Alan Carr and Amanda Holden have recently made headlines with their impressive renovation of a Tuscan home. Fans of the popular show Grand Designs will definitely want to take note of this exciting news. The dynamic duo have reportedly sold the home for a six-figure sum, showcasing their incredible talents as home renovators.
The Britain's Got Talent judge, Amanda, and the hilarious Chatty Man host, Alan, purchased the run-down property for a mere 85p under Italy's €1 home scheme. This initiative aims to combat the issue of depopulation in rural towns by enticing new inhabitants with the opportunity to purchase a home at a symbolic price. And it seems like Amanda and Alan's efforts have paid off, with the home selling for an impressive £187,777 just two months after being listed.
The home, affectionately named Casa Almanda by the friends, was documented in the hit BBC show, Amanda & Alan's Italian Job. Viewers were able to witness the transformation of the 17th century property, which was no easy feat. When Amanda first stepped foot into the home, she was taken aback by the previous owner's belongings that were still there, including plates on walls, figurines, and even personal photographs and a passport.
But the determined pair rolled up their sleeves and got to work, with all of the proceeds from the sale being donated to the charities Children in Need and Comic Relief. Amanda shared her emotional connection to the project, stating that she could almost smell the history of the house and wanted to do a better job than before to honor its spirits.
Fans of the show will be happy to know that Amanda & Alan's Italian Job will be returning for a third season, but with a twist. Instead of focusing on a property in Italy, the duo will be taking on the challenge of renovating a home in a different country. Alan hinted at the possibility of Portugal being their next destination, after having a great time performing stand-up there.
The €1 home scheme in Italy not only offers an amazing opportunity for homeownership but also encourages new inhabitants to move to the country. The Agency has reached out to Amanda and Alan's representatives as well as the BBC for further comment on this exciting news. In the meantime, fans can catch up on the previous seasons of Amanda & Alan's Italian Job on BBC iPlayer.
