DIY SOS: Series 31: The Big Build - Corby

The Big Build - Corby

BBC One - DIY SOS, Series 31, The Big Build - Corby

The team help the family of Jordan Hutchison, who has cerebral palsy and epilepsy.

The team are in Corby to complete a build for Jackie, Colin and their three children, one of whom suffers from cerebral palsy and epilepsy.

Jordan Hutchison is an inspirational teenager. He has cerebral palsy and epilepsy, but this has not stopped him defying expectations and raising huge sums of money for charity. He currently lives with his parents, Jackie and Colin, and his siblings at his grandmother’s house. He sleeps on an air bed, while the parents share rooms with the younger children. The family home is a shell after a series of building issues meant the family ran out of money with no way of finishing the work.

Dad Colin is Jordan’s primary carer and has saved his life a number of times when Jordan suffered epileptic seizures in his sleep. Mum Jacqueline isn’t physically strong enough to help Jordan and so works in a children’s home, saving every penny to spend on finishing their home. Their current living situation and the financial stress of the unfinished build is taking its toll on the whole family, and Jacqueline recently collapsed.

Jordan is a growing lad with a very strong mind, and he just wants his independence, like any other young man his age, but he doesn’t have the space or facilities in which to develop. The house needs extensive work before the family can move in. Hundreds of tradespeople and volunteers from Corby and across the UK have come to help the DIY SOS team and designer Gabrielle Omar create a house that will finally be a home.
