WHEN Darlington soldier Mike Younghusband joined the Army he did not expect to appear on television.
But the 18-year-old had to brush up on his DIY talents to appear on a make-over programme to be broadcast on the British Forces TV channel next month.
Mike, a gunner with the 4th Royal Artillery Regiment, stationed in Germany, was given a £150 budget to improve his living quarters.
He said: "I particularly enjoyed the time off work and being in a different environment than the gun park."
The Paint Quality Institute helped Mike and his friends choose the right paints.
