NEW YORK (AP) — Paige Davis is moving back to TLC's "Trading Spaces".

The Broadway actress and TV host will return to the once-popular home makeover series beginning in January, the network said in a statement yesterday.

In 2005, TLC announced Davis would no longer host "Trading Spaces" and transitioned the series to a host-less format.

Davis had perkily hosted the show, which features neighbours swapping homes and redecorating a room, since 2001. Besides "Trading Spaces," she's also appeared on Broadway in the musicals "Beauty and the Beast" and "Chicago".

The series was formerly produced by Philadelphia-based Banyan Productions.

The new season begins shooting this month and will be filmed entirely in high-definition.
