What to expect from Secret Celebrity Renovation Season 2 Episode 3?

This week's episode of Secret Celebrity Renovation will feature Nathan, along with Rob Mariano and Sabrina Soto, giving a makeover to the Salt Lake City Sports Complex, which includes adding a new figure skating lounge area and changing room for the young trainees. It is extremely special for the Olympian as he learned to skate in the building with the help of his mother.

Chen will also share his journey of being a skater. Nathan's mother will share details about how she trained Nathan by acting as a private coach when she could not afford a professional teacher. The mother-son duo further shares their financial troubles as American immigrants.

The episode description reads,

"Olympic gold medallist ice skater Nathan Chen gifts his hometown's Salt Lake City Sports Complex a brand-new figure skater lounge area and changing room; Nathan surprises the community that impacted his life by dedicating the renovation to them."

Nathan and Mariano will skate and play hockey together. Chen further shares in a promo that he played hockey as a child after being influenced by his brothers.

Speaking about the Secret Celebrity Renovation renovations, Nathan said in a promo,

"More than highlighting me, at this point in time it's about seeing all of the people, highlighting all of the people that have helped me. I am hoping that the episode is able to show that and kind of just really emphasize all the people that have helped me along my way."

Secret Celebrity Renovation cast member Mariano believes that Nathan decided to "do something special for his community" in honor of his mother and his connection to the community.
