“Now Changing Rooms bosses have got three names in the running for the job.

“Each has their own unique style, but all of them would be great for the role.”

Stacey will apparently add a “real eye for design”, while Anna is another “seasoned presenter”.

Channel 4 failed to comment when approached by ED!.

Meanwhile, representatives for Stacey, Emma and Anna have been contacted for comment.

Why did Davina McCall quit Changing Rooms reboot?

Last month, reports revealed Davina was unable to commit to filming.

The star will prioritise her other work commitments including The Masked Singer.

Explaining her decision to leave, The Sun on Sunday claimed: “Davina was so excited to be part of the reboot but with the changing production schedule, it has become a nightmare.

“The lockdown and pandemic have played havoc with the schedule and sadly Davina has said she won’t be able to commit. It’s the last thing anyone wanted but she is so busy with other filming commitments.”

Furthermore, Channel 4 confirmed the reports were true at the time.
