The Bachelorette’s Jillian Harris will help Ty Pennington and his crew build a home for a deserving family on a to-be-aired edition of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. The interior designer is currently filming a special appearance which sees her lending her talents to Brian and Audra Skaggs. The Skaggs’ son, Jhett, received a heart transplant when he was 10-months-old. Now 2, Jhett is in danger due to the condition of his family’s moldy and rotting home.
“People know Jillian as a great personality, but they may not realize that she’s an incredible designer, too,” says Extreme Makeover producer Anthony Dominici.
Jillian, 28, got engaged to Ed Swiderski on The Bachelorette last July. In a statement Thursday, she said she is “thrilled to have the opportunity to work with such an amazing team.”
“I really feel like the world needs a lot of love right now and to be a part of this and see others give their time and love so generously, it is truly inspiring,” she added.
