Linda Barker

In 2013, Linda went on to take part in Splash!, ITV's celebrity diving show with Olympic diver, Tom Daley, as the mentor. She finished in 3rd place. In 2017, she presented The Home Game, a new daytime series for ITV.

Today Barker writes, publishes design books and writes a column for the weekend Daily Express magazine. In 2009, Barker joined the design team on the ITV daytime series 60 Minute Makeover.

In 2007 Barker took part in the children's CBBC show Hider in the House, as the hidden celebrity. Barker also appeared on a celebrity edition of Come Dine with Me, aired on 17 September 2008, alongside Peter Stringfellow, Michelle Heaton and Lee Ryan. Linda finished in joint first place with Ryan, both of whom scored 26 points.

Barker began her work in television as a set designer, where she met her husband. It was at this time she was one of the group of people (including Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen) approached by the BBC in 1996 to work on a television show called Changing Rooms as one of the designers. During this time Barker also started co-presenting House Invaders in 1999, and co-presented a three-part special called Planet Christmas in 2001. After six years of Changing Rooms, restricted by the BBC's position on commercial endorsement and disappointed to be overlooked as a replacement presenter to Carol Smillie, she agreed to leave Changing Rooms.

Linda Barker (born 26 October 1961) is an English interior designer and television presenter.
