Big Narstie renames Kenwood House for National Lottery campaign

Big Narstie has renamed Kenwood House as part of a new campaign for the National Lottery.
The grime star is one of four big names celebrating 25 years of the National Lottery by giving ticket buyers a chance to see some of the UK’s most beloved heritage sites helped by the fund.
In a video tour of the 17th century home in London, he said: "Welcome to Narstie Manor. Man’s going for the antique look in dis ting. Man’s just getting used to the neighbourhood, you get me? (sic)"
As well as showing everyone round the "baller room" and "big office", the 33-year-old rapper also boasted about the mansion’s incredible library and joked he likes to be able to "look really intelligent".
He added: "That’s my collection of books. Knowledge is power. And also, when people come round to my gaff I look really intelligent."
Joining Narstie in the ‘#ThanksToYou for 25 years’ campaign are ‘Derry Girls’ actress Jamie-Lee O’Donnell and comedian Elis James as they guide fans round Belfast’s SS Domadic and Cardiff Castle respectively.
‘Love Island’ hunk Aston Danyluk – and his mum – has also joined in the fun at Abbotsford as he delivered a tongue-in-cheek video tour.
He quipped: "It’s a little bit old fashioned guys, I’m not gonna lie to you."
He even had an unusual – but innovative – use of the classic hardcover books in the library, as he poked fun at himself and his fitness regimes.
He joked: "Anyone that knows me, knows I’m a massive fan of books. Stick three on top of each other, and you get the perfect elevated push-up."
Ros Kerslake, Chief Executive of the National Lottery Heritage Lottery Fund, added: "Over the past 25 years, money from the National Lottery has quite simply made the UK a better place to live.
"Since 1994, more than 44,000 heritage projects have been awarded over £8 billion via The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Our heritage has been completely transformed. This is our way to say thank you for all your support."
