The eight-part series will pit 11 experienced and passionate hairstylists against each other to showcase their creative talent in a series of extravagant and dramatic hair challenges. 

Each episode will follow the stylists as they take part in two creative challenges that will push them to the limit. 

For the first challenge they will need to impress real clients with specific styling demands against the clock, before letting their imagination run wild to produce sensational, gravity-defying creations in the ‘Masterpiece’ challenge.

As well as wowing the clients the stylists will need to thrill iconic hairdressers Sam McKnight and Lisa Farrall, plus a special guest judge each week. 

After the tasks, the judges will decide who will go home and who will fight for the chance to be named The Big Blow Out champion.

AJ Odudu commented: “You would not believe how excited I am to be hosting The Big Blow Out. It’s full of drama, dedication, excitement and most importantly, creative hairstyles on all hair types that will be sure to blow your socks off. I’m looking forward to meeting the contestants and seeing what they come up with. Ready, set, style!”

The Big Blow Out will air on E4 and All 4 later this year.
