Aussie style guru heads judging panel for new reno show
My Reno Rules, hosted by Dr Chris Brown, will see four teams of Aussie battlers go head-to-head in the competition to transform two neighbouring rundown houses in Melbourne in a bid to win life-changing prize money.
Judging the renovated homes will be style icon Neale Whitaker, top buyer's agent Simon Cohen and interiors expert Julia Green.
With a wealth of experience in lifestyle magazines and interior design, Whitaker is one of Australia's leading style authorities and has been a regular on Aussie TV for more than 15 years.
Known for his roles on The Block and Love It Or List It Australia, his expertise stems from a successful publishing career that saw him helm Aussie style bibles Belle and Vogue Living for more than a decade.
Whitaker said he was thrilled to be joining a show that will 'truly redefine renovation TV'.
Along with Simon and Julia, I get to share my experience with a new generation of Aussie renovators in one of my favourite cities,' he said.
'I can't wait to see the creative and innovative ideas our teams bring to the competition.'
Go-to buyer's agent Cohen is set to guide the teams through their renovation plans to ensure their properties reach the height of style, elegance and technology.
'I'm excited to be part of a show that's redefining the renovation genre and transforming lives in the process,' he said.
Julia Green, founder of Greenhouse Interiors, will also join the judging panel.
As a regular contributor to leading Australian and international interiors and lifestyle publications, Green has an eye for interior trends and a passion for treasures that will transform any home.
Green said she was also thrilled to be part of the show that 'puts such a fresh spin on home renovation'.
'I can't wait to see the creativity, surprises, and heart our contestants will pour into bringing these incredible homes to life,' she said.
Not only do the contestants walk-away with a prize, but two lucky Australians receive a life-changing call.
They will be told they've both won a spectacularly renovated, multi-million-dollar home that's fully-furnished, landscaped and equipped with state-of-the-art technology.
My Reno Rules will screen on Seven and 7plus in 2026.

Matt Wright trial: Pilot's alleged spray at boss over stormy weather egg collection request
A young pilot told the Outback Wrangler to 'get f--ked, get vaccinated and go fly his own helicopter' after his boss chewed him out for pulling out of an unsafe mission. Sebastian Robinson on Friday finished giving evidence after being grilled over four days in the trial of Aussie reality television star, Matt Wright. The Apple TV and Netflix star has pleaded not guilty to three counts of attempting to pervert the course of justice during the investigation into a chopper crash that killed his co-star Chris 'Willow' Wilson. It is not alleged Mr Wright is responsible for the crash. On Friday the Northern Territory jury heard about the 'Australia Day incident' where the 28-year-old pilot and Mr Wright had a fight a month before the fatal crash. Mr Robinson said on January 26, he, Mr Wilson and fellow pilot Michael Burbidge were contracted for a crocodile egg collecting mission at the mouth of the Daly River, in the NT. The jury was shown photos of the chopper with an oncoming Wet Season storm looming in the background. Mr Robinson said he radioed Mr Burbidge to say 'it was too dangerous to continue, because the storm was huge', and they mutually agreed to head back into town. He said they went back to the Noonamah Tavern to watch the traditional Australia Day 'ute run' and have a 'beer and a feed'. Mr Robinson said Mr Wright called him 'very hostile and abusive', telling the young pilot 'What the f--k are youse doing back? Egg collecting's not meant to be f—king easy'. 'You sit out there, you f--king ... you wait the weather out. You f--king deal with it,' Mr Wright allegedly said. The jury has previously heard Mr Wright was not able to take part in egg collecting missions in early 2022 because he was an 'anti-vaxxer'. 'I told him to get f--ked, get vaccinated and fly his own helicopter,' Mr Robinson said on Friday. In a group chat with Mr Burbidge and Mr Wilson, the young pilot alleged Mr Wright 'called us all bludgers' for pulling out of the dangerous conditions. The young pilot this contributed to his decision to leave Mr Wright's Helibrook, and he establishing his own company Arnhem Helicopters. Mr Wright sent Mr Robinson a message the next day saying he was 'sorry for blowing up'. The trial continues on Monday.
