Worst House On The Street viewers blast hosts for 'utter nonsense' advice - swiping 'I wouldn't let them into my home' after attack on property 'which looked fine in the first place'
Worst House On The Street viewers blasted the hosts for their 'utter nonsense' advice and swiped 'I wouldn't let them into my home' after the latest episode.
Wednesday's instalment of the Channel 4 property renovation show featured Lianne, who lived with her brother, sister-in-law and father from Leicester.
Lianne and her father hoped to move into another home and out of the newlywed couple's house, but wanted help sprucing it up first.
Expert Stuart Douglas said: 'Their house isn't as ancient as the castle, but it is a 1950s house.'
His sister, Scarlette, added: 'Correct, it's old. It needs a lot of work.'
Host Scarlette went on: 'This is the 1950s shabby looking detached three-bed house on the outskirts of Leicester that's in desperately need of our help.
'It has plenty of potential but right now it's tired, dated, and bringing the street down.'
However, some viewers took issue with the pair's advice and felt the house didn't need too much work.
Many posted on X: 'I don't understand, it's hardly the worst house like they're saying, it looks fine from the outside and not unlike all the other houses.'
'No visible pendant in the dining room means rewire the house? Oh good lord, this pair! Utter nonsense. #worsthouseonthestreet.'
'These guys wanting everyone to believe a traditional house is ugly… I wouldn't walk past that house and think rah that house is rough, come on guys fix up!'
'They're struggling to make this house seem awful when it's not really that bad!'
'I wouldn't actually let Stuart and Scarlette in after that first visit with all their opinions about splashes of colour and doom talk.'
'These two professionals are awful. They don't give any real sound advice or help. And they try and force their opinion on people. It's not your home!'
However, some viewers took issue with the pair's advice and felt the house didn't need too much work
Lianne had purchased the house for £212,000 a few years ago and had £25,000 spare to renovate it.
During the episode, Douglas and Scarlette shared tips on how to up-cycle items and other budget-friendly techniques.
In the end, they managed to complete the transformation within budget and the value of the property increased to £292,000.

'They stayed in touch sporadically and would bump into each other at events and their messages got pretty flirty. 'Some were seen by mutual friends. 'She would call him 'D' in texts and it became an open secret among their circles. 'There is no suggestion anything sexual happened, but it's fair to say there was a spark between them.'
