ITV are looking for passionate homeowners to takepart in the new series of this fun
property show
Do you love showing your house off to friends and family? Have you spent months – maybe years – making your home look just right – or downright unique?
Do you love taking a nosey round other people’s houses?
This series is looking for all sorts of properties – from country cottages to stunning new build. We’re also on the lookout for homes with a quirky theme – maybe you’ve used an unusual design style or created a shrine to your favourite pop star or football team.
Over two days, four strangers take turns in giving each other a guided tour round their pride and joy. The most impressive home wins a £1,000 cash prize.
If you - or anyone you know - would like to take part then
please call ASAP and leave your name, address, age and contact details:
0113 222 7027
Or email: lucy.mans@shiver-productions.co.uk

The Llangwm Festival
