DIY SOS is back and looking for participants to join the show from across the North West. Ready with 'an army of volunteers', the BBC show is seeking deserving individuals, families, or community projects needing assistance. Nick Knowles and his Purple Shirts team want to help those who have given back to the community or families with unsuitable homes.

Mr Knowles said: "We are so excited to be back building again for people who really need our help, and the help of their community. "We will be back travelling the country and showcasing the wonderfully generous and caring builders and suppliers everywhere." You can apply online today if you know of a project or build that can make a difference.

Applications can be submitted via the BBC's website at https://www.bbc.co.
