“One of the things we love most about Celebrity IOU is that it proves that special people can turn into your family,” said Jonathan. “It’s amazing to see celebrities open up to us about their exceptional friends who have made a huge impact in their lives.”
“Jonathan and I started this series with a simple idea – that nobody gets anywhere in life alone,” said Drew. “We’re grateful that so many household names have trusted us to be part of these personal acts of kindness and help give back to the people they value most.”
To kick off the new episodes, Cindy Crawford will show appreciation to Sarah, her best friend and personal trainer of more than 15 years, by gifting her a major renovation of her family’s first home featuring a luxurious kitchen, living area, and guest bathroom. The season will promise additional breathtaking transformations as the celebrities roll up their sleeves with Drew and Jonathan, including a modern southwestern-style main floor overhaul, an underused garage turned multi-function personal retreat and guest suite, and a dream backyard that boasts a professional-grade outdoor gym.
