The normally tranquil Eccleston Court, St Helens, was transformed into a bustling film set when celebrity barber Michael Douglas visited for BBC’s ‘The One Show’.
This popular primetime national TV programme chose CIC's Eccleston Court to take part in a special Christmas edition of the programme, rewarding residents and members of staff with a new look! Michael said, “A new haircut can ultimately give you self confidence. A good haircut can make you feel great. Hopefully today has spread some Christmas cheer in Eccleston Court”. Michael cut, trimmed and restyled the hair of several residents and staff in front of a TV camera crew. Residents excitedly watched each restyle and cheered as the new look was revealed to the person made over. Resident Anne said, “Today has been so exciting, I never expected to be in front of a camera! It felt better than being given £1000!”, Michael agreed, “Today has been great fun, I think the residents have enjoyed taking part in the making of a TV programme and seeing their friends get a fresh new look”. Home manager Julie Thornett said “We were delighted to be selected by ‘The One Show’ to be visited by Michael. All of our residents had a fantastic time and are delighted with their new hair styles!” The episode will be broadcast on BBC One over the Christmas period.
