The Great Home Transformation: Mum who almost died from Covid breaks down as living room is given amazing revamp

A Swansea mum was reduced to floods of tears after her living room was renovated, removing painful memories of her battle with Covid. Mum Lombe and her husband Gregory and their two adult children all live together in their rented house in Swansea.

New Channel 4 home renovation programme, The Great Home Transformation, hosted by Nick Grimshaw and Emma Willis, transforms the homes of people whose houses just aren't working for them anymore. Now that the children have moved back in with their parents, the family home was beginning to feel very cramped.

Gregory works from home at one end of the open plan dining room/living room and is in constant conflict with his children who use the other end of the room when he is working. The living room also holds painful memories for all of the family and especially Lombe as she reveals she nearly died after collapsing on the sofa with breathing difficulties due to Covid.
