Sort Your Life Out viewers were far from impressed with a ‘nonsensical’ bedroom transformation in the latest episode – saying it ‘isn’t practical long term’.
Hosted by Stacey Solomon, the BBC show sees the star and her team help makeover cluttered homes across Britain.
The latest episode saw the group head to Milton Keynes, where they met Bianca and Ollie Parej, along with their five children aged under nine years old.
Over the years, the couple’s home became filled with clutter as they navigated busy schedules and caring for five children.
At the start of the episode, the team encountered office chairs as well as a washing machine in the hallway.
One of the show’s experts, Robert Bent, highlighted a lack of storage, given the family has seven members.
Not all viewers were impressed by the latest episode of Sort Your Life Out – with some branding the home transformation as ‘isn’t practical long term’

For Bianca and Ollie’s three sons, their transformed bedroom now includes a trio of single beds positioned within bright green sleeping pods, which are built in.
However, not all viewers watching at home were sold on the makeover and soon shared their thoughts on social media.
One wrote on X: ‘When they do things like pods, what happens as the kids get older or they sell the house, they are not practical long term and look like a play centre not a home.’
Another added: ‘They’re already at the stage of outgrowing this house, they’re going to need to move before long as those bedrooms are not enough for five kids.’
A third remarked: ‘Pods for beds, just put two beds in the room, they will grow out of that nonsense in a short time.’
A fourth penned: ‘Wait until they’re about 20 and trying to squeeze into those beds.’
While a fifth chimed in with: ‘What are they doing to the house, its like a play centre.’
Upon seeing the boys’ new look bedroom for the first time, a visibly moved Bianca said: ‘This is incredible. It’s insane.’
Stacey responded: ‘Rob really wanted to make this work so that the boys could grow up in these beds and he was determined to get three full-size singles in this space along with actual storage and places to hang stuff.’
To which Ollie replied: ‘It’s brilliant. He really has worked his magic.’
Earlier this series, viewers were left in tears as the team helped out a dad who had received a life-changing diagnosis.
Father-of-three Gerald, who was diagnosed with Early-Onset Alzheimer’s seven years ago, appeared alongside his wife of thirty years, Trish.
Alzheimer’s is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and the most common cause of dementia, characterised by brain cell death, cognitive decline, and memory loss.
Speaking about his diagnosis, Gerald explained: ‘At the beginning I thought I was just getting older. I was forgetting things.

Meanwhile, viewers also got to see how the boys’ bedroom had looked prior to the Sort Your Life Out makeover
‘At the age of 55 after 18 months of poking and prodding I was diagnosed with young onset Alzheimer’s disease.
‘Within weeks of the diagnosis I was retired through ill health. I also had to hand in my driving licence. That was a huge loss. All my independence gone.’
Stacey and her team helped declutter their home, making it easier for Gerry to move around and for their two grown-up children, who also live there.
Fans wrote on X after hearing Gerry’s story: ‘This is so sad. Dementia is cruel’
‘Poor Gerry, so sad for him.’
‘Crying at Sort Your Life Out. Very close to home with Dad and his recent diagnosis. What a lovely family though.’
‘What a devastating diagnosis early onset Alzheimers’;
‘Having lost both grandmothers and my mother-in-law to dementia and Alzheimer’s, I’ve seen first hand the devastation it causes. Being diagnosed with early onset must be absolutely earth shattering!’;
‘Beautiful family’, How lovely was that’ and ‘so happy this is back’.
Sort Your Life Out airs on BBC One and iPlayer.
