Woman gasps 'what have we done?!' as she faces disastrous home makeover - while seething husband fumes 'the designer should be locked in a cupboard!'

Daily Mail​21-06-2025

A woman gasped 'what have we done?!' as she faced a disastrous home makeover in a previous episode of Your Home In Their Hands.
The British makeover show, which only aired six episodes across one series, was on our screens between September 2014 and February 2015.
The premises of the programme is that home owners give all their trust to designers to totally transform their pads - however they have no idea that they are just amateur designers.
Although the show was on our screens a decade ago, there are some pretty hilarious moments from it that stand out as iconic television.
The first ever episode, which is presented by Celia Sawyer, sees Kelly and Andy - from Hatfield - want something a little bit different.
Kelly explained that she wants something with colour, whereas her partners would be happy with a 'tin of white paint'.
The British makeover show, which only aired six episodes across one series, was on our screens between September 2014 and February 2015
At the end of the instalment they were shown their brand new home.
As they walked into the bedroom, they both said: 'Oh my God.'
Kelly added: 'What have we done?!'
She continued: 'I don't like the tapestries, I don't like the red ceiling. What about you?'
Celia told Andy: 'You've got to be honest.'
Andy bluntly said: 'I don't like it.'
Celia asked: 'Does this make you think perhaps Kelly's feature wall was actually not that vibrant and bold after all?'
Andy replied: 'Maybe it was quite safe.'
Kelly chimed in: 'At least I only had one wall... This is every wall isn't it?!'
Celia asked if they wanted her to relay any messages back to the designers.
Andy replied: 'I'd like Nick to take control and Kirsty maybe locked in the cupboard.'
Kelly said: 'This is colour overload I think, definitely.
'The red and all the tapestry on the wall is way too much. '
Many have rushed to YouTube to share their thoughts on the segment.
'Just watched a few clips of this show. Every room is horrible.. are they doing this on purpose?'
Many rushed to the comments section on YouTube to share their thoughts - and while mostly were negative, there was also some positive ones
'I feel like they do it on purpose.'
'Oh my God, not an inch of that room that doesn't give me a headache.'
'How the hell did this get the approval of a whole team? I can only imagine a very few selection of 7 year old girls liking this..
'Looks like everything's been wrapped in the foil papers you used to back your books with at school. Awful.'
But others shared that they were a fan of the new interior.
'Not gonna lie I like it lmao. Except for the random things on the walls. '
'I like it.'
'I love the colors.'
It comes after a grimacing man raged 'it's an absolute mess!' after being shown his new bedroom on the TV show.
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.'

Ofcom investigates BBC over Glastonbury hate chant

Ofcom is investigating the BBC after it broadcast a rap group leading chants of 'death to the IDF' on stage at Glastonbury Festival. The watchdog said the BBC 'clearly has questions to answer' over how the performance by Bob Vylan, a rap duo, was shown live on Saturday. Ofcom's statement comes after Avon and Somerset Police launched a review of footage of the set to determine whether any criminal offences were committed. During their appearance at Glastonbury, Bob Vylan chanted 'Free! Free!' the crowd responded 'Palestine!', before leading the crowd in a separate chant of: 'Death, death to the IDF!' Pascal Robinson-Foster, the group's frontman who performs as Bobby Vylan, also launched into a rant about a Jewish record company boss for whom he had worked. An Ofcom spokesman said: 'We are very concerned about the live stream of this performance, and the BBC clearly has questions to answer. 'We have been speaking to the BBC over the weekend and we are obtaining further information as a matter of urgency, including what procedures were in place to ensure compliance with its own editorial guidelines.' 'Crossed a line' Sir Keir Starmer has also condemned the incident as 'appalling hate speech', while the organisers of Glastonbury issued a statement saying that it 'crossed a line'. In a statement issued over the weekend, a BBC spokesman said some of the comments were 'deeply offensive', adding it had issued a warning on screen about 'very strong and discriminatory language'. It follows criticism of the BBC's response by Lisa Nandy, the Culture Secretary. On Saturday night, Ms Nandy spoke to Tim Davie, the director-general of the corporation, to demand an explanation. The corporation broadcast the performance by Bob Vylan without any edits or bleeps, meaning it did not cover any chants or lyrics that might be deemed offensive. The BBC cut the live feed of the festival for Kneecap, the pro-Palestinian Northern Irish rappers who have been embroiled in a separate conflict in recent months. Liam O'Hanna, a member of the group, has been charged with a terror offence after a flag showing support for Hezbollah was displayed at one of the band's gigs in London. An edited version of Kneecap's performance was subsequently made available by the BBC on its iPlayer platform, although Bob Vylan's set has not been uploaded to iPlayer. On Monday, it emerged that Bob Vylan could be banned from the US after the group's frontman called for the death of all Israeli soldiers. A senior official told The Daily Wire that the US state department is 'already looking at revoking' the group's visa ahead of their 20-city tour through the country.

I found my dream designer wedding dress in a charity shop, it fits perfectly & everyone will be shocked I only paid £169

WE all know that getting married comes with an eye-watering cost. From finding a venue to feeding guests and making sure you look perfect on your big day, it all adds up. 3 But one bride-to-be has revealed how she managed to save thousands by getting a second-hand wedding dress. Emi, who is from the UK but currently lives in Australia working as a make-up artist, went hunting for her dream dress in the charity shops. And it seemed it was her lucky day as she didn't just find one dress that fit like a glove, she found two. Emi walked into the shop and found a stunning fitted sparkly number with a mermaid tail. She decided to try it on and was stunned to see it was the perfect size. "WTF, fit me like a glove," she said. Emi took the dress to the cash register immediately, where she paid just £109 for it. But Emi's good luck wasn't running out; she then headed to another store where she spotted another bridal gown on sale. The gorgeous gown featured a square neckline and an A-line full skirt in a satin material. The best part? It was being sold for £60. 3 Shocking moment wedding guests carry out sweet tradition in VERY over-the-top way - and it's left people furious Emi tried the second dress on and yet again, it was the perfect fit It might have had a couple of stains on the back but Emi was eager to bring it home. She added: "I looked him up when I got home that day. So gutted to see he passed on. But beyond stoked, it belongs to me now. "The style is also in line with what I envisioned would be my dream gown. How it ended up in Australia - I'd love to know!" The clip quickly went viral on her TikTok account @ byemmeline with over 1 million views and 100k likes. People were quick to take to the comments in awe of her budget-friendly dresses. One person wrote: "Ian Stuart was a big name in bridalwear for more than 20 years. Some of his gowns were £4k +. Unfortunately, he passed away a few years ago, so the label no longer exists. You've found a real treasure!" Another commented: "Got both of my wedding dresses from charity shops and recommend it to anyone!" "Now you have a day dress and an evening one," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Omg you scored, and these will be stunning on you!!" "The way I GASPED at both,' claimed a fifth

Bob Vylan frontman stands by 'death to the IDF' chant at Glastonbury telling followers 'I said what I said' - amid calls for BBC to 'face charges' for broadcasting anti-Semitic rant

The frontman of scandal rappers Bob Vylan has doubled down on his 'death to the IDF' chant at Glastonbury - as the BBC faced calls to be prosecuted over the rant. The artist who performs as Bobby Vylan - real name Pascal Robinson-Foster, 34 - is being investigated by Avon and Somerset Police over his performance. Israel 's government has been among those condemning the BBC and Glastonbury for Bob Vylan's Saturday afternoon gig at the music festival in which there were calls for the death of Israeli soldiers in what was broadcast live by the corporation. Police have launched a probe into the comments made by Bob Vylan, who led chants of 'Free Palestine ' and 'Death to the IDF'. The singer from the band, who keeps his identity secret, also declared 'from the river to the sea Palestine will be free' – regarded by many in the Jewish community as a call for Israel's elimination. However, the singer and guitarist Bobby Vylan seemed to revel in the fury caused by his comments on Saturday evening. Sharing a photo of himself eating an ice cream, he wrote on his Instagram story: 'While Zionists are crying on socials, I've just had a late night (vegan) ice cream.' And he has now risked further controversy with a follow-up post on Instagram, which he titled with the defiant phrase: 'I said what I said.' He has responded to the furore with a new statement posted online on Instagram He also told of being ;inundated with messages of both support and hatred'. Robinson-Foster wrote: 'As I lay in bed this morning, my phone buzzing non stop, inundated with messages of both support and hatred, I listen to my daughter typing out loud as she fills out a school survey asking for her feedback on the current state of her school dinners. 'She expressed that she would like healthier meals, more options and dishes inspired by other parts of the world. 'Listening to her voice her opinions on a matter that she cares about and affects her daily, reminds me that we may not be doomed after all. 'Teaching our children to speak up for the change they want and need is the only way that we make this world a better place. 'As we grow older and our fire possibly starts to dim under the suffocation of adult life and all its responsibilities, it is incredibly important that we encourage and inspire future generations to pick up the torch that was passed to us. 'Let us display to them loudly and visibly the right thing to do when we want and need change. 'Let them see us marching in the streets, campaigning on ground level, organising online and shouting about it on any and every stage that we are offered. 'Today it is a change in school dinners, tomorrow it is a change in foreign policy.' The group formed in their hometown of Ipswich in 2017 and have since gone on to release five albums including 2020 debut We Live Here. The frontman has previously spoken of their struggles to get that first album cleared, describing it as being too 'extreme' for some in the music industry - telling the website Louder: 'It was hard to get it released the conventional way - but it was in our power to release it.' Lyrics on their tracks include saying on Britain Makes Me Violent how there is 'nothing great' about Great Britain, while on Reign the frontman declares: 'Got a message for the thieves in the palace, we want the jewels back.' Touching on the subject of housing in London, their song GYAG states: 'Landlord just raised your rent - mate, get yourself a gun.' As well as tackling subjects such as racism, homophobia, capitalism and toxic masculinity, the duo have also made a big deal about the importance of fatherhood. The singer known as Bobby Vylan has said his daughter gave their debut album We Live Here its name and she also featured on the cover of their single Dream Big. Bob Vylan's entire performance on Saturday afternoon at Glastonbury was live-streamed on the BBC iPlayer but it has since been taken down. Nevertheless, the corporation was lambasted for failing to cut the broadcast immediately after the 'anti-Israel' chanting. The live stream continued for another 40 minutes until the end of Bob Vylan's performance. Avon and Somerset Police said video evidence from the performances would be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation. MailOnline has contacted the force for any further updates. Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis has described Bob Vylan's chants as having 'very much crossed a line'. She said in a statement: 'We are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence.' Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp accused Bob Vylan of 'inciting violence and hatred', saying they should be arrested and prosecuted. And he said of the frontman: 'By broadcasting his vile hatred, the BBC appear to have also broken the law.' Glastonbury had said all were welcome at the festival but added it 'does not condone hate speech or incitement to violence of any kind from its performers' Mr Philp posted on X, formerly Twitter: 'I call on the police to urgently investigate and prosecute the BBC as well for broadcasting this. 'Our national broadcaster should not be transmitting hateful material designed to incite violence and conflict. Health Secretary Wes Streeting called the performance a 'pretty shameless publicity stunt', as he suggested the BBC and Glastonbury had 'questions to answer about how we saw such a spectacle on our screens'. And Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch called the scenes 'grotesque', writing on X: 'Glorifying violence against Jews isn't edgy. 'The West is playing with fire if we allow this sort of behaviour to go unchecked.' Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Helen Whately said she was 'horrified' and that that the BBC should have cut the feed. She told Times Radio: 'Given the nature of the attacks on Israel, the BBC should not have kept broadcasting that. They should have cut the coverage immediately.' Liberal Democrat culture, media and sport spokesman Max Wilkinson said: 'Bob Vylan's chants at Glastonbury yesterday were appalling. 'Cultural events are always a place for debate, but hate speech, antisemitism and incitements to violence have no place at Glastonbury or anywhere in our society.' Shadow Foreign Secretary Dame Priti Patel wrote in the Daily Mail that the incident was a 'systemic failure', adding: 'What happened at Glastonbury was dangerous. 'Chants calling for the death of Israeli soldiers crossed a line no civilised society should ever tolerate, and it was shameful that the BBC continued with its live broadcast of this incitement to violence. 'The fact the BBC - a national institution - broadcast this hate-fuelled content will risk legitimising and normalising those views in society.' Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has spoken to the BBC director general about Bob Vylan's performance, a Government spokesperson said. The BBC said it showed a warning during the performance and that viewers would not be able to access it on demand. A spokesperson for the broadcaster said: 'Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. 'During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. 'We have no plans to make the performance available on demand.' The Israeli embassy said it was 'deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival'. The Campaign Against Antisemitism said it would be formally complaining to the BBC over what the group described as an 'outrageous decision' to broadcast Bob Vylan.
