Steph McGovern is set to the return to the BBC.
The 43-year-old TV presenter joined Channel 4 back in 2020, but Steph is returning to her former employer in order to host a new show called The Big Deal.
Looking forward to the show, Steph told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "While lots of people are happy to splash out on theatre tickets, music festivals or holidays abroad, spending time and money looking at or buying art can feel a bit more intimidating. This show dispels the myth that the art world is exclusive.
"I’m buzzing for you to see how our dealers, from all walks of life, get on when we take them into the heart of the art market, and along all the arteries that stem from it, with the ultimate aim of making money."
The six-part BBC Arts series is set to air on BBC2. The overarching ambition behind the show is to help demystify the global art market.
BBC Arts boss Suzy Klein said: "This series pulls back the curtain on one of the most fascinating but mysterious industries in the UK - the art market.
"Offering a fresh insight into how art is discovered, bought, and sold, The Big Deal with Steph McGovern is a brilliant example of how BBC Arts can demystify the creative industries and inspire the next generation of art-lovers and collectors, while having fun along the way."
Steph previously teased the new show back in August, when she took to social media to share her career plans.
The TV star wrote on Instagram at the time: "Big work news. I can’t tell you the specifics yet. But it involves hosting 3 shows all out in the next 12 months…
"1) A brand new series on BBC One daytime (Not a magazine/chat show).
"2) A brand series on BBC Two evenings (Still not a magazine/chat show).
"3) A longstanding TV programme that’s been going nearly as long as I have been alive.
"I AM ABSOLUTELY BUZZING!!! (sic)"
