Property expert, mortgage broker and investor Tayo Oguntonade is set to join Channel 4’s The Great House Giveaway as a new permanent co-host.
Oguntonade will be joining the team alongside returning presenter Simon O’Brien and S4C’s Carys Davies where they will help strangers who have never owned a home and are given money to buy a property at auction.
They are then given six months to redevelop the property with the end goal of selling on and splitting the profits. If they fail, the property goes back to auction.
Oguntonade said: “Helping to get people on the property ladder has been a passion of mine for a long time, one of which I’ve been doing throughout my career.
“I am so excited to be joining The Great House Giveaway team and getting to share my advice with not only the renovation new-comers on the show, but also the viewers at home!”
Tayo will make his first appearance in September with a special episode during Channel 4’s Black To Front project – an initiative that will air programmes fronted by black talent and featuring black contributors.
