upside-down living space that makes the most of their seaside location.

As Jo and Darryl navigate the challenges of renovating their home, Stacey also continues her own DIY journey at Pickle Cottage. She works on creating a home gym and a dedicated space for her husband Joe’s fishing gear, showcasing her ability to transform spaces on a budget.

Stacey Solomon’s Renovation Rescue airs on Channel 4 at 9.00 pm on Wednesday 17 April 2024.
