FRUGAL FIND I'm a Brit who's chuffed to have got a house in Bulgaria for £8k…but trolls say they've seen 'better homes on Shameless' A BRITISH couple are chuffed to have bought a house in Bulgaria for just £8,000. But not only have people described the huge property as looking 'rough', but one mean troll has even claimed to have seen 'better houses on the Chatsworth Estate on Shameless.'

As he took a step inside his new pad, Maxwell was pleased and felt 'very lucky' that his bargain home has UPVC doors and windows everywhere. He showed off the 'big hallway' and the 'original coving' which is still in place around the lights and walls. He described the first bedroom as being in a 'good state', as he admitted: 'Seen a lot worse on the market in Bulgaria for the money.' Advertisement Maxwell, who plans to take his family over to Bulgaria to renovate the house and eventually become as 'self-sustainable as possible', recognised that despite the electrics being 'half done', he wasn't bothered as he beamed: 'But for £8k, I'll deal with it.' After showing off the huge bedrooms and the large kitchen space, Maxwell gave a quick glance in the bathroom, which was complete with a bath, toilet, sink and radiator. Thrilled with the bathroom, he beamed: 'We're very lucky to get this because a lot of the other houses that we've seen, there was absolutely nothing - every single room needed doing. 'It's all plumbed in, ready to go - needs a bit of love, a bit of TLC and a clean, but that's what we're here for.' Advertisement Not only does the property have three bedrooms, but there's also a 'massive' barn with 'endless possibilities', and a garage on the land too. As he showed off the outside space, which is 'very overgrown' with 'so much c**p everywhere', Maxwell acknowledged: 'All needs bringing back to life - I can't wait to do that.' I ditched the UK to live in South Africa - cocktails cost pennies, rent is £430 and I can work by the pool Big divide The TikTok clip, which was recently posted online under the username @maxwellmydailys, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and amassed 1.5 million views. Not only this, but it's also racked up 24,700 likes, 2,339 comments and 2,760 saves. Advertisement Moving house hacks 1. Declutter Before You Pack Sort through your belongings and get rid of anything you no longer need. Donate, sell, or recycle items to lighten your load. 2. Create an Inventory Make a list of all your items. This helps keep track of everything and ensures nothing gets lost in the move. 3. Use Quality Packing Materials Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape. This will protect your belongings during the move. 4. Label Everything Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This makes unpacking much easier and more organized. 5. Pack a 'First Day' Box Include essentials like toiletries, a change of clothes, snacks, and important documents. This will keep you from rummaging through boxes on your first day. 6. Take Photos of Electronics Setup Before unplugging your electronics, take photos of the wiring setup. This will make it easier to reconnect everything at your new place. 7. Use Suitcases for Heavy Items Pack books and other heavy items in rolling suitcases. This makes them easier to transport and reduces the risk of injury. 8. Colour-Code Your Boxes Use different coloured stickers or markers for each room. This will help movers quickly identify where each box should go in your new home. But social media users were totally divided by Maxwell's £8,000 property - while some thought he was 'lucky' to get such a great deal, others described it as looking 'rough.' One user beamed: 'What a steal! It's amazing what you can get here for a good bargain! Wish you all the best!' A second gasped: 'That is one of the best deals I have seen!!!!! LUCKY.' Don't mean to disappoint you, but this is too high of a price for this property. Source: I am Bulgarian TikTok user Whilst someone else shared: 'The house is mint for that price.'

Sammi Hanratty would ‘die' for a ‘Shameless' spinoff
Despite being a busy bee, Sammi Hanratty is open to revisiting her old stomping grounds. The actress, 29, starred as Kassidi Gallagher, the love interest-turned-wife of Ethan Cutkosky's Carl Gallagher during Season 8 of the R-rated series 'Shameless.' Kassidi was killed in Season 9 by a fellow cadet of Carl's at his military school. However, that isn't stopping Hanratty from thinking outside the box about the possibility of reuniting with her 'Shameless' family on screen. Advertisement 8 Samantha Hanratty attends the 2025 Astra TV Awards at SLS Hotel. Getty Images 'I'd love a fan fiction of a Kassidi and Carl spinoff,' she exclusively told The Post at the 2025 Astra Awards red carpet. 'I'm pretty sure I died but if there's a will there's a way. So I think it would be fun. Even if we did a film or something. Like a mini Frank and Monica. So Ethan. let's do it!' The Showtime dramedy, which ran for 11 seasons from 2011 to 2021, followed the lives of the dysfunctional Gallagher family, which included William H. Macy as the deadbeat patriarch Frank Gallagher.

Getty Images Along with Cutkosky, 25, the Gallagher family included Emmy Rossum as Fiona, Jeremy Allen White as Lip, Cameron Monaghan as Ian, Emma Kenney as Debbie and Christian Isaiah as Liam. Shanola Hampton and Steve Howey starred as the couple next door, Vee and Kevin. Hanratty still sees her fellow costars from time to time.

I see Steve Howey every now and then, which is great.' 8 Sammi Hanratty as Kassidi and Ethan Cutkosky as Carl Gallagher. Showtime 'I feel like we all run into each other every now and then,' she went on. 'That will forever hold a special place in my heart to be on that show. I get so excited when I get to see any of the cast.' Now, the 'Zoe Gone' alum has bonded with a new set of costars while starring as young Misty on the Showtime thriller 'Yellowjackets.' Advertisement 'It's been amazing. I think the best thing about the show is that it really does feel like a team,' Hanratty gushed about being a part of the series. 'And sometimes I feel like I really am the equipment manager just rooting everybody on. Just honestly, everyone is so talented. I feel like a sponge walking onto set just to like absorb everyone's amazingness and learning so much. I just wish I could work with the current day cast more if ever. I never get to. I wish I could.' 8 Sammi Hanratty (L) and Ruby Modine arrive at the Emmy For Your Consideration Event for Showtime's 'Shameless.'

'Honestly, with Melanie, Christine, Tawny, Lauren and Simone — they are all moms,' divulged Hanratty. 'And that's a big thing for me — is that I'm a new mom and just getting to see them walk the walk. It's just inspiring to see working moms kill it and do amazing work.

It's scary because you feel like you're walking into a family gathering and you're like, 'Hey! I don't want to disrupt anything but also, hi I'm here,'' she recalled while on the Lightweights podcast at the time. 'I was once again it was one of those shows that I felt like I was so welcomed. Everyone had open arms.' 8 Sammi Hanratty arrives at the Emmy For Your Consideration Event for Showtime's 'Shameless.' Getty Images Advertisement Three years prior, Hanratty reflected on taking on the role of Kassidi — who was codependent to Carl, with their toxic relationship taking many crazy turns. At one point, Kassidi wore a vile of his blood, cut up his military clothes and faked a suicide attempt in order to pressure him into marrying her. 'The obvious is that she does crave love and she does crave attention,' Hanratty told Cosmopolitan in 2018. 'Just because she comes from a wealthy family, doesn't necessarily mean that she had happiness or any sort of love in her life. And so her view on a lot of things are extremely warped.' 'It's definitely been mixed emotions,' she added about fan reactions. 'For the most part I feel like people who watch 'Shameless' love to hate certain characters. So she's definitely been enjoyable to hate. But there are people who are very protective over Ethan [Cutkosky]'s character, Carl, and so there are a lot of girls who are like, genuinely pissed.'
