PARENTS Jackie and Steve McNally had good reason to get shirty when their children painted the outside of their home.

For Newcastle fans Emmett, ten and Kieron, six, had the house painted in the black and white stripes of Newcastle United.

To finish the job, they had the family name painted at the top, just like a Premier League football shirt.

The mad make-over will be featured later this year in Ulrika Jonsson's Home Alone series where kids are allowed to decorate their parents' homes in their own design.

Jackie said: "I must have been mad to leave the boys in charge. It was a shock when we first came back but the bits we've seen are already growing on me."

Emmett and Kieron won the chance to leave their mark on the family home after their parents agreed to take part in ITV show.

The McNallys' decision to give the children the run of the house will be seen on television later this year.

But the full extent of the damage is being kept under wraps until Home Alone is screened.
