AMANDA & ALAN'S SPANISH JOB SET FOR CHRISTMAS SPECIALS IN 2025 ON BBC ONE
Amanda Holden and Alan Carr will be moving countries for their biggest project yet – they’re heading to the sunny south of Spain where they’ll take on a rambling, run down property in the province of Andalusia for the third series of their hugely popular series where they renovate ageing properties.
With many rural areas suffering from de-population, they’re hoping to remedy this and bring the tourists back by highlighting some unloved and forgotten areas around the Costa del Sol, in Amanda and Alan’s Spanish Job.
After the main series, it has been revealed Amanda and Alan will be back in Christmas 2025 for a festive special on BBC One. A source told The Sun newspaper: "The third series of their show was made in Andalusia, so it made sense to stay in the region to make the Christmas special, which takes place in Malaga. It will seem strange watching them in the Mediterranean sun next December when we are battling to stay warm and hoping for Christmas snow."
In the new series, challenging themselves with their biggest house yet to renovate, they’ll be learning new DIY skills, and once again pushing themselves out of their comfort zone as they try to turn their wreck of a house into something magic. This year their interiors style will echo all the region has to offer, as their design delves into the Moorish influences of bygone eras.
After the DIY, Amanda and Alan will of course throw themselves into the Spanish traditions. They’ll travel the breadth of Andalusia to discover the rich, varied landscape of the Sierra Nevada mountains, whitewashed coastal villages and historic Moorish towns.
Indulging in the local cuisine, joining in the summer festivals and getting to grips with the local traditions – they’ll be sipping on Sangria, dancing Flamenco and belting out their favourite tracks in the karaoke bar - welcome to Amanda and Alan’s Spanish Job!
Amanda Holden says: “It’s wonderful how often I’m stopped in the street and told how much people love our show. Alan and I have the best time filming it and to have reached series three already is beyond the dreams of our lockdown pitch to the BBC!..
"By day we love getting our hands dirty knocking down walls and lugging around power tools knowing we’ll be sipping on an ice-cold reward by night, forgetting the cameras are rolling! Bring on the Spanish sun, we can’t wait to get started and continue to help Comic Relief and Children In Need along the way.”
Alan Carr says: “It’s always exciting when a show you love gets recommissioned but the fact that we will be bringing our unique DIY expertise to a whole different country makes it even more special. We are saying ciao for now and Hola España! Can’t wait to grab our power tools and get our hard hats on and bring some much needed TLC to a casa in Spain!”
Amanda and Alan’s Spanish Job is an 8x30’ series for BBC One and iPlayer.
