A spokesman said: “Has your dream project become a nightmare and you don’t know which way to turn?

“Are you stuck trying to bring a once-loved family heirloom back to life?

“Has your garden build got lost along the way?

“Do you need inspiration to help give a family celebration that extra special twist?

“From crafty conundrums to entire room renovations and garden rescues, we want to hear from you!”

In Escape to the Chateau, the husband-and-wife duo offers viewers a close-up look at the remarkable renovations they have carried out on their French chateau.

The couple said this spin-off series Make Do and Mend is ‘humbling’.

The pair said: “Capturing our life at the Chateau has grown out of a fantastic creative relationship with Lizi Wootton, who we have worked with for more than four years.

“It’s fantastic to be partnering with such an experienced and dynamic team.”
