Lisa Hotston and Judy Lording will appear on Your Home Made Perfect, a property makeover series which sees six architects transform houses into dream homes using virtual reality.

The couple, who are both civil servants, have two daughters and a 16-month-old granddaughter.

Hide AdLisa: ‘I’m really not creative - that’s completely beyond me, which is why I ended up saying to Judy about signing up for the show.
‘I’d actually been watching the show anyway to get ideas for our home, and I thought it was really creative.’
Judy said: ‘The experience was definitely fun and definitely worthwhile. Highly recommended - the 3D experience was just mindblowing.’
Lisa had treatment for cancer while the programme was in development, and was given the all-clear in March 2020.

The episode will feature architects Lynsey Elliott and Will Foster competing for the job of redesigning Lisa and Judy’s home.
Lynsey plans to seriously declutter, giving the family practically and much needed space and light, whilst Will embraces Lisa and Judy’s love of Victoriana and demos a design that showcases their collections inspired by the Great Exhibition.
Judy: ‘Both designs were jaw-dropping. We were like “oh my goodness” - amazing how well they’d listened to what we said.
