🎉 Rugby referee Luke Pearce is trading his whistle for a hard hat in the latest season of BBC’s DIY SOS! Known for his swift calls on the rugby field, Luke is now calling on his community spirit, joining forces with Nick Knowles and an army of volunteers to transform lives by renovating homes for those in need.


For those who haven’t caught the series, DIY SOS is all about lending a helping hand to families facing tough times—completing massive home makeovers in just days with the help of donated supplies and skilled volunteers. 🏠✨ This season, one special makeover took place in Swansea, with stories straight out of a drama. Dan and Anna, rocked by a freak accident, had their lives turned upside down. But thanks to the show, they’re getting a chance at a fresh start. 💪
Posting about his experience, Luke shared how humbling the work has been: “A joy to see Nick Knowles and DIY SOS in action, with hundreds of volunteers all working to help a great cause.” The rugby community is resonating with pride, showering him with comments like “Legend” and “Da iawn, Luke.”

And it doesn’t stop there for Pearce! He’s all set to keep the excitement rolling with officiating duties this November—having just wrapped up Georgia v USA, and stepping in as assistant referee for the upcoming Scotland v Argentina match. He’ll cap off the autumn action with France facing Australia next weekend. 🏉
Nick Knowles is equally thrilled about the show’s return, saying, “Excited to have DIY SOS back on screens—showcasing the generosity that makes a real difference.”
Kudos to Luke Pearce for showing that true sportsmanship isn’t just about the game, but the heart you bring to everything you do! 👏🌟 #DIYSOS #LukePearce #RugbyMagic #CommunityHero
