During a tour of her apartment, the 25-year-old showed off the mix of colors she used for the doors: 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 belted out the theme tune during her video.

Parents across the country will fondly remember the program 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 schoolteacher Miss Hoolie.

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

Four years old when the show first aired, YouTuber and podcast host Megan clearly still has fond memories of it – and of the colorful houses.

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

“There’s not really a color scheme, it’s a bit multi-coloured as you would think,” she said.

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

It has been viewed almost 100,000 times, with one social media user saying it “takes them back to childhood memories”.

Another wrote: “You made me want to paint all my doors.”

A third added: “Your house looks so nice.”

Meanwhile, a fourth said: “Love the colors of the doors.”

Influencer Megan returned to TV screens earlier this year when the second season of reality show The Agency: Unfiltered aired on BBC Scotland.

The new series followed again Aquarius CreativeScotland’s largest influencer agency, founders Kirsten Cameron and Amy Moore, and their clients.

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

Kirsten said: “We are very humbled by the response 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 messages.”

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

“We never expected the series to be such a success, so it’s truly amazing to see both series reach over 1 million streams.”

The first and second seasons of The Agency: Unfiltered can be viewed on BBC iPlayer.
