About this episode

TV and radio presenter Nicki Chapman would never flush her pet fish down the toilet - they’re perfectly happy swimming around by the cistern. In this episode we learn about the luxury (and the downside) of heated windows, Lazy Susan tables and the time Nicki’s house played host to a Spice Girl’s mum.

Producer: Lyndsay Fenner
Executive Producer: Steve Austins
Editor: Adam Whalley

A Bengo Media original production.

After successful brain surgery in 2019, Nicki is now a passionate Ambassador for The Brain Tumour Charity.
