On December 1, he was given a room at the Rams Lodge in Fallowfield - one of the B&Bs used by Manchester council as a last resort to house the city's homeless. After reading Kim's harrowing story, Mitchell felt compelled to reach out to the Manchester Evening News , and share his own distressing experience of living in a B&B this Christmas.
Mitchell says he has desperately looked into other options, but with the average cost to rent a property in the city peaking at £1,127 per month, he says he doesn't stand a chance.
