On 1 July 2016, the BBC announced that Alexander had stepped down from her role on "Homes Under the Hammer" after 13 years, though Alexander later clarified that she would continue to appear on the series for "at least another few years", owing to the manner in which the series is filmed. On 30 March 2017, BBC Scotland's Martel Maxwell was revealed as the new host replacing Alexander during the 21st series of the show and it was announced she would appear on screen from June.
