Channel Five is looking for talented amateur interior designers to take part in a new prime-time series of five one-hour programmes.

It will end up with the winner being presented with a cheque for £20,000 to help start up an interior design/house doctoring business.

First off, Californian interior designer Ann Maurice will select 40 candidates from the entries to go through an initial training programme.

The deadline for applications is the end of January.

Details of the competition and an application form can be found on www.five.tv/wanttobeontv.
