The design and technology teacher from Stockport was named the winner of the BBC One show's sixth series, capping off his journey to the title with a Mediterranean-inspired transformation of a cottage in Portmeirion, Wales, in the final.

He is the only original member in the current line-up of 10cc, which formed in Stockport in 1972.

Trams form the backbone of the investment plans, with Greater Manchester getting £2.5bn to extend its network to Stockport and add stops in Bury, Manchester and Oldham, and the West Midlands getting £2.4bn to extend services from Birmingham city centre to the new sports quarter.
