Barry Du Bois (born 4 August 1960) is an Australian designer, building expert and TV personality on Network Ten. Du Bois first appeared on reality renovation show The Renovators as a building mentor and judge. Currently Du Bois is co-host and design/building expert on lifestyle program The Living Room.

Education

Du Bois attended Chipping Norton Public School and completed Year 10 at Liverpool Boys High School where he excelled at all sports.

Career

In 1976 Du Bois began an apprenticeship in carpentry and joinery, and gained a building certificate in 1980. He was mentored by architects and started to design and build homes as a speculative builder in 1979.[1] Du Bois ran a successful design, building and property development business until retirement in 2005. During that time he served a term as President of the Master Builders Association NSW Eastern Suburbs and acted as an expert building witness for NSW courts and the Department Fair Trading tribunal.[2]

In 2011, Du Bois hosted TEN's renovation reality series, The Renovators.[3]

In 2012, Du Bois joined lifestyle program The Living Room on Network Ten,[4] alongside Amanda Keller, Chris Brown and Miguel Maestre. Heading up the renovations team, Du Bois assists home-owners in need of some expert help.[5]

Du Bois was nominated to the Board of RUOK? Day.[6] He is also a passionate advocator for the Cancer Council Australia[7] and a firm believer in environmental sustainability.[8]

In May 2018, Du Bois and Miguel Maestre released an autobiographical book called Life Force about Du Bois's family, friendships, living with cancer and includes nutritional advice and recipes by Maestre.[9][10][11]

Personal life

Du Bois was born in Sydney, in the suburb of Liverpool, and is now living in the suburb of Bondi.

Du Bois met his Australian partner Leonie Carol Tobler in Bondi in 1992. They married in 1999 and their twins, a son and daughter, were born on 1 June 2012.[3]

Du Bois was diagnosed with plasmacytoma, a cancer of the immune system, in 2010. He underwent successful therapy, but the cancer had already destroyed the vertebrae at the top of his spine. He received a titanium implant in his spine.[12] In 2017, Du Bois announced that the cancer had returned as multiple myeloma.[13]

Du Bois was away for cancer treatment from February to March 2018 from The Living Room. Grant Denyer has been a stand-in co-host for him.
