9 You will never guess who is going on The Flip Off!
As Perezcious readers know, Josh Hall was set to appear on the HGTV competition series with his wife, Christina Haack, along with another couple, Christina’s first husband, Tarek El Moussa and his current wife Heather Rae El Moussa.
But then they broke up. And everything changed.

Things between the exes got nasty the second the divorce papers were filed, with Christina and Josh fighting over everything like spousal support, rights to her shows, and more. Given how contentious the split has been, there was no way Josh could work with the television personality! So he got the boot! An Us Weekly source said in July:
“They are in production of The Flip Off without Josh. They’re moving forward with the show without him.”
Ultimately, the decision was for the best! It would have a s**t show if the pair continued to work together amid the divorce process! But there was one big problem left to solve. With Josh gone, who would take his place? They couldn’t just have Tarek and Heather vs Christina for a competition show! That would be two against one! Hardly fair, right? Someone needed to fill Josh’s shoes.
Innerestingly, Christina teased one of her other ex-husbands could replace him instead over the summer — Ant Anstead. A fan first suggested the HIGHlarious change on Instagram, saying:
“How awesome would it be to have Ant replace Josh on The Flip Off? Ratings would go through the roof. If it happens, I need some credit. Lol.”
And you know what? Christina did not say no! She agreed, replying:
“LOL that would be a genius ‘ratings’ idea just sayin.”
Sounds like a must-watch, especially to see how they got along after their messy post-divorce relationship! However, while it might have been “good for ratings,” Christina later shut down the idea as she “can’t work with any more exes.” Not when she already has to work with Tarek…
But never say never! Because it looks like Christina changed her mind! She CAN work more than her exes! A source revealed to People on Thursday that Ant will appear on the show! OMG! They were even spotted filming together that same day in Los Angeles. Check it out (below):

Wow!
Did anyone ever expect to see these two on such good terms again, enough to film a TV show together? And we have to wonder: Does this mean Ant is the one replacing Josh? We hate to say it, but do not get your hopes up, Perezcious readers. While the host is filming for the show, the insider said that “he won’t be Christina’s partner.” Damn. Perhaps that will change? His exact role on The Flip Off is not yet known. HGTV also has not made any official announcements about his involvement yet.
If the network was smart, they would have Ant join the show as a regular for ratings gold! Just saying! It was a really good idea! We would love to see Christina and him hash out their past drama on camera while flipping homes! LOLz!
We’re keeping our fingers crossed that Ant becomes her official team member! What are YOUR thoughts, Perezcious readers? Do you want to see Ant replace Josh? Let us know in the comments below!
