Dancing on Ice 2022 LIVE: Brendan Cole gets huge first week score as fans claim it’s a fix...

Bez, 57, says he hit rock bottom aged 16, so turned to a friend called Maggi, who gave him a place to stay.

But when the time came for him to move, he came up with the idea of turning a shed at the bottom of Maggi’s garden into his own "private little pad".

After agreeing to his idea, the former Celebrity Big Brother housemate  transformed it into a liveable space - and even used it to woo girls.

He said: “I set to it right away, whitewashing the interior and putting in a thick-pile carpet, followed by a raised platform bed, a TV, a stereo and a calor gas heater.

“I even had my own facilities for making the brews in the morning. For a lad of sixteen, it was heaven.

“Okay so it was a shed, but it didn’t half come in useful as a conversation piece, plus the girls just loved the novelty value.”
