TV presenter Suzi Perry mucked in with a group of ex-servicemen to help renovate an Oxfordshire Scout hut.

The building off Lashford Lane in Dry Sandford, which is home to the 24th Abingdon Scouts, was spruced up for a new Channel Five television show yesterday.

Operation Home Front, which is set to air in October, is presented by Perry, who has hosted The Gadget Show and the BBC’s MotoGP coverage.

Perry tweeted during the renovation: “The Scout hut rebuild is chugging along but we definitely took on a bit too much.”
