Some of you may remember former guest Jimmy Whittle. Jimmy became something of a celebrity on the Island – and further afield - when he appeared on Channel 4 programme Restoration Man and his unique personality won over viewers and programme makers alike. Jimmy has also battled with depression and alcoholism, both of which were amplified when he lost his partner Lorna under tragic circumstances in her 20s.
Well, Jimmy is making the headlines again - for very positive reason. If you were down at the beer tent on the prom over TT2017, you might have spotted him – you could hardly miss him in fact – building a boat out of beer cans...Christy went down to the tent to catch up with him and find out what exactly he was playing at...
