Paul O'Grady has won planning approval to build a two-storey guest house with a kitchen and two bedrooms in the grounds of his Georgian farmhouse in Kent. The TV presenter gained permission to knock down a neglected cottage next to his sprawling property in Aldington near Ashford. It will make way for a new guesthouse which will feature a dining and kitchen space, a separate living area and two upstairs bedrooms. O'Grady, 65, will also transform his blue-painted home by adding a sixth bedroom in the loft and an entrance lobby to 'create a sense of arrival'.
