RTE star Hugh Wallace has said he’s "all excited" as he finally shared his house renovation plans. The Home of the Year judge has posted exclusive updates on the home refurbishments on his social media. Hugh took a video of himself at the building site earlier this week and said: "All excited.

At last the house is moving on. "Windows will be in this week and then we're starting on the interior." He shared it on Instagram and captioned his post: "The house is moving on, we will soon be weather tight.



Then the real fun begins!" The celebrity architect hopes to move in by Christmas. Hugh's pal sent him a message saying: "Make sure it's a big bed in the guest room!" The presenter gave fans a quick look inside his house and revealed: "There's going to be a set of French doors out to a small garden in the front, which gets south and west light. "The original window will go back in and where I'm standing will be a shower room with the bedroom over there.

"Ideally what we want is a pull down bed so this can act as a second living room or when we've guests, we have a fabulous bedroom." Hugh also explained how himself and his husband Martin Corbett have clashing ideas of how they want the inside of their home to look. The 67-year-old said: "Him and I have very different tastes so there's lots of debate going on at the moment over finishes.

"I want to bring in colour and Martin wants muted tones, white and grey." Hugh let out a big yawn at Martin's opinion and joked: "The contract may need to include referee and peacekeeping!" The Dubliner's friends and fans all loved seeing inside his house and begged for more updates. Emma wrote: "Can’t wait to see it.

" Another follower said: "Looks great Hugh." Colin remarked: "I passed it yesterday. Fab, enjoy the journey.

" Mandy added: "Brilliant News. Keep the updates coming." Hugh will be back on air in the coming months as another season of The Great House Revival returns.

The series sees Hugh travel across Ireland to help homeowners restore and transform their derelict properties into beautiful homes. Since the series first aired in 2015, it has celebrated homeowners' creativity and individuality with smart designs and inspiring interiors..
