Some enter the new year with resolutions and aspirations, but for Amanda Byram it’s a new ‘project’ she’s facing in 2025.
The TV presenter and her hubby Julian Okines have bought a new home that needs a ‘complete renovation’.
Some of the work that needs to be done to their house, she says, is a loft conversion, kitchen extension, new bathrooms, bedrooms, and garden landscaping. That is a project!

As any homeowner knows, the situation often gets worse before it gets better. And though there are countless hours of renovating ahead of them, Amanda, Julian and their three-year-old son Phoenix look over the moon with their new abode.
The former model shared snaps in front of her house on Thursday. One shows her posing with her family while another shows her gleefully waggling the keys over her shoulder.

Amanda wrote: ‘2025 has started with a bang! Not least because we just bought a new house. I say new as it is pretty old and requires a complete renovation top to bottom.
‘I mean everything… loft conversion, kitchen extension, new bathrooms, bedrooms, garden landscaping… the lot! I love a project but am totally open to advice, suggestions, collaborations.’

A host of Amanda’s well-known friends reached out to congratulate her and Julian, with Maia Dunphy penning: ‘Oh how exciting though! It’s beautiful!’
Lorraine Keane wrote: ‘Congratulations Amanda. I love a renovation project. What an exciting start to the new year for you all.’
And Yvonne Connolly commented: ‘So exciting. I just finished mine. Nothing like putting your own stamp on a place.’
Congratulations, Amanda, Julian and Phoenix!
