Comedian Rhod Gilbert To Present DIY SOS: The Big Build

Comedian and TV and radio presenter Rhod Gilbert will present BBC One's property renovation show, DIY SOS: The Big Build, when it heads to Hull for a BBC Children in Need Special in September.
Rhod will join the programme's team of Mark, Chris, Jules and Billy, alongside playground engineer John O'Driscoll and local tradesmen and volunteers, to embark on a build that will improve the physical and emotional health and wellbeing of children and young people in Hull and the surrounding areas.
Rhod said: "It's a great honour to step in to Nick’s enormous steel toe-capped boots and be involved in Children in Need. I’m looking forward to joining the infamous DIY SOS team, and rallying an enormous group of local volunteers on a wonderfully ambitious and important project. After having tried my hand at over 30 jobs on my Work Experience TV programme, I’m hoping I may even be of some use around the site. My vis is high and my hat is hard, so bring it on."
Paolo Proto, Executive Producer on DIY SOS, added: "We are delighted to have Rhod join the team for this incredibly special build in Hull for St Michael's Youth Project. We can't wait to see him get his hands dirty, and we'll need his humour and empathy as we transform an empty field into an adventure camping site that will benefit children and young people across Hull, for the Big Build BBC Children in Need Special."
