A HIT TV show is looking for families who need help decluttering.
Sort Your Life Out, a popular BBC series, is inviting households to join its upcoming series.
The show, hosted by Stacey Solomon, helps families declutter and reorganise their homes.
A team of makeover experts assist participants in evaluating their possessions, encouraging them to let go of items they no longer need with the aim of transforming living spaces into more functional environments.
The show combines home makeovers, organisation, humour, and personal storytelling to highlight the emotional and practical aspects of decluttering.
A spokesperson for the show said: "Would you like your home totally transformed by Stacey and her expert team?
"Imagine if the entire contents of your house were laid out before you, so you could decide what to keep, and what to lose.
"Through a life-changing declutter, supersize spring clean and ingenious carpentry solutions, this process will bring joy back into your home.
"Stacey and her team of organising fanatics - made up of Dilly Carter, Rob Bent and Iwan Carrington - can help you let go of the things you don't need, and streamline what you do.
"Plus, they'll create space-saving storage and put systems in place to save you time and money in the future.

BBC Slams David Walliams' 'Unacceptable' Nazi Salute During Comedy Recording

David Walliams has been condemned by the BBC after he allegedly performed a Nazi salute during the recording of hit comedy panel show Would I Lie To You?. The BBC said the gesture was 'completely unacceptable' and apologized to audience members if they were offended by the incident during the filming of a Christmas special. Walliams' rep has been contacted for comment.

Sebastian Topan, a Times Radio producer who was in the audience, said Little Britain star Walliams twice made the gesture during the recording at Pinewood. 'Some other panellist was talking when David Walliams started doing the Nazi salute,' Topan told BBC News. 'I was shocked at what I had seen.' He added that host Rob Brydon 'wanted to get past it as quickly as he could,' and Walliams' gesture did not amuse other Would I Lie To You? players. 'It was like an elephant in the room after that as the incident was early on in the recording and so the remainder of the show felt weird,' Topan added. A spokesperson for Banijay UK, which owns Would I Lie To You? producer Zeppotron, said the footage would be cut from the final show. 'Any attempt at humour regarding this deeply offensive gesture, whether broadcast or not, is completely unacceptable in any context,' the spokesperson said. 'It was immediately acknowledged during the recording that this segment would not be broadcast under any circumstances and we apologise to those who were at the recording for any offence caused.' The BBC said: 'The use of such an offensive gesture is completely unacceptable and we apologise to all at the recording for the offence caused.' Walliams was a Britain's Got Talent judge for a decade, but a 2022 Guardian newspaper investigation revealed that he made disrespectful comments about two contestants. He later sued and settled with producer Fremantle over the transcript leak to the Guardian. Best of Deadline 'Stick' Release Guide: When Do New Episodes Come Out?

David Walliams ‘gave Nazi salutes on BBC show'

David Walliams reportedly gave two Nazi salutes during the filming of a BBC show. During recording of the Would I Lie To You? Christmas special earlier this week, the comedian allegedly made the gestures while his teammate Helen George, told a story. The Call the Midwife star was trying to convince the other team she had sprained her wrist 'from waving too much' during the Strictly Come Dancing tour. While demonstrating the wave that had caused her injury, she was encouraged to make a grander gesture, at which point Walliams, 53, is reported to have joined in until he made a Nazi salute. The best-selling children's author was reportedly scolded by Rob Brydon, the show's host. However, as the show went on, Walliams is said to have made the gesture again. One audience member said the salutes had landed 'awkwardly' in the room, telling The Times: 'It was all very weird. 'There were gasps from the audience and the other panellists all looked very uncomfortable.' It is believed that there is no chance the footage will be broadcast. Walliams has not been on television since he left ITV's Britain's Got Talent in 2022 after he was found to have made insulting comments about contestants. He was one of the UK's best-known television personalities before it was revealed he had made a derogatory remark about a performer who made a jibe at him. Walliams also made a sexually explicit remark about a different woman who was auditioning for the ITV show in January 2020 at the London Palladium. At the time, he apologised but insisted they had been 'private conversations and – like most conversations with friends – were never intended to be shared'. A spokesman for Banijay UK, which owns the show's production company, said: 'Any attempt at humour regarding this deeply offensive gesture, whether broadcast or not, is completely unacceptable in any context. 'It was immediately acknowledged during the recording that this segment would not be broadcast under any circumstances and we apologise to those who were at the recording for any offence caused.' A BBC spokesman said: 'The use of such an offensive gesture is completely unacceptable and we apologise to all at the recording for the offence caused.' David Walliams' representatives were approached for comment. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

David Walliams ‘shocks' audience with two Nazi salutes at Would I Lie to You? recording

David Walliams has sparked outcry after 'giving two Nazi salutes' during a recording of BBC series Would I Lie To You?'s Christmas special. The former Little Britain star, who quit ITV series Britain's Got Talent when he was caught making lewd comments about contestants, is said to have shocked host Rob Brydon, his fellow celebrity panellists as well as audience members with the gesture. Walliams reportedly gave the offensive salutes while filming the 2025 Christmas special earlier this week. It's believed they occurred after an anecdote that was shared by Call the Midwife star Helen George, who was a contestant on Walliams' team, led by captain Lee Mack. Multiple outlets report that the incident occurred after George claimed she once sprained her wrist 'from waving too much during the Strictly tour'; the actor toured with the BBC dancing competition in 2016 after competing on the series the previous year. When George tried to convince David Mitchell's opposing team that her statement was true, she was asked to give an example of the wave, with her rival contestants asking her 'to make a grander gesture'. According to an audience member present at the filming, this was when Walliams joined in, allegedly proceeding to do a Nazi salute, which went down 'awkwardly'. Team captain Mack was reportedly left 'distinctly unimpressed' by Walliams' actions. The outlet reports that Brydon immediately 'reprimanded' Walliams – but later on in the round, the controversial star and children's author 'made the gesture a second time'. Journalist Sebastian Topan who was in the audience, told the outlet: 'There were gasps from the audience and the other panellists all looked very uncomfortable,' with another writing on X/Twitter after the recording: 'I didn't have David Walliams doing a Nazi salute at the Would I Lie To You? Christmas taping on my 2025 bingo card.' Topan continued: "I think Rob Brydon wanted to get past it as quickly as he could. David Walliams' teammates looked unsure what to do and were not laughing. 'It was like an elephant in the room after that as the incident was early on in the recording and so the remainder of the show felt weird." A BBC spokesperson told The Independent: 'The use of such an offensive gesture is completely unacceptable and we apologise to all at the recording for the offence caused.' The Independent has also contacted Walliams for comment. A spokesperson for Banijay UK, which oversees the game show's production company Zeppotron, said: 'Any attempt at humour regarding this deeply offensive gesture, whether broadcast or not, is completely unacceptable in any context. 'It was immediately acknowledged during the recording that this segment would not be broadcast under any circumstances and we apologise to those who were at the recording for any offence caused.' Walliams was a judge on Britain's Got Talent from 2012 up until his departure in 2022, when it emerged that he had made sexually explicit and derogatory remarks about some of the contestants during a recording at the London Palladium in January 2020. Walliams's comments were picked up by the microphones on the desk and were seemingly not intended to be heard publicly – and he sued FremantleMedia, the production company that makes BGT, for the leaking of his private remarks. The matter was settled in November 2023. He decided to leave the show after issuing an apology. When the recording of his inappropriate comments was made public in 2022, Walliams told The Independent: 'I would like to apologise to the people I made disrespectful comments about during breaks in filming for Britain's Got Talent in 2020. These were private conversations and – like most conversations with friends – were never intended to be shared. Nevertheless, I am sorry.' Fremantle, while announcing it had reached a settlement with Walliams, issued its own apology, stating: 'We are sincerely sorry that his private conversations when a judge on Britain's Got Talent were published, and the great distress this caused David. 'We have reviewed our production practices on the show to ensure they fully respect the expectations of our talent whilst satisfying the requirements of the show. We have enjoyed a great relationship with David over many years. 'We thank David for being an important part of the Britain's Got Talent family and the enduring success of the show and hope to have opportunities to work with him in the future. We are pleased that we have achieved an amicable resolution of this dispute with David.'
