Johanna Griggs is letting Better Homes And Gardens viewers into her private oasis for the show’s annual Christmas festivities, airing this week.

‘Each year on Better Homes And Gardens, we try to host Christmas at one of the presenters’ homes,' the 42-year-old tells New Idea.

Sam and Sasha's surprise engagement

‘We figure we are welcomed into people’s homes and gardens all year round, so it’s nice to let people see a window into our own spaces.’

Self-confessed entertainers, Joh admits she and husband Todd Huggins, 42, ‘love to entertain and I love to cook!’ – so it was a pleasure to host her co-stars for the televised special.

With two new additions to the Better Homes family this year – 2014 House Rules winner Adam Dovile and former Home And Away star Demi Harman – it was a full house as the nine-strong group sat down together for an early Christmas feast.

‘I think we are as happy as we’ve ever been. The show has really evolved this year. We feel like the actual product is better than it’s ever been,' she says.
