Tommy Walsh looks unrecognisable on Homes Under the Hammer 25 years on from Ground Force debut
March 15, 2022TOMMY Walsh looks unrecognisable on Homes Under the Hammer – 25 years on from his Ground Force debut.
The 65-year-old was a popular face on British TV from 1997 when he appeared on the hit gardening show alongside Alan Titchmarsh and Charlie Dimmock.
The builder helped transform people's gardens until the show came to an end in 2005.
Since then, Tommy has continued to work on TV as well as running his own building business and writing DIY books.
More recently, he has been back on the BBC with Clean It, Fix It and has become a presenter on popular property show, Homes Under the Hammer.
However if some viewers haven't seen Tommy for a while they may not have immediately recognised him thinner face and grey hair.

Meanwhile, Clean It, Fix It sees Tommy, extreme cleaner Maxine Dwyer and skilled carpenter Asher Edwards given one day to help a household reclaim their space.
Ahead of the new series, Maxine has opened up about what it is like working with her co-stars.
While Maxine may be used to some pretty grim sights while cleaning, the same can’t be said for Tommy and Asher.
The cleaner explained that during some of the transformations, both of her co-stars struggled with the dirty toilets.

Maxine added: “He would say, ‘There's nothing you can do, it just needs ripping out, the tiles and stuff like that' – and poor Asher, he was shocked.
"He's just not used to it, he's used to going there with no cupboards and then making cupboards.”
Homes Under the Hammer and Clean It, Fix It, are both available on BBC iPlayer.
