The 62-year-old TV star has presented the Channel 4 show alone for the past 21 years but when it returns to screens next year, Kevin will be joined by architect Natasha Huq, who runs her own practice in Edinburgh, according to the Daily Mirror newspaper.
Two new six-part series next year will follow the UK’s largest mass self-build site at Graven Hill in Oxfordshire, along with featuring a number of new projects in Glasgow.
Kevin said: “We witnessed the very beginnings of the Graven Hill site in the first series of The Street and it was an honour to spend time alongside our 10 plucky guinea pigs.
“Now we’re back to follow more projects as Britain’s largest self-build community really gets going.
“I’m also excited to be able to look at other pilot projects such as Glasgow in this series.
“Self-build and custom-build are here to stay and at this rate they’re going to make a big contribution to Britain’s housing supply.”
Commissioning editor Ian Dunkley said: “Both new series will capture the spirit of community that these incredible self-build streets engender, as the determination, resilience and ambition of the builders shines through to create something extraordinary.”
