Hosted by Jonathan and Drew Scott, Season 10 of CELEBRITY IOU will be memorable, highlighting emotional moments as celebrities give back to special people in their lives.
“Every episode of CELEBRITY IOU is a tear-jerker,” Jonathan said about the upcoming season. “For me and Drew, it’s such a positive, heartwarming experience to give back to people who are so deserving and to know that these renovations really do change lives.”
“In terms of gratitude, we also hope that the show inspired those watching at home to give back in their own lives,” Drew added. “Not everyone can renovate a home, but there are small ways to make a meaningful impact in the lives of the people you love.”
The new season will feature stars including Tyra Banks, Josh Gad, Joel McHale, Jane Seymour, Shaun White and Rachel Brosnahan. The first episode — which will feature Brosnahan — will release on HGTV on July 9. Previous celebrities that have appeared on the show include Jay Leno, Regina Hall and Sterling K. Brown. Brown’s episode was Drew’s favorite from Season 7; he renovated his former nanny’s home.
“To see that she was struggling — she has her four kids, plus her grandchild, but she was told by the city, by the courts, that she’s not allowed to adopt her grandchild until she has a house that will fit the family for them all to live in,” Drew explained. “She was searching and searching with how expensive [Los Angeles] is, and she just couldn’t afford [anything], so she finally found a home, but she spent every penny on getting the place, and she wasn’t able to actually renovate it.”

More than only helping others change the lives of their loved ones, the Scotts also regularly renovate and transform the homes of those important in their lives. Last fall, they renovated their parents home as they moved from the Canadian Rocky Mountains to LA to be closer to their sons.
“We wanted our parents to feel just as much at home here as they did at their ranch in the Canadian Rocky Mountains,” the brothers wrote in the September/October edition of HGTV Magazine. “So, we tailored the home perfectly to them.”
Meanwhile, Jonathan Scott announced he will help rebuild his fiancée, Zooey Deschanel’s, childhood home after it was destroyed in the Palisade fire last winter.
While celebrities can often become focused on their fame and forget about the needs and desires of those around them, it is amazing to see the Scott brothers encourage superstars to give back to those who made them who they are today.
