I turned my garden into a Bridgerton paradise using some plastic and an item you can find in a charity shop

WHO says you need a manor house to feel like you're in a Regency romance? A woman shared how she created a Bridgerton-inspired outdoor space in her garden using a little creativity. 3 Michaela shared how she transformed her garden into a Bridgerton paradise Credit: TikTok / @mishkashoe 3 She added a chandelier under her pergola Credit: TikTok / @mishkashoe 3 People praised her Bridgerton-inspired outdoor space Credit: LIAM DANIEL/NETFLIX Michaela, who posts under She shared: "Rainproofing our pergola... and going full BRIDGERTON with a vintage candelabra chandelier." The first thing she did was all some plastic sheeting over the top, so the area could be enjoyed in all weather conditions. After putting a dining set underneath, she added an elegant finishing touch which looked like it could be straight from the ton. More on transformations Michaela shared: 'To top it all off, we added a vintage candelabra chandelier and wrapped the whole pergola in fairy lights.' She added some fake candles and some faux ivy to the chandelier, and it was ready for hosting her own fancy soiree. Many people were hugely impressed with her simple, yet effective DIY. Her video has racked up over 8,000 likes, and people were quick to comment on the clip. Most read in Fabulous One person wrote: 'This is what I want to do to mine.' Another added: 'Walking to my husband so i can show him this…' Tradesmen quoted me £2.5K to wrap my kitchen cupboards so I did it myself for £62 instead and it looks so good And a third commented: 'That's a great job, looks fabulous.' It's not the first time a homeowner has tried to recreate the Bridgerton look in their garden on a budget. CURTAIN LOOK One woman shared how she picked up She says: 'I turned an ugly wooden fence into a spectacular Bridgerton-style paradise using two plastic curtains and a staple gun. "It transformed my garden. People even think the arches and fake gates are real. 'I got the idea when my next-door neighbour did it. Theirs has pink flowers cascading over a faux wall scene. "When I saw it, I was amazed and because I rent my house, I can take it with me if I leave because it folds up. 'I am a fan of Bridgerton. The scene reminded me of the gardens in the show.' Why is Bridgerton still so popular? By deputy TV editor, Felicity Cross WHEN Bridgerton landed during lockdown, it swept us all into a world of bejewelled gowns, lavish balls and endless bonking - and the world went mad for it. Even the sexless second series didn't damp down TV viewers' lust for the Regency romp and fans have eagerly anticipated the arrival of the third series. And they won't be disappointed. The opener finally gives us some action from gorgeous series two newlyweds Anthony and Kate in scenes that would make your granny blush. There's drama and intrigue as the hunt for Lady Whistledown hots us, and laugh out loud comedy from the chaotic Featherington family. But ultimately the season belongs to new romantic leads Colin and Penelope, whose will-they-won't-they love story is fun, flirty and utterly believable and its, ahem, climax at the end of episode four will take your breath away. Is Bridgerton still must-watch telly? Corset is.

Shiny Happy People: The Teenage Holy War Prime Video, streaming now 'How do you know you're in a cult if it's your normal?' For most under the power of leader Ron Luce, believing you were meant to die a teen martyr for Christ was normal... It would appear there was so much for the Teen Mania Ministries escapees to unpack of their time at the church that Emmy-winning filmmakers Nicole Newnham and Cori Shepherd are back with a second season. They continue to focus on America's largest youth ministry, which attracted millions through wildly popular stadium shows known as 'Acquire the Fire'. Packed with Millennial-era energy and copious levels of cringe, the series captures massive crowds of teens swept up in fervent religious concerts, purity pledges, and missionary zeal — when all most of them needed was a decent regular rave to attend. Beneath the polished youth group image, it reveals rigid spiritual training, theatrical indoctrination, and emotional manipulation orchestrated by Luce.
