A woman broke down in tears after a ‘nightmare’ home makeover left her hallway ‘looking like a black hole’.
The show, titled Your Home In Their Hands, aired on screens for just one series between 2014 and 2015 on BBC One.
It saw homeowners give amateur interior designers free reign to revamp their property and was presented by Celia Sawyer.
One episode saw a couple, Steve and June, left baffled by their makeover after the designers added a plant wall to their entrance and fish tanks in the walls of their staircase.
‘That’s different isn’t in,’ Steve apprehensively commented while his partner added: ‘I wasn’t expecting this.’
‘I’m very shocked, it’s not my hug I wanted. I don’t really like the colour and I’m not sure about the carpet,’ she said, looking down at the green flooring that resembled grass.

She then went on to admit: ‘… at this moment in time, I’m regretting it’.
June batted plants out of the way as the pair looked at the fish tanks in the walls.
She commented: ‘I’m assuming it’s Rowan who’s done this, I think he’s off his head!’
The couple then made their way upstairs to the bedroom which was painted in a garish blue and pale pink.
‘Where’s all the clothes going to go?’ June asked as she looked at a small blue wardrobe in the corner of the room.
Despite the contrasting colour scheme and storage concerns, she admitted: ‘I quite like it though.’
Steve looked doubtful and replied: ‘Well, good.’
Celia asked: ‘So June, do you think this is what you were looking for? You wanted something more feminine?’

‘I don’t dislike it,’ June said. ‘But I’m just worried about where we’re going to put everything.’
However, overall it wasn’t what she was hoping for and she explained, ‘The light I really wanted isn’t there, so for that I’m disappointed.’
‘Walking into the hallway was a nightmare for me because I was so worried it was so radical and it was very obvious walking in that June hated it,’ Celia commented.
‘There’s no light in there, it’s going to be like a black hole of clutter,’ Jane said.
‘I know how much time and effort Steve has put into the house and now I feel like I’ve taken it away from him,’ she added tearfully. ‘I feel I’ve let him down.’
She cried as Steve hugged her and said: ‘No you haven’t.’
Another episode saw a grimacing man rage ‘it’s an absolute mess!’ after a BBC home makeover from hell that ‘couldn’t be any worse’.
‘I know how much time and effort Steve has put into the house and now I feel like I’ve taken it away from him,’ she added tearfully. ‘I feel I’ve let him down.’ She cried as Steve hugged her and said: ‘No you haven’t.’
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.
Your Home In Their Hands is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
