A woman from Morecambe has won £35,000 on a TV property show hosted by popular presenter George Clarke.
Harriet Swan was one of the contestants on the new series of 'George Clarke's Flipping Fast' on Channel 4 where teams battled it out to win a £100,000 cash prize.
Each team had £100,000 and a year to buy properties anywhere in the UK, refurbish them, and attempt to sell them at a profit. The team with the largest profit at the end of the competition would win the £100,000, with all teams also able to keep any profits they made.
Harriet, 28, topped the leader board after the first episode, having bought a one-bedroom flat in Morecambe for £67,750, renovated it with the help of family members, and sold it for £99,000, making £18,807 profit after costs were deducted.
Harriet then bought another two-bedroom flat in Bolton for £77,000, and quickly improved the property, putting it back on the market in just three weeks, and selling within days for £109,000.

Overall, although her efforts weren’t quite enough to win the competition, Harriet still walked away with the tidy sum of £35,023 in profit for her two renovations.
The show had earlier featured Harriet looking at properties in Morecambe, and on Princes Crescent in Bare.
Harriet, whose maiden name is Muckle, works as a sports journalist and TV presenter.
