7 Up original Jackie Bassett has opened up about a major change in her life in the 70 Up finale.
Jackie reveals she has left her home in Scotland behind for a fresh start on the coast in Norfolk.
The move comes more than a decade after the death of her ex-partner Ian, who was knocked over and killed by a car.

Jackie and her sons were devastated by the tragedy, and she later reflected on Ian’s death in both 56 Up and 64 Up.
The mum-of-three has now relocated to Norfolk in search of “peace”. She has also found love again with a familiar face.
7 Up’s Jackie moves to Norfolk
Jackie will reveal her major life update in the much-anticipated Up finale, 70 Up. The two-part documentary will give fans one final update from the participants before the show comes to an end.
Jackie will be seen enjoying the sea air in Norfolk before inviting cameras into her new home.
“I’ve moved down to Norfolk,” Jackie will explain. “The major reason for that is I needed peace for myself. The sunshine helps and makes me feel better.
“Overall, I think it’s just made me happier in total. It’s not just one aspect of my life that is better.”
