What Not to Wear to continue run

Trinny and Susannah are working for ITV

The BBC is to bring back fashion show What Not to Wear, but without original presenters Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine who have defected to ITV.

The corporation is still searching for replacement presenters but denies it approached the team which fronts the US version of the show.

The programme sees people clueless about fashion given blunt advice on how to dress well.

Woodall and Constantine are working on a fashion-related series for ITV.

No details have yet been given about their future project but there are suggestions it could begin in the autumn.

The pair began working together at ITV 10 years ago, before joining the BBC to front What Not to Wear, which they presented for five series.

On their move back to ITV, they said that it was time for a change and "fresh challenges".

In the US the show is presented by experts Stacy London and Clinton Kelly and follows the same principles of tackling an unsuspecting woman about her fashion sense.
