In 2019, Lisa opened up to Wales Online about living in the house as she explained: “The first time I realised I was in the house was watching it on TV. I thought it looked like my living room at the time and it was the weirdest feeling.
“Our neighbours were away at the time so I couldn’t ask them so I rang the BBC. They said due to data protection they couldn’t tell us – they said they were filming series two and if someone knocked on my door then we would know.”
However, Lisa also explained that Smithy and Bryn’s iconic gym scene was never actually filmed in the house, as it was done in a room that was styled to look like her home.
