Extreme Makeover: Home Edition likely doesn’t dominate in the tween ratings demographic, but that should all change on Sunday, Jan. 30.
Justin Bieber will be the show’s celebrity guest star that day, as the Extreme Makeover team helps the Brown family from Wellman, Tex.
The Browns are still recovering from the loss of their teenage daughter, Alex, who died in a texting-while-driving accident. Parents Jeanne and Johnny Mac, along with their 12-year-old daughter, Katrina, are now making it their mission to prevent others from the same fate.
Celebrity volunteers including Bieber, actress Emma Roberts, and NASCAR racers Carl Edwards and Greg Biffle, all sign the B.U.S.T. (or Buckle Up and Stop Texting) pledge in the episode, promising not to text while driving.
Bieber, who also performs in the episode, recently gave a shout-out to Katrina on Twitter.
“Nope i didnt forget about u. Everyone follow Katrina. met her on EXTREME HOME MAKEOVER. she is an incredibly strong person.”
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition airs Sundays, 8 p.m. ET, Citytv/ABC.
