A Loose Women star will cut the ribbon on a brand-new retirement community in Norfolk later this month. 

Janet Street-Porter is set to lead the grand opening of Waveney Place, a 60-home development for the retired, in Harleston on September 21. 

The former newspaper editor will hold a talk on her life as "one of Britain's most prominent media personalities" and tell stories about her career before performing a ceremonial ribbon cutting.

In 2019, the television personality revealed she had moved to Thurlton in Norfolk in search of a "good life in the countryside".
