I-doll-atry! Christina Hall will star in a brand new HGTV series, taking on the Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge with her Christina on the Coast co-star James Bender. 

The new series will comprise "four nostalgia-filled episodes" and feature eight teams of HGTV superstars "as they transform a Southern California home into a real-life Barbie Dreamhouse" finishing up with one Barbie fan getting the once-in-a-lifetime stay in the home.

Alongside Christina and James will be Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson (Married to Real Estate); Jasmine Roth (Help! I Wrecked My House) and Antonia Lofaso (Beachside Brawl); Ty Pennington (Rock the Block) and Alison Victoria (Windy City Rehab); Jonathan Knight and Kristina Crestin (Farmhouse Fixer); Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas (Bargain Block); Brian and Mika Kleinschmidt (30 Day Dream Home); and Michel Smith Boyd and Anthony Elle Williams (Luxe for Less). 

Each team will be given a room and instructions to design with a specific Barbie era including "1960s atomic age kitchen, a ‘70s disco vibe for Ken’s Den and a main bedroom decked out in ‘80s glam".

The show's announcement comes ahead of the July 21 release of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling's new Barbie movie, about which very little is known.

The film's Wikipedia reads: "After being expelled from Barbieland for being a less than perfect-looking doll, Barbie sets off for the human world to find true happiness," while the press release adds: "To live in Barbie Land is to be a perfect being in a perfect place.  Unless you have a full-on existential crisis.  Or you’re a Ken."
