Loose Women host Janet Street-Porter is known for her unapologetically loud personality and she was perfectly matched to the home she used to live in. While the star now lives in Norfolk, she used to live in a castle-like property in London's Clerkenwell.

In 1997, she and her architect friend Piers Gough designed Janet's dream "representation of a medieval castle" in Clerkenwell, London. The statement design was highly controversial, with a blue roof and abstract shaped windows, which Piers described as a "portrait" of Janet's outspoken TV personality.
