Grimacing man rages 'it's an absolute mess - disgusting!' after BBC home makeover from hell that 'couldn't be any worse'
Your Home In Their Hands, presented by Celia Sawyer, aired on our screens for one series between 2014 and 2015 on BBC One.
And couple John and Rachel Geoghegan appeared on Your Home In Their Hands 10 years ago.
The pair had opposing preferences, with Rachel wanting more colour, while John was a fan of more plain interiors.
At the end of the episode interior designer Celia Sawyer took them around their new home - and they were very pleased with the living room.
However things took a nasty turn when they were shown their new bedroom.

John couldn't hide how unimpressed he was with the interior moments after opening their eyes.
Celia asked: 'What do you think Rachel?... You've got your colour!'
After a very awkward silence she replied: 'Yeah I do. I like the wardrobes and...'
John chimed in: 'Nah it's too much. For me it's too busy. I wouldn't have done anything like it and I don't like it.
'You're supposed to be able to go to sleep in a bedroom and it's like a kid's play area.
'I think it looks horrendous. It doesn't look anything like a bedroom.
'Sorry it's a big thumbs down from me. It's hideous. I think its even too much for Rachel if she were to tell the truth.'
Celia was keen to find out her thoughts and asked: 'Is it, Rachel?'
John didn't hold back and told the presenter: 'Nah it's too much. For me it's too busy. I wouldn't have done anything like it and I don't like it'
Rachel sheepishly confessed: 'I do like... I do like the bed and the wardrobes...
'I like the theme of it.'
Celia added: 'So overall you quite like it?'
'Hmm... yeah,' Rachel said.
A very unimpressed John simply chimed in: 'It's rank. I don't like it at all. Definitely not.'
Celia tried to change the mood and told him: 'I think Rachel likes it though, John?
'I know you're telling her she doesn't, but I think she does!'
John told the presenter: 'I'll leave it to her.'
Celia hit back: 'But you're answering for her! I haven't heard much out of Rachel's mouth actually. Come on, Rachel!'
'I think it'll grow on us, I like, I like the bed and the wardrobes, I did ask for colour,' Rachel said.
John told the presenter: 'If Rachel likes it, so be it.'
'So if Rachel likes it, can you keep it the same?' Celia asked.
And John told her: 'Not for long.'
Celia then questioned John and said: 'So you were going to accept what Rachel wanted, you said if she's happy she's fine, what you're saying now, it isn't fine?'
John didn't hold back with his opinion and told the host: 'It's rank. Horrible. Nah. Sorry. It's not for me.'
Celia wanted to know if he had a message for the designer, to which he said: 'Don't touch the other room.'
After taking a moment and reflecting away from the bedroom, Rachel said: 'We took a chance when we handed the keys over. She's done colour. What I asked for. It might grow on you.'
John simply replied: 'Fungus grows - that's horrible.'
Many rushed to share their thoughts on whether Rachel actually liked the new look, while others couldn't contain their laughter.
'The first room was horrendous as well and I do believe the wife hates the bedroom as well. She looks like she is holding back the tears.'
'"It might grow on you." "Fungus grows." [laughing emojis].'
'"I've not heard much from Rachel" Rachel can't speak as she's holding tears [laughing emojis].'
'Lmaoooo 'So, What message do you have for the designer?' — 'Dont touch the other room'.'
Many rushed to the comments section on YouTube to share their thoughts on the moment that happened back in 2015
'The level of second hand embarrassment here was overwhelming [laughing emojis].'
'Rachel looks like she's holding back tears. I agree with the husband. I think Rachel's too polite because she did ask for colour.'
'I'd LOVE to know what happened after the cameras stopped rolling. What the couple did next?'
The synopsis of Your Home In Their Hands reads: 'Makeover show in which desperate homeowners hand over their door keys to amateur interior designers, hoping they can solve their design dilemmas.'

Bradley Walsh reveals The Chase 'ban' and says 'I'd be fired'
The Chase host Bradley Walsh has been presenting the ITV gameshow since it first aired in 2009 and appeared on BBC's The One Show ahead of the new series. Bradley Walsh has cautioned he'd be "fired" from The Chase if he implemented any major alterations. The cherished host, 65, has fronted the ITV quiz show since it launched in 2009, and is set to grace our screens again with a fresh series. Nevertheless, Bradley has assured viewers it won't differ from the usual format. Whilst appearing on The One Show tonight (Friday 15 August), Bradley faced questions about his hectic timetable. "You've got The Chase coming up, you've got Beat The Chasers as well, anything different we can expect from these series?" presenter Clara Amfo enquired, reports Bristol Live. Bradley promptly responded: "No they're the same, they're what you see on the tin. "I'm not allowed to do anything different, I think I'd get fired if I did anything different. "You've got to stick to the rules, and stick to the format." He continued: "You can have a laugh in between." This follows Bradley confessing he doesn't object to being perceived as "old and grumpy" whilst discussing his altered attitude towards the projects he accepts given his packed schedule. He revealed: "People say to me 'you never stop working', but here's the thing, and I tell every young performer this, 'if you enjoy the job you do, you will never do a day's work in your life'. "It's as simple as that. I try and have as much time as I possibly can off, but I just love what I do." The Gladiators host went on to tell My Weekly magazine: "As you know, the older you get, the more belligerent you get. I'm 65 now. "Do you know what age and experience brings? Freedom. Because you can say, 'Absolutely not. No, I'm not doing that. I don't want to go there'. "And people will just remark, 'He's just old and grumpy', well, that's fine by me." The Chase is available to watch on ITVX. The One Show airs weekdays from 7pm on BBC One and iPlayer

BBC show that 'cost £30,000,000 axed after just one season'
Survivor has reportedly been cancelled by the BBC after just one season on the air. The new version of the reality show hit screens in 2023 in a primetime Saturday night slot with comedian Joel Dommett at the helm – and reportedly cost the broadcaster £30,000,000 to produce. Survivor saw 18 people compete in a series of challenges on a desert island to win £100,000, just as the original noughties show had tasked contestants with. Yet the programme struggled to attract viewers. Survivor was reportedly in jeopardy as soon as after the first episode aired on the BBC, because it only attracted 2.6 million viewers on average, despite airing in the post-Strictly Saturday slot. The ratings were around two million less than the numbers Michael McIntyre's The Wheel pulled in the week prior – which allegedly prompted crisis talks among TV execs at the time. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video There had been rumours the show was on the chopping block last year and it has now been reported that Survivor is no more. Joel told The Sun: 'It just shows you how nothing is a given in telly. I thought Survivor would be huge. I thought that would be my job for the next 20 years. 'I've done shows and thought that's not coming back and it keeps coming back and then you do something like Survivor, which you think is guaranteed and it doesn't come back.' More Trending Joel told Metro last year he remained hopeful Survivor would return for a second season – although he admitted it needed an overhaul. He said: 'Fingers crossed… there's a lot of stuff that we would do slightly differently. Like with every first series, it's hard, so I think a second series would be amazing. 'Everyone seems to really love it, so I'm excited that – hopefully – [we get to] do another one.' View More » Metro contacted the BBC for comment. Got a story?

Lewis Capaldi reveals Justin Bieber 'ghosted' him after pair enjoyed wild night out at star-studded bash
Lewis Capaldi has revealed Justin Bieber 'ghosted' him after they spent a wild night out together at a star-studded bash. The singer, 28, told Capital Breakfast's Chris Stark that despite the pair exchanging numbers on the night, Justin, 31, failed to respond to his message the morning after. He said: 'It was amazing, there was famous people, Charli xcx was there, Justin Bieber was there. 'Justin Bieber comes over and said "hey man, what's going on?" And I said, "you don't remember my name?" And he said, "of course I do, you're Lewis Capaldi". 'Me and Bieber had this super night together, like really lovely evening together. We didn't spend the night together, but we hung out and I'm like 'me and the Biebs are gonna be best pals, this is huge'. 'And he's like "man make sure I get your number tomorrow". And I was like "me and the Biebs, this is huge". 'I text him maybe the most sucking up his a*** text. I said, "Just wanted to jump on bro, last night was so special, great guy, so nice to hang out with you, such a dude", blah blah all this stuff. 'He likes it and doesn't reply. So if you're out there Bieber, wherever you are, text me back please. Bieber aired me.' Elsewhere in Lewis' first radio interview in two years, the hitmaker touched on his career hiatus. 'I've done a lot of growing up in the last year an a bit', he told Chris as they caught up over a pint of Guinness at London's The Devonshire. He said: 'Weirdly, I felt like the last two years I've had off, I was getting better but I was also kind of having my uni experience. Because I went and toured while everyone was at uni. 'There's times where I kicked the a*** out of it. Like going out and having nights in here and nights out in London, because I moved to London as well and I was getting to grips with that and stuff.' Lewis' comeback tour sold out in seconds last month, with disappointed fans furious at Ticketmaster for 'freezing as they reached the front of the queue '. The adored Scotsman is set to perform 17 dates across the UK and Ireland in September as he returns to the stage two years after taking a break for his mental health. 'He likes it and doesn't reply.

In an emotional update, Lewis revealed he would not be adding any further dates 'for now' so as not to push himself too far following his return to the stage. Sharing that he was adding extra dates this morning, Lewis wrote: '1 second past 9am and you've got every single ticket in the baskets [mind blown emoji]. 'Genuinely blows my mind to be saying this but adding new dates rn that'll go on sale in a minute, will be on the same link so keep checking x.' Just one hour later, Lewis shared a post revealing that both the original and extra dates were sold out. 'Honestly didn't expect this at all…' Lewis wrote.

'There won't be any other shows for now, want to make sure I don't push myself too far too soon. Means more than ya know how many of you were waiting to get tickets this morning x.' Fans of the star who failed to secure tickets directed their fury at Ticketmaster on Thursday morning as they slammed the site for crashing. They wrote: 'I GIVE UP trying get Lewis Capaldi tickets now!! In the waiting room by 8.42am… at the front of the queue by 9.02am… message comes up saying that ones sold out but an extra date has been added so get into that queue at 25,000th, it crashes… Zero tickets for a THIRD DAY!'; 'Losing the ticketmaster war for lewis capaldi is quite humbling actually,'; 'Birmingham Lewis Capaldi tickets sold out in 6 seconds,'; 'Ticketmaster count ur days!!

It came almost exactly two years after he broke down on the very same stage, prompting a hiatus during which Lewis was forced to focus on improving both his physical and mental health. But after taking some time away from the limelight and the 'pressures' of being a star, Capaldi says that he's now 'doing much better' and is no longer taking the antidepressant Sertraline. 'I'm not on antidepressants anymore,' Lewis - who marked his return with the new track Survive which has soared to Number 1 - told fans on a livestream. 'It was f*****g hard to get off it. You could say I survived getting off Sertraline but let's not get into that. This is happy stuff, I'm trying to share less.' He later added: 'I've felt the best I've felt in a long time through therapy. 'I think I will always be an anxious person, accepting that's always going to be there for me is a big thing. It's about how I respond to anxiety.'
