A WOMAN who participated on Channel 4's The Great House Giveaway and refurbished a house with a complete stranger has revealed that she has retrained and found a new job.<\/p>\n

The series see's two strangers who are not homeowners renovate a house bought at auction within six months on a budget.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

If the project is a success, the partners split the earnings, or the house is put back up for auction.<\/p>\n

Sami Fretwell and Lennon Boyle were given three houses to choose from.<\/p>\n

They chose a three-bedroom end terrace in St Helens.<\/p>\n

But the house needed some TLC, and Sami happened to be a painter and decorator.<\/p>\n

As a result of Sami's decorating skills, the couple was able to transform their shabby house into a perfect family home.<\/p>\n

Sami said that the experience inspired her to pursue a "plastering course" and gain more knowledge in her field.<\/p>\n

She shared: "Since doing the show, I\u2019ve actually put myself onto a plastering course. I bought myself new up-to-date tools…<\/p>\n

"I'm more confident now to do that kind of thing if I need to. I've done whole walls, I've done some patch plastering."<\/p>\n

The painter and decorator went on to say that her time on the show helped her gain confidence and develop new skills, such as "plastering a wall," which she now uses at work.<\/p>\n

Sami continued: "It's all stuff that I felt like I needed to bring someone else in to do when I\u2019ve been working, but now if there is a bit of a wall that needs skimming or patching before I can paint I can offer to do that myself and do the whole job in one go.<\/p>\n

"I\u2019m not waiting around and I'm earning a little bit more now on top."<\/p>\n

After getting the renovation itch, the painter and decorator is now seeking the perfect house to do up.<\/p>\n
