Woman gasps ‘what have we done?!’ after DISASTROUS home makeover

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’.  

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

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.’ 

Andy wasn't very happy with what he was shown after letting the interior designers do what they want with his home

Kelly said: 'What have we done?! I don't like the tapestries, I don't like the red ceiling. What about you?'

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.’ 

A grimacing man raged 'it's an absolute mess - disgusting!' after appearing on the BBC show

Your Home In Their Hands, presented by Celia Sawyer (pictured), aired on our screens for one series between 2014 and 2015 on BBC One

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.’

John brutally finished with: 'It's rank. Horrible. Nah. Sorry. It's not for me' and later said his message to the designer was: 'Don't touch the other room'

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.’

Rachel confessed: 'I think it'll grow on us, I like, I like the bed and the wardrobes, I did ask for colour'

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'

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.’ 

 Your Home In Their Hands is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
