Homes Under The Hammer's Martin Roberts talks odd sighting while filming 'Spooky'

“In this day and age of tablets and electronic gizmos I still think there is nothing quite as important as reading to children,” Martin explained.

“It’s a chance to bond with them, but also release your inner child and thespian.”

He continued to Female First: “Although The Villes is written for children I did include lots of references and storyline’s that adults will really enjoy, and I hope that the beautiful illustrations give joy to all ages.”

Homes Under The Hammer airs weekdays on BBC One at 10am.
