Grand Designs' 'most heartbreaking story ever' reaches conclusion after years of crisis

ok.co.uk:

Kevin McCloud is gearing up to revisit an unfinished project in the upcoming season of Grand Designs, following years of turmoil.The 65 year old presenter is back at the helm of the Channel 4 show for its 26th series, where he'll be touring some of the UK's most daring and unique home builds.

But this series also offers Kevin McCloud the opportunity to catch up with Graeme and Melanie. Back in late 2023, the couple appeared on Grand Designs with dreams of building a brand new pink house for their combined family, after each losing their respective partners.

Mel and Graeme purchased a small plot in Hackney, intending to construct bedrooms for their daughters, Isla and Indi, in the basement and their living areas on the upper floor.

However, despite a promising start, the duo soon realised they had bitten off more than they could chew and ran out of money, leaving their new home incomplete.
