Ever since he appeared on the popular BBC program Trading Spaces where he worked as a carpenter, Ty Pennington, the host of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, stole many people’s hearts. Extremely skillful and smoking hot, it didn’t come as a surprise that Ty was soon offered to host one of the best shows designed to help people in need.

Hosting the show put Ty in the spotlight, but being on the set took its toll. He could barely find the time for his private life.

“I didn’t see family or a girlfriend for 10 years. I would come home to do laundry and go out again,” he told The Atlanta Constitution in 2019.

“When I saw people from the old TV show, they said ’My God! You look amazing!’ I got some sleep! I would imagine I look a lot better than when I was on the show.”
