Rebecca and Jeremy Front bring us 5 new 'incredible women'.

Today Jeremy Front meets the Queen of crafting, Nessa Blackwater.

Jeremy travels to Nessa's beautiful home in rural Dorset to find out just what has made the Blackwater brand such a success story.

But not everyone is a Nessa fan. Designer Wayne Hemingway is repulsed by her middle England image and he doesn't hold back.
