Television presenter Alan Titchmarsh has set the stage for the next chapter in the story of his popular ITV show, Love Your Weekend, by sharing an exciting update on the future of Manor Farm's now-famous chicken coop.
The Grand Opening of The Chick Inn
During Sunday afternoon's broadcast, Alan Titchmarsh took a moment to reflect on the recent transformation of the chicken run, a project he described as being "on a scale never before seen." The once dilapidated structure was turned into a veritable poultry palace, thanks to the hard work of carpenter and DIY guru Robert Bent.
The grand opening, which featured actress and self-confessed chicken lover Thelma Barlow cutting the ribbon, was a memorable occasion for viewers. A clip of the event was replayed, reminding audiences of the wonderful scenes that marked the official unveiling of the chickens' new home, aptly named 'The Chick Inn'.
Viewer Demand Drives New Ambitions
Following the successful renovation, Alan revealed that viewers have been eagerly asking on social media about what is next for the celebrated coop. Questions about revamping the interior to match the splendour of the exterior have been, in his words, "almost breathless."
In response to this public interest, Alan promised answers, declaring, "Well, wonder no more." He then introduced a pre-recorded segment featuring Robert Bent, who detailed his ambitious ideas for the next phase.
Rob Bent's Vision for the Coop's Interior
In his update, Rob Bent outlined plans to upcycle various fittings inside the coop to ensure the interior design complements the impressive exterior. He also floated some creative concepts to enhance the chickens' quality of life, including the potential installation of an obstacle course or even a hamster wheel to provide them with a dedicated space for exercise.
When the footage concluded, Alan Titchmarsh expressed his enthusiasm, calling Rob "What a man!" and praising his great ideas. He then extended an invitation to the audience, encouraging them to contribute their own suggestions.
Alan urged viewers at home to get in touch via the show's Facebook page with any thoughts on how to improve the interior of The Chick Inn. He teased that their idea could become an integral part of the next stage of this "epic transformation," jovially adding, "who needs Kevin McCloud."
This community-focused approach ensures that the beloved feature of Love Your Weekend will continue to evolve with direct input from its dedicated fans. The show remains available to watch on ITVX.
