He’s back on the lookout for quirky builds in the latest series of Amazing Spaces – although George Clarke warns it gets emotional when revisiting a former contributor.

Carpenter and dad Adam Collier-Woods wowed viewers in series two when he transformed an old bus into holiday accommodation. Sadly, the bus was destroyed in a fire, but now Adam’s back with his latest renovation. “The bus was one of the best projects I’ve seen, then tragedy struck,” says George, 50. “And Adam has an illness that makes him suffer really badly from fatigue, so imagine juggling the financial ruin of losing the bus, trying to fill in insurance claims and raising the money to do his next project.” In episode one, we see Adam start to make a holiday let out of four shipping containers. “I’ve seen him go through unbelievably tough times but he’s so positive and has so much drive,” George continues. “He created a fantastic build and we both got quite emotional.

He’s someone I really care about.” George is no stranger to a tear or two on the show – and has even been teased by other celebs. “Steve Coogan mentioned me on his Alan Partridge podcast, when Alan talks about a restoration project.

He says, ‘I half expected a visit from the Geordie bloke who always looks like he’s going to cry,’” George smiles. He adds, “It made me laugh so much because I wear my heart on my sleeve.
