Sharing a tour of her pad, the 25-year-old showed off the mix of colours she used for the doors - with blue, purple, pink, green, yellow and orange.

And she couldn't help but compare it to the multi-coloured houses on CBeebies hit Balamory, as she blared the theme tune out during her video.

Parents across the country will fondly remember the programme for its iconic song: "What's the story in Balamory, wouldn't you like to know?"

The show followed life in a small Scottish town and its various characters including Chewin' the Fat star Julie Wilson Nimmo as school teacher Miss Hoolie.

Filmed on Tobermory, it was a huge hit during its four season run from 2002 to 2005 and has remained a great source of nostalgia for those who grew up with the programme.

Aged four when the show first aired, YouTuber and podcast host Megan clearly still has fond memories of it - and its colourful houses.

Megan said her own home is all about "fun and colour".

"There's not really a colour scheme, it's kind of multicoloured as you would imagine", she said.

She shared her Balamory-inspired house tour with her 78,000 followers on TikTok (@meganowelsh).

It's racked up almost 100,000 views with one social media user saying it "takes them back to childhood memories".

Another wrote: "You’ve made me want to paint all my doors."

A third added: "Your place looks so much fun."

Meanwhile, a fourth chimed in: "I adore the colours of the doors."

Influencer Megan returned to TV screens earlier this year as reality show The Agency: Unfiltered's second season aired on BBC Scotland.

The new series once again followed Aquarius Creative, Scotland's largest influencer agency, its founders Kirsten Cameron and Amy Moore, and their clients.

Since airing, series one and two of the show have now reached a combined total of over one million streams.

Kirsten said: "We’re very humbled by the reaction to the series. I think its success lies in its ability to share the authentic side of the influencing world. It reveals the reality behind the posts."

Amy added: "It means so much to us that audiences are coming to it in such high numbers and resonating so much with them.

"We never anticipated the series to achieve such success, so to see both series achieve over 1 million streams is genuinely amazing.”

The Agency: Unfiltered's first and second season are available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
