For the upcoming season of the beloved BBC program, “The Great British Sewing Bee,” it has been revealed that a new host will be joining the team.
As a gaming enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that the hilarious comedian, author, and actress Sophie Willan is stepping into the world of sewing competitions for the upcoming series!
