Hello and Happy New Year!
I do hope you had a good festive season? Mine was wonderful – I was working at QVC over most of the Christmas holiday but I did get to Bristol for a quick visit to see my family, which was pure joy after not being able to last year. Then I was off at New Year and spent it dancing and drinking cocktails (too many cocktails!) with friends.
I will be back at QVC this Thursday 6th January and wanted to let you know that I have a fashion sale show on QVC Style and a 6pm Kelly Hoppen Sale show. I love Kelly’s range, so always good to get a bargain!
Then on Saturday and Sunday, I will be hosting shows with Michael Perry, as QVC gardening gets back into full swing for the new season. I am really looking forward to be working with Michael again – we always have really busy and fun shows and his endless knowledge of gardening never fails to amaze me!
Then away from QVC, this Friday marks the beginning of a new journey for me as I join the team of property experts of Channels 4’s ‘A Place in the Sun’. After secretly filming in Spain, France and Barbados over the late summer and autumn of last year, the episodes will start to go out and hopefully bring some much needed sunshine into our lives over these gloomy months. As you can imagine, I am so excited to be working on this show. I have been watching it for years and as someone who has always loved travel and renovated several properties myself, it’s the dream project to be working on! Don’t worry though, I will be remaining part of the QVC family.
In my first espisode, I will be househunting with newlyweds Gabriel and Alison for a holiday home in Denia; I’ve shared a couple of ‘behind the scenes’ photos and an instagram reel of the moment we finished filming on the Denial harbour.
The show airs at 3pm Friday 7th January on Channel 4 or you can watch it after it airs on the All 4 catch up service online – hope you enjoy it!
So, that’s it for my first blog this year – wishing you all the best for 2022 and as always, sending big hugs,
Craig xx

Flipping heck! It’s Craig Rowe!!! 🙂 Just saw you on QVC. How is my BFF from school? I haven’t seen you for about 30 years but you haven’t changed one bit!!!!!! Take care (and glad you, too, haven’t lost your Bristol twang!)
Well done Craig just watched Place in sun you did very well and obviously enjoyed the time. As always very good at description as you are on qvc. Keep up the good work best wishes .
Hi Craig
Happy new year. I love watching you on QVC. Your infectious smile and laugh really shines through to the person
you are. This afternoon I was pottering around doing odd jobs and had the TV on. I thought I recognised the voice but thought ‘no way’. However after watching tv it certainly was you! Needless to say the jobs were put on hold! What a great job you did. Congratulations. I hope you continue with the program but please don’t leave QVC. All the best to you.

Congratulations Craig! I’ve just been watching you on A Place in The Sun and was so worried you’d left QVC for good. Loved the programme, but QVC wouldn’t be the same without you. Have a great New Year!

Wow! that’s going to be real fun for you presenting A Place in the Sun, I’ll make sure I tune into that on a Friday afternoon, I’m sure I’ll be jealous seeing all that lovely sun. I hope you get lots of buyers but with your persuasive charm I’m sure you will. Good luck Craig but don’t forget your ‘Q’ family as well.
