George Clarke’s Flipping Fast will see six teams given £100,000 at the start of the process to spend on property, and after 12 months, the team who has made the most profit wins.

The winning team will receive an additional £100,000 investment to launch their own property company and will also be able to keep any profit they have made over the course of the show.

Throughout the series, the teams will have help and guidance from the property expert hosts.

As the groups use their cash injection to renovate properties, they will hope to add as much value as they can before putting them up for sale at the end of the show.

Who are the hosts of George Clarke’s Flipping Fast?

The pair previously hosted Worst House on the Street, where they helped cash-strapped homeowners renovate their property on a budget.

They also joined Channel 4’s Black to Front series, which showcased black TV talent - they replaced Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer to host a special episode of Love it or List it.

On Love it or List it, the siblings went head-to-head to help homeowners who were at their wits end with their property as they decided whether to go through with a renovation, or sell up.

Scarlette has also been a presenter on A Place in the Sun since 2015, helping to find holiday homes for house hunters.
