The second heat begins. Another group of amateur designers will compete across three knock-out rounds for one place in the quarter final. They are engineering manager Rob, DIY store worker Angelica, ex-visual merchandiser Sarah and textiles lecturer Lucy.

Sarah faces an uphill battle persuading her clients to trust her bold choice of floral wallpaper on all four walls of her country scheme. Meanwhile Lucy is taking a big risk bringing her modern design for a teenaged boy to this very traditional cottage.

In the last round of this heat, two designers are left battling it out for just one sought after place in the quarter final. They must earn their place by transforming two tiny bedrooms in medieval timber framed bedrooms in Sussex – still with a budget of £1000, a small team to help them and just...

They are sales assistant Jamie, art director Rache...
