Johnny Vaughan has returned to the lock-keepers cottages that housed the iconic TV show The Big Breakfast.
The Radio X presenter, 54, who became a star presenting the show from 1997 to 2001, visited the house – which is up for sale for £5.75 million – in a clip for his radio show.
The spacious place is located Old Ford Lock, in Dace Road, East London and boasts six bedrooms and half an acre of land.
The home – which was originally three cottages – was extensively renovated after the show wrapped in 2002.
It’s currently split into two buildings which are linked with inter-connecting doors.
The property has a wrap around garden and a large outdoor swimming pool and a number of large windows look out onto the gorgeous green space.
As Johnny walked around the house he was flooded with fond memories such as the family of the week segments in the kitchen and having a number of A-list guests.
In August, Channel 4 announced that the anarchic show will return for a one-off special.
Comedian Mo Gilligan will host as part of C4’s “black takeover day”, with the format reimagined through an “unashamedly Black British lens”.
Mo, right, said: “I am grateful to be asked to host this special event, particularly as part of such a hugely thrilling and history-making day for British television.”
Celebrity Gogglebox, Countdown and Channel 4 News will also feature all-black talent as C4 marks the killing of George Floyd and Black History Month 2021.
The channel wants to “kick-start a fresh push for greater representation”.
Ian Katz, director of programmes, said: “Channel 4 was created to give voice to underrepresented parts of society and do things other broadcasters would not, and the Black Takeover qualifies on both counts.
“It will be much more than a day of eye-catching programming, providing a focal point for our efforts to drive up on and off screen representation and leaving a lasting legacy on the channel and beyond.”
