Three Strictly stars will swap their dancing shoes for hard hats as they join the DIY SOS team on a build in North Tyneside next month.
The BBC prime time renovations show announced it will be coming to Wallsend in July to transform a derelict building for the True Colours Theatre. The charity is an inclusive theatre school for children and young people in the North East of England, many of whom have additional needs such as autism, ADHD, anxiety disorders, physical and life limiting conditions and various mental health issues.
It was founded by Alisar-Jane Taylor in 2014 after she was diagnosed with ADHD and autism as an adult, and when her niece Emily-Kate was diagnosed with a life-limiting condition as a toddler. Desperate to take Emily-Kate to dance classes, but finding a lack of fun and accessible groups, True Colours was born.
