A YOUNG woman was thrilled to get her own council home but trolls were quick to try and ruin it for her. Amber Portia, 20, will be moving into her new-build council house soon and took to social media to show it off. The council flat, which was in a newly built property, had a huge bedroom, along with a bathroom with a bath and shower, and an open-plan kitchen and living room.

Amber said: "First look at my council flat as a 20-year-old who lives on their own.". "Bedroom, massive, really nice daylight in it. "Sexy little bathroom with a bath, in a new build. Madness!". There was also a huge airing cupboard for extra storage and an open-planned kitchen and living room.

"Kitchen is absolutely huge," she continued. "You've got space for a washing machine, oven, fridge, freezer, and built-in bins.". In total Amber said the place would cost her just £97 a week in rent and she was chuffed to start her life in the new home.

But people were quick to try and ruin it for Amber with one writing: "Meanwhile I can't get one for 6 years.". Another penned: "For those of us working day in, day out - you're welcome.". "I work full time but thank you," said Amber. In another video, Amber explained her situation a little bit more adding that she was a care leaver so the council had to home her.

She said: "As a care leaver, you get a council flat a lot easier than a lot of other people cause they do not want to make you homeless, cause they're your legal guardian.". While many stay in care until 18, there is the option to stay until 21, hence Amber has her home now at 20 years old.
