Grimacing man rages 'it's an absolute mess - disgusting!' after BBC home makeover from hell that 'couldn't be any worse'
A grimacing man raged 'it's an absolute mess!' after a 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.'

Helen Flanagan strips down to blue lingerie as she opens up about cellulite and losing confidence in her body
Helen Flanagan stripped down to her underwear as she opened up about losing confidence in her looks in a new Instagram video on Friday. The Coronation Street star, 34, has become known for showing off her enviable physique in lingerie shoots over the years. But as she got ready for a night at the theatre, Helen revealed she's lost confidence in her figure in recent months after noticing 'cellulite'. Filming a 'get ready with me' for her fans, the stunner initially sported a pink set of pyjamas before stripping down to a sky blue lingerie set. 'My weight goes up and down,' she explained. 'It depends on my love life and how stressed I am.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. As she stunned in the skimpy lingerie, Helen then spoke about how she was pleased to have been asked to help edit the bra she was sporting. 'Even though sometimes you don't feel so confident or toned, just got for it,' the Corrie star added. 'Even though I've got cellulite and my body isn't as toned as it used to be, I just thought, "you know what Helen go for it, you only live once."' Helen later showed off her final look for the evening, with the beauty letting her blonde locks down with a denim blue button-up dress ready for her night out with a friend. The model's latest Instagram post comes days after she was pictured partying with Wayne Linker at the notorious O Beach Ibiza club. Following a heavy night, Helen shared her hungover state with her followers saying: 'I am really hungover, I am like a lizard. 'I am not drinking for a long time. I know I will feel better tomorrow. I have the school run tomorrow. 'Oh my god. I literally got in at six in the morning'. Helen later showed off her final look for the evening, with the beauty letting her blonde locks down with a denim blue button-up dress ready for her night out with a friend It came on the same week the 34-year-old model dramatically cut the asking price of her six bedroom luxury mansion on the outskirts of Bolton from £1.5million to £1,195,000. Admitting she's 'really struggling financially', Helen had initially listed the property spanning more than 5,000 feet in May. The mother-of-three had reportedly been left 'broke' following her split from ex Scott Sinclair, with Helen even claiming she barely had enough money to pay a £10 cab fare to get her son Charlie, three, to nursery. Helen and Scott separated in 2022 after 13 years together, before she moved on with Robbie Talbot, 45, only to split last month after a year of dating. On her failed romance with ex Scott, Helen revealed she was the one to call time on their relationship. She said they 'were always quietly breaking up and then getting back together' until one day she called it quits for good. Helen told The Sun: 'In the end, it was me who decided [to break up]. I'll always be sad it didn't work out, and we still have love for each other, but we're happier apart.' Speaking to Charlotte Dawson on her Naughty Corner podcast, Helen said: 'I still love him very much, I care about him deeply, but we don't like each other. 'We don't like each other at all, we don't get on. I do know that Scott - he'd never admit it - cares about me too and he does love me. 'But I'm so done, I could never have another relationship again where we would always be bickering. I haven't got another argument in me. 'As women we try and do anything we can to make it work with the father of your children and I did. But I think for me if I was in a relationship with someone else it would have to be easy because I haven't got the energy in me again, I've done all that with the father of my kids.' Helen went onto say co-parenting is 'hilarious' as she revealed the pair try and avoid each other so they don't 'argue' in front of their kids. She continued: 'I've been a single mum for two years now. Co-parenting is hilarious, we were together for 13 years. 'The last time I saw him, I thought it was quite funny, I was taking the p*** out of him because he had a bucket hat on. I think he was trying not to laugh. 'He lives in Bath and I live in North Manchester so its about five hours and we meet in Birmingham to exchange things and the kids. 'He's throwing things in my boot and I just started taking the mickey out of his bucket hat to lighten the mood. 'We just try and not be in the same house together because the children are the priority and I want a good environment for them and I don't want them to see us arguing.'

Terrified Gemma Collins calls cops & beefs up security after man sends ‘nasty and menacing' letter to her home
SHOCKED TV star Gemma Collins rang cops in terror after getting an 'abusive and menacing' letter at her home. The former Towie star, 44, is said to be petrified by the sender's hate note. 4 Fearing a kidnap plot like the one targeting TV presenter Holly Willoughby, Gemma phoned officers who then visited her home in the Essex countryside. The worried star, who has been battling pneumonia, has since beefed up security with 24-hour guard dog patrols. Family and friends have kept her company. A source told The Sun on Sunday: 'Gemma was left shaken and very scared for her safety after she received a threatening and abusive letter from a man expressing his extreme dislike for her and using menacing language. 'It was really nasty and made reference to tracking her down, so she called the police straight away. 'It was alarming that this man knew her home address, but she already upped security and has round-the-clock guard dogs and has cameras onsite. 'She is always incredibly friendly with all her fans and happy to stop for pictures and a chat so to have someone send such an unpleasant letter has really shocked her. 'She was very grateful to the police, who are taking it very seriously and have given her practical advice on how to handle herself. It is an ongoing investigation. 'She thought about what had happened to Holly Willoughby and her kidnap threat ordeal so didn't want to take any chances. 'Police are confident they are going to track down the culprit.' Gemma, who lives with businessman fiancé Rami Hawash, told a podcast in May how she has had multiple stalkers over the years. They had threatened to kill her and sent 'terrifying' letters to her boutique in Brentwood. Watch hilarious moment Gemma Collins launches bid to become a DAME as she sets sights on royal nod She told how it 'played havoc on her mind' and was the reason she stepped away from front of house work. Gemma said: 'No one would believe the bl**dy crap I've had to deal with. I've had a woman stalker who wrote me a letter in white gloves and wanted to kill me. You know, people would wish me dead. I'd get all sorts at the shop. Weird. 'People are weird. And that's why in a way I came away from my shop in the end.' In 2019 The Sun revealed she had called in police over fears she was being hounded by a stalker. Gemma claimed she had seen a man who previously verbally abused her outside her home over six days. The scares have even made her consider a move away from Essex. 4 Gemma, a contestant in 2019's Dancing On Ice, has previously spoken of her love of the countryside, saying: 'The only way is the Cotswolds for me.' Earlier this month she revealed her battle with pneumonia, showing pictures of herself with a drip in her arm. She said: 'It's shocking, I've had it for over three weeks and had steroids given to me by my doctor. 'It was DJ Fat Tony's wedding and I had to take them to get through that. But I'm off them now and the sickness is kicking back in. 'It's so frustrating because I normally have so much energy and I'm always loving life. But now I get really breathless really quickly and I feel like I'm dying.' Last week it emerged she is in talks to join I'm A Celebrity: All Stars in South Africa — despite quitting the Australian jungle after just three days of the main series in 2014. Essex Police said they were aware of Gemma's report. 4
