Emily & Vikki Great House Giveaway Square

I appeared in the first-ever episode of The Great House Giveaway

Former Level 3 Electrical student

When I started my course at College, it was a bit scary, but I knew that’s what I wanted to do. I have no regrets, I’ve met lots of great people, and love what I do now.

I am now a qualified electrician and I run my own handywoman service.

I often get surprised looks when I turn up to a job, but it’s great to break stereotypes.

I recently appeared in the first-ever episode of The Great House Giveaway, a pioneering new daytime series which offers two strangers the opportunity to get their foot on the property ladder. With my teammate, I had just £9,000 to renovate an auction house in Bradford and had to contend with various issues through the project like unforeseen building regulations.

Working on this project gave me lots more skills alongside electrical work, including plumbing, tiling and plastering.
