Carol Smillie doesn't think Changing Rooms revival could live up to the original

Carol Smillie is worried a \'Changing Rooms\' revival couldn\'t live up to the original series.

The 58-year-old star - who hosted the DIY show from 1996 to 2003 - admitted she is cautious about the idea of the hit programme making a return because she isn\'t sure if nostalgia would be enough to make it a success.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper\'s Bizarre TV column, she explained: "It\'s like trying to recreate the best night out you\'ve ever had -- it\'s never going to be the best night out again.

"Audiences nowadays are far more savvy. When a TV voiceover said, \'I don\'t know if we\'re going to be able to do this\', you believed them then."

The programme - which originally aired on BBC - looks set for a potential comeback and a new home on Channel 4, with bosses said to be keen to bring back Carol and 55-year-old interior designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.

And despite her reservations, Carol - who is yet to be contacted by the broadcaster - would love to be reunited with the old team.

She added: "I\'d love it because I would be able to see all the people again, which is what it was about for me: The team -- not just on camera, but off camera too.

"I\'ve had a long chat with Linda [Baker], who has got in touch."

Meanwhile, Laurence - who appeared from 2003 to 2004 - has played down the chances of him making a comeback because of his other projects around the world.

Regarding a potential revival, a Channel 4 spokeswoman recently confirmed the broadcaster was looking into the possibility, although "nothing" is set in stone just yet.
