CHRISTMAS CRAFT-OFF: SARA DAVIES SET TO HOST NEW ITV DAYTIME SERIES

ITV are developing a new daytime series to be presented by Dragons' Den star Sara Davies, who has one big passion in her life - crafting. So much so that she has built an entire career around it.

Nothing makes her happier than showing the uninitiated how to make a pom pom from a ball of wool, turn a mayonnaise jar into a beautiful, candle lit centrepiece or how to create an eye-catching wall decoration out of a rope… Especially at Christmas.

The series, not yet commissioned by the broadcaster, gives three celebrities the chance to be taught by Sara how to turn a room into the perfect festive experience. The catch? The room they are decorating is in a stately home preparing for an important, upcoming Christmas event.

But Sara’s standards are high and only the very best decorations will make it into the room. So all three celebrities are in competition with each other to make sure their decorations win a coveted place in the festive room for all to see.'

Meanwhile, Sara Davies has been announced as host of new ITV daytime quiz Time Is Money. Co-produced by South Shore and Plegazoid, the show offers a unique twist: contestants begin with their prize money already on the line and must race against the clock to keep it. If they fail to answer correctly, their cash prize slips away.

Time Is Money will keep viewers hooked with its unpredictable twists and drama. The final player remaining will take home everything they’ve managed to save — making every decision a potential game-changer.

More details on both titles will be announced in due course.
