| Celebrity Money for Nothing | |
Money for Nothing is a British consumer television series, hosted on a rotational basis by Sarah Moore, Jacqui Joseph and JJ Chalmers, and formerly by Jay Blades and EJ Osborne. It airs on BBC One. [1] [2] Earlier series are available for viewing on Netflix. [3]
The premise of the programme is to take items that other people are disposing of and which the presenter rescues from council refuse collection sites. With the help of a designer they are turned into desirable items, which are then sold. Any profit made is then returned to the individual(s) who disposed of the item originally. A voiceover narration is provided by comedian and writer Arthur Smith. Celebrity Money for Nothing was a related programme, which only lasted one series. [4]
Regular designers and craftspeople include: Norman Wilkinson, Rupert Blanchard, Forge Creative (Josh Kennard & Oliver "Oli" Milne), Sarah Peterson, bag designer Neil Wragg, Lighting Expert Duncan McKean of Albert & Edward, Ray Clarke, Daniel Heath, Mark 'Horse' Philips, Bex Simon, The Rag and Bone Man, Guy Trench, Simion Dallas Hawtin-Smith and Bruce Faulseit.
Jacqui Joseph joined the presenting team from series 9, [5] with JJ Chalmers joining a series later. [6] Jay Blades first appeared as one of the designer experts for the first two series before becoming a presenter from Series 3 onwards. In 2021, due to other TV commitments ( The Repair Shop , Jay and Dom's Home Fix), Blades ceased to host the programme.[ citation needed ] EJ Osborne joined the presenting team during series 4, but left during series 7 due to illness. He died on 22 September 2020 at Dorothy House Hospice following months of chemotherapy. [7]
