Jill Halfpenny has had her Tynemouth home 'transformed' as she became the unlikely star of popular BBC show Your Home Made Perfect this week.
On the same day that the return of Byker Grove, the shot that originally shot her to TV fame, was announced by her former co-stars Ant and Dec, Geordie actress Jill appeared on the home improvement programme, alongside 13-year-old son Harvey, as millions of viewers tuned in.
Jill explained to BBC host Angela Scanlon, that she had decided to move back to home turf, but there were two major issues with the two floor property she made her new home - the kitchen was on a different level to the dining room, and the bathroom had no windows., with Jill saying: 2To me, the configuration is all out of whack. It doesn't flow properly."
