TV handyman Andy Davis is appealing for untidy Worcestershire homeowners to hand over their houses for his latest programme.

Soldier-turned-joiner Andy - who lives in the county - was catapulted into the energetic world of television DIY three years ago after doing a decorating job for a producer.

He has since appeared on House Call and Big Strong Boys.

Now, the handyman, who supplements his media career with decorating jobs, is using his infectious enthusiasm for the small screen to encourage his neighbours to appear on his current show, Houses Behaving Badly.

The series is being shown at 11am on weekdays on BBC1 for seven weeks.

"We're still in need of at least three houses to film in the area," Andy said.

"We go into houses in a morning and usually, as a surprise for one partner, we go in and tidy up and make over three rooms in the house.

"We usually take the other partner out for the day and we deal with the other people living in the house and get their input on what they both like.

"It's more of a cleaning programme than a makeover show but, at the end of the day, I put new units up and carpets and things and we have a party of cleaners who come in."

The 37-year-old father-of-three moved to Kidderminster six years ago after serving in the British Army for nine years as a driving and maintenance, and physical training, instructor.

The son of a carpentry teacher in Birmingham, he discovered his love of home improvement during an Army course in woodwork and joinery, which led to a career as a self-employed decorator.

"We need people who have had stuff in their houses for years that they cannot get rid of and we sort it out for them so their rooms can function again. It's nice to see their faces when they come back."

Anyone interested in handing their house over can e-mail ontv@bbc.co.uk or call 0870 3337328. Alternatively, they should write to Room 329, BBC Pebble Mill, Birmingham, B5 7QQ.
