Alan Carr Takes on New Renovation Project in Amanda & Alan’s Greek Job

In the new BBC series, Alan Carr and Amanda Holden take on a big fat Greek renovation on the idyllic Ionian island of Corfu. It’s tearing down walls by day and smashing plates by night! While Amanda and Alan are not amateurs at renovating properties, this time we see the celebrity besties take on a crumbling, grade-listed house, which has to be renovated in a strict three-month time frame.

On the renovation project Alan said: ‘The house is probably the worst one we’ve had to tackle! Well I don’t even think it was a house! But the transformation really was the best! What makes this one really special is that even though we’re getting better at DIY even when we saw the state of house at the beginning – my heart genuinely sunk – but the transformation was mind-blowing.

‘Out of all the renovations we’ve done, even though Greece is geographically further away from us I felt they were so like us Brits, they love to party, they love their family, and they have a sense of humour! All the builders had a sense of humour too! The Greek like to drink, they’re friendly, they like to laugh and they had a sparkle in their eye.’

Amanda & Alan’s Greek Job is made by Voltage TV Productions. Watch on iPlayer or BBC One from 9:35 pm on Friday 2nd January.
