Charlotte Church has announced the return of Dream Build. The property series, which follows the Welsh singer as she transforms the former home of fashion designer Laura Ashley into a retreat, first aired in January 2022.
The Really and Discovery+ programme saw Charlotte put her "life savings" into the mansion which sits in the Elan Valley in mid-Wales. The star is renovating the house in order to turn it into a wellbeing and health retreat and has so far documented her journey on screen.
In a new update, Charlotte revealed that she and her team were "so close" to finishing the project as she announced the return of Dream Build. Sharing the news on Instagram, the mum-of-three said it has been a "hell of a ride" so far as she confirmed the second series.

She said: "Hi guys, I'm Charlotte Church and I am so excited to share with you the second series of Dream Build, which is my project in mid-Wales where I'm turning a beautiful old house, that used to belong to Laura Ashely, into a retreat centre.
"We are so close to finishing and it's been one hell of a ride. So I can't wait to share that with you and have your feedback and see what you think.
"So make sure you are tuned into Really and Discovery+ so that you can keep on top of all the updates but it's coming very, very soon. I can't wait for you to see the journey."
The first series saw Charlotte's raw and honest account of the renovation process. Reflecting on her journey in the final episode of the first season, Charlotte said: "The start of this project - the naivety, the hope, the dreams that I had at the beginning just seem very... um, I feel a lot older and I feel a bit more jaded, just because I do feel like it's taken a lot out of me and I am really learning at a rate of knots.
"I do feel like it's been a slog, it hasn't all been fairies and daisies and woodland walks, I think it's been a bit of a slog for me."
She added: "We are creating something really special here with some really amazing people and whether we like it or not, it is a healing journey already and sometimes it's very challenging and it's confrontational but it's also a complete privilege."
When the series ended there was still much to do inside and out, including planning and construction of the woodland log cabins, the staircase construction and installation, and of course, the vital planning permission for change of use for the main house.
