A dad-of-two whose DIY tutorials have proved popular on social media is trying to empower others to upskill so they can tackle basic household jobs.

Dean Commodore publishes videos which help teach his nearly half a million followers on TikTok and Instagram how to perform tasks such as bleeding a radiator and hanging a mirror.

DIY Dad, as he is known online, started making videos while renovating his first family home in Ipswich, creating a series called Dad Showed Me.

"In bygone eras, dads and uncles would show young people how things are done," said the 52-year-old.

"My followers say that isn't the case anymore, and that is why I am stepping in."
