Kiell Smith Bynoe (off of Ghosts and he was on the Sewing Bee Christmas special) is the new host for the next Christmas special and series! It looks like it might just be whilst Sara's on maternity leave, I think he's great so i'm pretty chuffed with this news
Im a bit sad at this news. He was on taskmaster a couple of series ago, and seemed to have a weird sense of humour, which is nothing like mine!
They often seem to go for 'wacky' comedians to present these shows, when in reality they need someone professional who can support the contestants and fill in the gaps. My favourite Sewing Bee presenters, have been Claudia and Sara Cox. Neither of them are comedians at all. Just decent presenters.
Was Kiel good at sewing on the Christmas special? or does he have an interest in making his own clothes? Is this why he has been chosen?
