Julia Kendell: How my own self-build became a DIY SOS... but it won't stop me doing it again | Mail Online

Having already completed one modernist self-build house, Julia Kendell, best known as a presenter of BBC1’s DIY SOS, is about to embark on her second.
This is in spite of having to launch an SOS of her own during a fraught phase of the build at the £750,000 plot she had bought on the banks of the Thames at Charvil in Berkshire.
Her partner, Andrew Hughes-Hallett, 47, a management consultant, was perched precariously on a ladder while his 82-year-old mother was visiting the site. As he hurried down, the ladder slipped and he fell backwards, trapping his left leg between two rungs and snapping it ‘clean in two’, says Julia, 42.
