A self-proclaimed 'hoarder' spends her days transforming other hoarders' messy and clutter-filled homes.

Lisa Curtis, 53, grew up with a fondness of 'collecting' things - which she later realised would be classed as 'hoarding'.

When her dad, Keith Robinson, 65, died in 2013 - she discovered his house was bursting full because he was also a hoarder.

She spent months sifting through his belongings choosing what to keep, donate, sell and discard - clearing the property on weekends over around six months.

She then turned her attention to her own three-bed home - stacked full of random collections - and managed to get rid of thousands of items.
