A hit TV design show took a trip to the seaside for a summertime challenge.
During last night’s episode of Design Masters, contestants were tasked with transforming Eastbourne’s beach chalets.
The five remaining designers in the BBC show, which is based in Brighton, were given a brief for each chalet and had two days to revamp the 90-year-old structures into multi-functional seaside retreats.
The episode was filmed last year and the designers set to work on their smallest spaces to date while battling a heatwave.

Contestant Tom Power’s client was a water sport enthusiast who wanted a Caribbean beach hut style.
Monika Charchula’s mission was to turn hers into an Art Deco gin club for the four couples who share the chalet for sampling sessions.
Peter Irvine was given the challenge of adapting the space for a multi-generational family with the theme of “flamboyant florals”.
Temi Johnson’s client, who is a GP, wanted an “eco conscious chalet”.
And Jack Kinsey, whose chalet is rented by Eastbourne’s A&E department for its staff, also went for an Art Deco theme.
The designers had to impress head judge Michelle Ogundehin and guest judge Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.
Temi was the runaway winner, and the rest of the designers were hauled into Michelle’s office to discuss their designs.
Peter was eliminated, with his design compared to a “railway carriage” by Llewelyn-Bowen.
