RTÉ’s Celebrity Home of the Year returns to our screens this year with five familiar faces on board, as Irish celebrities open their doors to the nation in a bid to win a cash prize for their chosen charity. This one off special features five celebrities -retired Leinster and Ireland rugby player Mike Ross, TV and radio presenter Eoghan Mc Dermott, writer Melissa Hill, broadcaster Lorraine Keane and Senator David Norris. The show features a broad range of spectacular homes- including a former gate lodge, a period home, a semi detached and a re-imagined bungalow. One thing all our celebrities have in common is a love for their home, their design skills, and a passionate connection to their home. Each celebrity throws open the door of their homes to the judges, revealing more about their personality, style, and how their homes reflect their lives. But while they may have stunning homes, they won’t have an easy ride, with our three expert judges casting a critical eye over the homes. Design legend Hugh Wallace and renowned interior designer Deirdre Whelan are joined this year by new judge, award winning architect Patrick Bradley. Patrick gained attention when his shipping container home appeared on Channel 4’s Grand Designs. His home has gone on to win several awards and has appeared in newspaper articles all over the world. Looking for individuality, functionality and clever design, the judges will be pulling no punches as they critique the homes. With judges individually scoring each home out of ten, the home with the highest combined score will be crowned the winner. As well as being crowned Celebrity Home of the Year, the winner will receive a €5,000 prize to donate to their chosen charity.
