A mum who spent £250,000 on a derelict baronial castle is to star in a TV show on its transformation into a top wedding venue. Nicole Rudder bought her dream project – dilapidated Garrion Tower, in Lanarkshire – in secret and is now working on £5million plans to restore the relic.
As revealed by the Sunday Mail, the 32-year-old, who owns non-fault car accident firm G4 Claims, was sent the listing for the tower as a joke by a friend but fell in love with it. A film crew will track Nicole’s renovation project, which will see the building transformed into a luxury five-star wedding venue.
She said: “I’m sworn to secrecy at the moment but I’m so excited everyone will be able to watch on TV as we work to restore this grand building. “Viewers will see us really get to work restoring the place and go through all the challenges we will no doubt face along the way.
