SHE has always dared to be different but now a passion for prints has led to TV fame for one Locking Stumps resident.

Jane Reed loves everything leopard print, and tiger print, and zebra print.

In fact, she loves it so much that her whole house is decorated in the style and most of her clothes are animal print as well.

And on Tuesday evening she invited the nation inside her front door to show what really brings out the animal in her.

Her house which was the star of the first episode of the new BBC2 show Home.

The floors, walls and even the curtains have a touch of animal magic and the theme even spreads to the bedroom where Jane and her husband, Harry, sleep under a leopard print bedspread.

The 48-year-old said: "I love to be different.

"I would hate to have say windows with twee nets. Everyone comes in and goes wow!' But you get used to it when it is just where you live.

"It is everywhere in the house but it's not tacky.

"We have had the house like this for about three years now but about 18 months ago, I thought it was going to go out but it hasn't. I think it is here to stay and I can't see me getting fed up with it!"

Luckily for the mum-of-two her family feel the same way about her passion for print.

She added: "They love it! When my two daughters bring friends back it really has the wow factor."

Even family dog, Harley, gets in on the act - he has his own leopard print coat, scarf and dog basket.
