HOME SWEET HOME

TV PRESENTER Helen Skelton has helped a young couple create their dream home in the hope of returning to their roots in rural Wales.

Jess and Colin, originally from Powys, decided to move back to Wales after living in the hustle and bustle of London.

In the new programme, Forever Home, the couple's relationship suffered as a result of the pressure of the renovation.

Helen and architect Patrick Bradley helped to create the couple's dream house, swapping the excitement of city life for a more settled lifestyle.

The 59-minute pilot episode shows Jess and Colin facing the reality of a large-scale restoration project. Not only that, but they also need to navigate their life back in the Welsh countryside, after leaving their friends and busy London life.

Jess said: "It's not just getting out of London, it's home!

When deciding to start their restoration project, the couple were overwhelmed when they realised they both had family connections to the house in Powys. They thought it was fate when they realised Jess' grandfather used to live in the house and later so did Colin's family.
