Sian Astley also told a news site she is ‘really rubbish with money’ during a previous career as a presenter on TV property shows. Nigel Farage’s party unveiled Astley – whose first name is pronounced ‘cyan’ rather than ‘shan’ – as its candidate to replace Andy Burnham a week after the Makerfield by-election. She has previously appeared as a property and renovation expert on a number of BBC TV shows, and hosted Half Built Home for Channel 5 in 2012. Posts on her social media page sug
