Homeowner breaks down in tears as 'dirty, neglected and unsellable' house receives jaw-dropping transformation after 'the worst two years of her life'
During the latest instalment of the Channel 4 show, Stuart, 47, and Scarlette Douglas, 38, were in West Sussex to take on a property that potential buyers weren't interested in.
There, they visited homeowner Tracy, whose unsellable house was not market-ready, and after battling throat cancer twice, she was desperate to start a new chapter in her life.
Her home needed a serious facelift, especially the clashing colour schemes, the front polka-dot appearance, and the broken chest of drawers.
So, it was up to Scarlette and Stuart to use their creative expertise to sell her property and make it market-ready quickly and on a budget.
Tracy listed the home seven months ago and even reduced the price to £330,000 but failed to get any viewings.
She emphasised on the show that her worst fear was 'dying before she could sell the house' and couldn't understand why people weren't viewing it.
Local property enthusiasts who came to view the home said that the outside appearance 'looked like a toadstool' and that the home felt 'musky and dirty' and 'neglected' on the inside.
So, in two days and with a budget of £3,000, Stuart completely transformed Tracy's home and tackled the issues that were putting off potential buyers.
Once Tracy saw the incredible transformation, she was reduced to tears and couldn't thank Stuart and Scarlette enough for their efforts before expressing that she had the worst two years of her life after battling throat cancer.
Fighting back tears, she said: 'I can get on with my next chapter, and that means so much to me.
'I know I am going to sell this, and I can start planning all the things I want to do. And that's such a big thing for me. Thank you so much for everything you've done.'
At the end of the episode, it was revealed that two months later, Tracy was very hopeful about selling her home.
The heartwarming episode comes after presenter Scarlette was put under immense pressure to help a couple transform their home last week after the husband said: 'I don't think we're going to last much longer if we can't sell.'

Episode one featured a couple, Sarah and Alan, and their cluttered two-bedroom cottage, which desperately needed a new makeover.
After being on the market for over a year, the pair asked Stuart and Scarlette for their help.
In that time, the couple had three viewings, but unfortunately, no offers and the duo shared that trying to sell their home had affected their relationship.
Alan said: 'We are arguing more than ever. Personally, I don't think we're going to last much longer if we can't sell it.'
Sarah continued: 'Our dream is to sell the house, and we can buy a nice house perhaps overlooking the sea instead of being here and being miserable because we are, aren't we?'
Thankfully, towards the end of the episode, it was revealed that the cottage had already had two viewings following its transformation.

Naga Munchetty gets pay rise dwarfing co-host Charlie Stayt amid ‘bully' claims as BBC salaries revealed
BBC Breakfast host Naga Munchetty received a huge pay rise last year - despite being reprimanded by bosses over bullying allegations. The BBC's annual report revealed the under-fire presenter 's new £355k salary is now almost double that of her co-host Charlie Styat, who has remained in the £190k bracket. 12 12 The star, 50, received a 10k boost despite finding herself at the centre of a BBC Breakfast toxicity row earlier this year. Naga, who has presented on the flagship news programme since 2014, has always been paid more than Stayt. Her pay packet accounts for 180 days of presenting on the Breakfast show, as well as her Radio 5 Live programme and election coverage. It comes as she was accused of two bullying incidents in three years - including allegedly targeting a junior staffer - and was hauled in by bosses over a sex jibe made at Radio 5 Live. Key points in the BBC Annual Report Naga is said to have used a crude slang term for a sex act during an off-air break — before asking a colleague if they had done it. The alleged remark stunned the Radio 5 Live studio and led to her being hauled before bosses. She was reprimanded by a senior producer but no formal action was taken. The BBC Annual report - released today - revealed that Gary Lineker ended his time with the BBC by topping the Corporation's pay league for the eighth consecutive year. Its salary report showed the ex-Match of the Day host, 64, remained in the £1,350,000 to £1,354,999 bracket before he quit in May following a social media row over a pro-Palestinian video. Top 10 earners at the BBC MOTD Star Gary Lineker retained his place as top earner for another year Gary Lineker - £1.35million Zoe Ball - £515,000 - cut from £950,000 Alan Shearer - £440,000 - up from £380,000 Greg James - £425,000 - up from £415,000 Fiona Bruce - £410,000 - up from £405,000 AND Nick Robinson - £410,000 - up from £345,000 Stephen Nolan - £405,000 Laura Kuenssberg - £395,000 - up from £325,000 Vernon Kay - £390,000 - up from £320,000 Justin Webb - £365,000 - up from £320,000 Naga Munchetty - £355,000 - up from £345,000 Radio 2 host Zoe Ball, 53, remained the Beeb's second-highest earner despite a significant pay cut when she left the breakfast show,. She is now in the £515,000 - £519,999 grade, dropping from £950,000 to £954,999. Other top earners include Alan Shearer on £440k, Greg James on £425k and Fiona Bruce on £410k - all three receiving pay rises. Nearly 70 per cent of the BBC's top 20 earners received pay rises. One of the Beeb's former highest-earners, Huw Edwards, does not feature in 24/25's pay disclose list after he left in April 2024 amid an explicit image scandal. The BBC has not escaped scandal this year, though. MasterChef's Gregg Wallace, was fired this week for inappropriate conduct. Wynne Evans was also sacked by BBC Radio Wales after a row on Strictly Come Dancing. However neither would feature in the publicly-funded BBC's salary dossier, which discloses salaries above £178,000, because they are paid by external production firms or BBC Studios, the corporation's commercial arm. Many big names, including Claudia Winkleman, Tess Daly, Graham Norton and Bradley Walsh do not feature for the same reason. 12 12 It comes as under-fire Director General Tim Davie received a £15k pay hike despite systemic failure. He took home £540k. His pay boost comes just weeks after the BBC was forced to issue a grovelling apology for streaming Bob Vylan's "death to IDF" Glastonbury chant. Meanwhile the number of people paying for a TV licence fell by around 300,000 last year - almost two per cent in all. Some 23.8m licences are in force, down from 24.1m in 2023/2024. Scandal-hit BBC boss Tim Davie gets pay RISE to £540k despite Gregg Wallace drama, Glasto coverage & Hamas doc scandal SCANDAL-HIT BBC boss Tim Davie has been given a sizeable pay rise to earn £544,999 a year. The broadcaster's annual report shows the Director-General's pay packet swelled by around £15,000 or 2.5% over the past 12 months - despite controversies including those involving Gregg Wallace, Bob Vylan and a Hamas documentary. The Beeb is required to publish the pay and expenses for all senior leaders earning over £178,000 annually "in the BBC's public services", according to its report. Davie - who took up his current role in 2020 - was paid an estimated £529,999 in salary and taxable benefits in 2023-24. Asked by The Sun why Davie had received a £15,000 bonus despite significant failures throughout the year, BBC's chair of the board Dr Samir Shah said: "His pay has been frozen since 2021 and I think that it is reasonable. "There is little doubt that Tim's pay is significantly under the (going rate). "If you look at the figures , trust levels have gone up - if you look at the report, the actual performance of the BBC has been exceptional." He added: "I have no problems with awarding him with what is a very small bonus - which still ends up [with] his salary being significantly lower than any of his peers in the sector." But because of a hike in cost to £169.50, the BBC says it gathered some £183m more from the fees. Despite the drop, it said the "vast majority of our audiences remained committed to paying the licence fee". It comes as The Sun revealed the Beeb asked John Torode to resign from Masterchef after he was accused of racism. A report upheld 45 of 83 allegations of bad behaviour against his co-host Gregg Wallace, who was axed last week. The dossier also upheld a complaint that an unnamed person used a racial phrase once several years ago. Torode confirmed to The Sun it referred to him, but said: 'I have absolutely no recollection of this, and I do not believe that it happened.' The BBC also told the MasterChef presenter to pretend he had mental health issues after accusing him of racism, it was claimed. The stunned Aussie, 59, was asked to resign over the weekend after being dragged into the Gregg Wallace scandal. Shockingly, sources said the BBC and production company Banijay asked John to resign from the beleaguered show last week and claim he had mental health problems — to which he refused. Torode, who has hosted the BBC1 cooking show with Wallace since 2005, was shocked to be told of the allegation — which did not receive a complaint at the time but had been raised with investigators. 12 12 In a farcical turn of events, the BBC was unable to specify the time or date of the allegation, narrowing it down to '2018 or 2019'. The Beeb admitted the future of Masterchef was hanging in the balance after the shocking revelations and probes into both hosts. A total of 45 out of the 83 allegations made against Gregg during his time on the show were substantiated, including one allegation of "unwelcome physical contact". The corporation said the possibility of Gregg returning to MasterChef was "untenable". And they also issued a statement on the future of the new series of MasterChef, saying that, at this time, 'we are not going to make a final decision on the broadcast of the series that was filmed last year.' Earlier this month, the Beeb told how Bob Vylan were assessed as "high risk" before their performance at Glastonbury but were "deemed suitable for live streaming with appropriate mitigations". Chairman Samir Shah admitted that the decision to continue streaming the pro-Palestine punk duo following their 'death to the IDF' chant was an "error of judgement". Singer Bobby Vylan also shouted "from the river to the sea Palestine... will be free" - regarded by Jews as a call for Israel 's elimination. Avon and Somerset Police confirmed cops were investigating the performance, as well as controversial Irish rock group Kneecap, after video and audio footage of their sets had been examined. The BBC later took down the broadcast on the iPlayer but was criticised for not cutting it off immediately after the anti-Semitic chanting, with the live feed continuing for another 40 minutes. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer was among those who slammed the broadcaster and demanded an explanation for the decision to air the horrifying chant during the performance on the West Holts stage. n a fresh statement earlier this month, the BBC said: "We fully understand the strength of feeling regarding Bob Vylan's live appearance at Glastonbury on the BBC. "We deeply regret that such offensive and deplorable behaviour appeared on the BBC and want to apologise to our viewers and listeners and in particular the Jewish community." 12 12 12

Isla Fisher, 49, is absolutely glowing as she steps out at Wimbledon with her older brother after finalising her divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen
Isla Fisher is enjoying a new lease on life after finalising her divorce from ex-husband Sacha Baron Cohen. The Australian actress, 49, looked radiant as she stepped out at Wimbledon in London on Sunday with her older brother Daniel at the Champagne Lanson event at Agapanthus Suite. Isla opted for a cream ensemble which included a blouse worn under a blazer and a matching pleated midi-skirt. The star added a pair of white leather high heels in a patent finish and sported a pair of designer sunglasses, while carrying a wicker purse. Daniel coordinated with Isla, wearing a white shirt with a cream suit and a pair of trainers. He completed the look with a floral tie and like the actress, had on a pair of sunglasses. The duo stuck close together at the event, and were also seen arriving together with Isla walking a little in front of her pal. Isla was also the picture of happiness last week as she stepped out looking glamorous in a busty floral dress for day one of the Wimbledon Championships. The Australian actress couldn't wipe the smile off her face, looking radiant in a Monique Lhuillier lemon-printed corseted dress worth $4,703 AUD. Isla and her ex-husband Sacha, 53, announced they had finalised their £120 million (approximately $250 million AUD) divorce on June 14. In a message posted simultaneously on both their Instagram sites, the pair said: 'Our divorce has now been finalised. The star added a pair of white leather high heels in a patent finish and sported a pair of designer sunglasses, while carrying a wicker purse 'We are proud of all we've achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to co-parenting our wonderful children. 'We ask for the media to continue to respect our children's privacy.' Sacha and Isla first met in 2001 and married in 2010. They were believed to have one of the strongest marriages in showbusiness before quietly separating in 2023. They then publicly announced their break-up in April 2024, and it now appears they have amicably resolved any differences. A source said: 'It's all sorted. Now Sacha and Isla both just want to get on with the rest of their lives and focus on their family's well-being.' The couple - who have three children together - first met at a party in Sydney, Australia, in 2001. Speaking of their first encounter, Sacha recalled quickly noticing Isla was 'hilarious'. He remembered: 'We were at a very pretentious party, and me and her bonded over taking the mick out of the other people at the party.' 'I knew instantly. I don't know if she did,' he added. The pair announced their separation last year with a picture of themselves wearing tennis whites. They confirmed in an accompanying message: 'After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down.' Speaking earlier this year of their break-up, Isla said: 'It's the most difficult thing that I've been through and I've learnt so much about myself in the process. 'I never imagined my family being separated but we are committed and loving parents.'

Hollyoaks alum Steph Waring reveals co-stars stopped talking to her after brutal axing from the soap - and slams lack of support for cast after exit
Former Hollyoaks star Steph Waring has revealed her former cast members no longer speak to her following her brutal axing from the Channel 4 soap last year - and admits she's been devastated by the sudden loss of both her career and decades-long friendships. The actress, 47, who played Cindy Cunningham on and off since 1996, says since being culled she has struggled with crippling insecurity, financial pressures and a lack of 'duty of care' from the industry for long-serving cast members 'I did feel the quiet from the family that I once knew on the show,' she said. 'No one's picking up the phone. No one's checking in. 'Everyone's just getting on with their life. When you're in that Hollyoaks bubble and they call it a family - I feel you're only family when you're in it.' Speaking candidly on the latest episode of the Secure The Insecure podcast, Steph - who didn't specify anyone in particular - added: 'You pour your heart out to these people and then you go and it's like it never happened. Where did that friendship go? There's only a couple of people I'm in contact with.' The actress was one of several casualties in the soap's dramatic 2024 cast shake-up and now claims there was a lack of 'duty of care' to help them navigate the aftermath. 'When this whole cull happened, it was across the whole family. There were people from the costume department to sound and makeup that were losing their jobs. What happens next?' Reflecting on the sudden end to her regular income, Steph admitted the short notice left her financially anxious. 'I got told that I was leaving within twelve weeks... that was no time for me to go: 'What the f*** do I do now? Where's my next paycheck going to come from?' she said. 'Because it's all very well saying, go and get another acting job. But unless you're on a soap or a Netflix series, you ain't getting paid big money. So you have to do something else. You have to wear many hats, so to speak.' It was revealed in May last year that Hollyoaks had become the latest soap to be hit by stringent budget cuts, with show bosses planning to reduce the workforce by 40 per cent. Budget cuts forced Channel 4 bosses to carry out a mass axing of cast and crew, as well as scale back episodes to three a week. Script writers came up with a bizarre plan to 'time jump' the programme by a year, which fast-forwarded 20 characters out of the soap permanently. As well as Steph, other cast members to be axed amid the mass cull included Ellis Hollins (Tom Cunningham), Suzanne Hall (Suzanne Ashworth), Gregory Finnegan (James Nightingale) and Annie Wallace (Sally St Clair). The actress was one of several casualties in the soap's dramatic 2024 cast shake-up and now claims there was a lack of 'duty of care' to help them navigate the aftermath Steph is now retraining as a life coach, studying under celebrity guru Jay Shetty. She said the transition helped her get through a tough period where she stopped going to the gym, drank too much, and struggled with her self-worth. 'I have my bad days,' she admitted. 'I'll stay off social media for a while because I think I look like s***, people don't like my content, I don't know what I'm doing. I'm not Cindy anymore… so what am I doing?' Her candid admission of crippling insecurity comes as she reflected on her decades-long battle with body image and bulimia, which began when she was a teenager. And while the mother-of-two now chooses to step away from overtly sexual content, she admits she once loved being objectified. 'When I first started on the show in the nineties, it was all about the lads' mags,' she said. 'That's how you propelled yourself to some sort of status. When I got picked to do Maxim along with all the other [Hollyoaks] girls, I was so excited. I was like, 'Oh my God. I'm going to be a Hollyoaks girl!' But the high didn't last as Steph was told she had been dropped from the Maxim cover. 'I got a phone call saying I wasn't going to be included on the front cover. They said it was because I had different coloured underwear to everyone else, which wasn't true… I knew deep down it was because I didn't look like everyone else,' she said. 'It still upsets me thinking about it.' She also claimed she and her co-stars were never paid for magazine shoots or the Hollyoaks calendars. 'Even back in the day, we didn't get paid for any of the lads' mags. I don't know who was pocketing the money but we should have been. That's my only issue with it - pay me,' she said. Steph, however, wouldn't dream of using her body to make money now - unlike her former Hollyoaks star Sarah Jayne Dunn, who is on OnlyFans. 'I don't think I could ever sexualise myself in that way,' she said. 'I'm nearly 50 and I just don't think that's my angle… Never say never though. People change all the time.' Still, she admits the transition from soap stardom to normal life has been painful. 'People say a job's a job, but at the same time it is your life,' she said. 'Cindy Cunningham is you. Cindy is the village. It's more than just a little role. It's everything.' She added: 'It's been a while since someone's asked how I feel. I think I'm definitely a work in progress… But on the good days, I feel unstoppable.'
