Homes under the Hammer presenter Martin Roberts has launched his ‘riskiest ever venture’ after being hours from death when he had health problems last year. The popular TV star was struck down with serious complications after his heart became inflamed in a potentially lethal condition.
Mr Roberts said the experience had left him wanting to ‘give something back’ and in an interview with The Sun said he wanted to re-open a closed railway tunnel as a tourist attraction. BBC star Martin said the £15 million project will take two years in Rhondda Valley in South Wales.
He told The Sun: “It’s without doubt my riskiest ever venture. We are going into it at a time when around 20 pubs a week are closing, energy prices have gone through the roof and people have got less to spend to go out.
