What Not To Wear's new presenters Mica Paris and Lisa Butcher have proved a successful combination for the BBC, with the new format of the fashion-makeover show being recommissioned for a second series.
Butcher, a former model , and singer Paris have managed to attract an average audience of 4.4 million viewers and a 20% audience share on Thursday-nights, after replacing Trinny and Susanah who moved over to ITV.
Vicki Barrass and Tracy Jeune, executive producers for the programme, said: "We are delighted with the news of the recommission. It's always a risk to introduce new presenters to such a high-profile programme as this"
The last programme in the current run is on Thursday, October 26 at 8.00pm on BBC One.
