TOWIE star Dan Osborne rolled up his sleeves and took on a DIY challenge at a family fun day.

The former Splash contestant competed against B&Q employees at the opening of the store in Marshall Road, Leyton, on Saturday, October 15.

Face painters, stilt walkers and balloon modellers were on hand to entertain families.

Dan said although he was nervous at the thought of taking on the DIY experts with his skills, he enjoyed himself.

He said: “I had a great time helping celebrate the launch of the new B&Q Leyton store.

“I was nervous about testing my DIY skills against customers and staff but it was a good laugh.

“I even got some advice from them to make my own home improvement projects easier.”

Martin Foreman, unit manager at B&Q Leyton, said: “We had a great laugh putting Dan’s DIY skills to the test.

“He’s quite the pro.”
