I have had to keep this information very tightly under wraps, even from my closest friends and family, but I can now reveal some very exciting news.
I shall keep it brief as it is a long and winding story. But the long and the short of it is that I have been approached by BBC 2 to be a judge on their newest prime time weekday project.
Having read my blog with interest, they felt that my passion for thriftiness and upcycling would be perfect for their flagship show The Great British Upcycle.
Like The Great British Bake Off and The Sewing Bee, the object of the show is to bring together some very talented amateurs and pit them against each other in a series of upcycle challenges.
William Morris, Kirsty Allsop and Martha Stewart are lined up as fellow judges. Each of us representing one of the following. Someone old, someone new, someone borrowed and someone with glue. I’ll leave you to guess who’s who 😉
The comedy duo Trevor and Simon (Of Live and Kicking fame) will present the show and lend support to the contestants as they face moral, emotional and mental melt downs.
This promises to be the most brutal show aired since Bill Oddy had a pop at Kate Humble on Spring Watch.
Filming starts late April at Bullring in Birmingham, but in the meantime I have a whirlwind of interviews to do in order to promote the show.
On Woman’s Hour tomorrow I will be talking to Jane Garvey about my views on the 2014 Woman’s Hour Power list.
After this I will be whizzing over to Look East, where I will be talking about Milton Keynes and it’s place on the international stage.
Bruce Lee the wise once said “showing off is the fool’s idea of glory” , and with that in mind I shall say no more, other than….. Watch this space 😉
