The show challenges strangers to renovate a property bought at auction within a set budget and in just six months.

Presenter Simon O’Brien gave Sami Fretwell and Lennon Boyle three houses to choose from before they went ahead and put in a bid on the three-bedroom end of the terraced property.

The house in St Helens was bought by Sami, who is a painter and decorator, and her teammate Lennon needed a lot of work, but Sami said she felt excited by the mammoth project.

She says: "We knew we had the budget, and I knew that things were going to get done. There wasn't anything when I walked in that scared me. It was more excitement, to be honest.

“I had a vision straight away when I walked in, like the kitchen wall, I knew that had to come down. I really wanted to tear walls down and things like that. There were some damp issues in the property that we dealt with and again, it was like, we've got people into the locker system. They told us it wasn't anything major and we dealt with it.”

Through Sami’s experience as a painter and decorator, she was able to transform the rundown house into the perfect family home.

And thanks to her time on the show, Sami says she has managed to improve her skills and grow her confidence to offer new products to her customers.

She said: “Since doing the show, I’ve put myself onto a plastering course. I bought myself new up-to-date tools. I'm more confident now to do that kind of thing if I need to. I've done whole walls; I've done some patch plastering.”
