Grand Designs stars Greg and Georgie delighted viewers last night as their incredible home project had fans of the Channel 4 show in tears.
The married couple, who joined host Kevin McCloud on the programme on Wednesday (January 13), revealed how they had both gone through serious health battles.
Greg had a brain tumour nine years ago, but thankfully recovered.
What happened with Greg and Georgie on Grand Designs?
He found his partner, Georgie, because of his illness as they met on a charity sailing trip.
Georgie, meanwhile, has been receiving treatment for cancer for most of her life. Doctors diagnosed her with a malignant brain tumour when she was 10 and she has had other forms of the disease in the years since.
She said: “It’s a long road, about 23 years. Meeting Greg was amazing… we both had an understanding of what it’s like to be really unwell.”

Their project was to turn a run-down barn on the grounds of Georgie’s parents’ house into their very own home.
And it saw them completely transform the building on a starting budget of £250k.
The final result blew viewers away.
On Twitter, they called it the best episode of the show to date, while others called Greg and Georgie ‘inspirational’.
Others admitted being in tears when they revealed the final result of their project.
