(NewsNation) — Brooke Hogan is making a return to TV months after her father, Hulk Hogan, passed away.
HGTV tapped Brooke Hogan for season 7 of its renovation competition series “Rock the Block.”
The upcoming season will show celebrities paired with designing pros, “competing to add the most value to their properties, each team will have just six weeks and a budget of $275,000 to transform the identical cul-de-sac builds boasting one-level living with private courtyards, multi-generational suites and RV garages into luxurious Sin City homes that reflect their signature vision and stunning design style,” according to an HGTV description.
Brooke Hogan has a design business
The “Brooke Knows Best” star, who will be paired with “Renovation Resort Showdown’s” Scott McGillivray, says she has a history with design.
“It was a weird call to get in a weird time in life,” Hogan told Entertainment Tonight. “I was estranged from my family. I had asked to be removed from my father’s will.”
“Filming money doesn’t last forever,” Brooke Hogan said, telling ET she had moved to Nashville at one point and worked as a waitress after leaving reality TV.
“No shame in my game. Money is money. And then I started my design business. I was doing okay, but it was hard to get started. I did it really, truly on my own. No startup money, no help from my parents.”
Hulk Hogan dies at 71
Hulk Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, died July 24 from a heart attack caused by a form of leukemia, according to a medical examiner’s report. He was 71.
Brooke Hogan did not attend her father’s funeral, saying she decided to celebrate him in another way.
“My father hated the morbidity of funerals. He didn’t want one,” she wrote on Instagram in August. “Daddy, we honored you in the simplest way that agreed with my soul. We took our babies to the beach and put them in the same salty waters you loved.”
