Three Harrogate shops will feature in an episode of BBC One’s Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr next week.
The ‘Chatty Man’ was seen filming the programme outside Westmorland Sheepskins, in Harrogate, last summer.
The episode will showcase the transformation of three independent stores – Westmorland Sheepskins, Daniel Footwear and another women’s clothing store.
The 8-part programme follows 10 designers competing for a commercial interior design contract.
The contestants take on a new interior design challenge up and down the country each week, ranging from shops and restaurants, to beach huts and bars.

Each unit had a unique brief and design requirements, and the designers pitched their plans to the Harrogate shop owners, who decided their favourite idea and nominated a lead designer.
The designers had a budget of £3,000 and just two days to transform the allocated space.

Westmorland Sheepskins said:
“The cats out of the bag — you probably saw the front of our shop on this week’s episode.
“It was a new experience for us that we thoroughly enjoyed, and we cannot wait to see the final edit”.
The episode will air next Tuesday at 8pm on BBC One.
Sadly, Westmorland Sheepskins has announced the closure of its Harrogate store this week.
