Josie Gibson and her team of experts are on the lookout for homes packed with vintage, unusual and collectable items across Tyne and Wear, with applications open until Saturday, December 12.

An ITV programme hosted by Josie Gibson is on the lookout for people from South Tyneside to take part in turning their clutter into cash.

ITV's How To Clean Up For Cash is back and Josie Gibson is once again on a quest to help people reclaim their space.

The presenter is on the lookout for people across Tyne and Wear who want to secretly nominate a friend, partner or family member whose possessions have taken over their home, giving them the chance of a surprise declutter.

Whether it's a parent who can't bear to throw anything away, a partner with an out-of-control collection or a friend whose spare room is bursting at the seams, Josie wants to hear from you.

Josie and her team of experts are looking for homes packed with vintage, unusual and collectable items, from costume jewellery, old toys and musical instruments to cameras, war memorabilia, gold, silver, watches and even old technology.

And Tyne and Wear could have some hidden treasures of its own.

From colourful Maling Pottery and antique Newcastle silver to collectable Ringtons tea caddies, decorative Gateshead glassware and Sunderland lustreware, rare records by The Police and Dire Straits, early editions of Catherine Cookson's novels and vintage Newcastle Brown Ale advertising signs, who knows what forgotten treasures could be hiding in homes across the region?

With Josie and her team's help, the unsuspecting clutter culprits will have their possessions carefully packed up before receiving an offer for the lot. Then comes the big decision: will they keep their belongings or cash in?

The team is keen to hear from people from all walks of life and backgrounds, living in all types of homes, across Tyne and Wear.

Applications are now open for ITV's How To Clean Up For Cash, closing on Saturday, December 12. Applicants must be aged 18 or over.
