<p>For the season finale of Round The Houses, Sarah's firmly in the heart of Zone 1 in London, meeting the fabulous June Sarpong in her equally amazing (temporary) home, The Library in Covent Garden.</p> <p>June goes right back to the beginning for Sarah, talking about her family's dramatic move from Ghana to Walthamstow when she was 5 and how she became Kiss FM's teen presenter star after doing work experience there aged just 15. She reflects on the opposition from some of her family about her choice of career - and how she won them over with her success. June also explains why it's so difficult for British people to adapt to the dating style in the US, and jokes that drove her back to London after nearly a decade in LA and New York. </p> <p>June also talks frankly about her views on having a family and about why she froze her eggs in her early 30s.</p> <p>This is the final episode of series 1 of Round The Houses!

<p>Sarah Beeny is in Camden Town talking rock'n'roll, divorce and the power of an organic lifestyle with model, TV personality, entrepreneur and recent survivor of Celebrity Island Jo Wood.</p> <p>As the former wife of Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, Jo lived in New York, LA and London with him before their divorce in 2009. Her home - a beautiful four storey townhouse - is a tribute to her amazing unique style and everything has a tale to tell: from shelves made of reclaimed wood from Southend Pier, antique dolls originally made by her mother and an entire room full of fabulous Ossie Clark, Jean Muir and Biba dresses dating back to the 1960s.</p> <p>Jo reflects on balancing wild parties with Ronnie and their friends with the school run, how her divorce meant she had to be truly independent for the first time - and how her children reacted to her new-found love of partying in her 50s.</p>
