A grandmother who lost her home and was diagnosed with cancer was given a huge surprise, thanks to Peter Andre and her granddaughter.
Sheila Buckingham's cottage in Mount Pleasant, Halstead, was given a glamorous overhaul by the team of ITV's 60 Minute Makeover.
The transformation was carried out in May, but was not screened on television until this week.
Mrs Buckingham's granddaughter, Stevie, had nominated the 78-year-old for the show because she had gone through difficult times in recent years, including having to sell her home to pay off an equity loan, and being diagnosed with cancer last year.
