Couple's house reveal is being called the best reaction to a home makeover ever

Couple's house reveal is being called the best reaction to a home makeover ever

A bloke was left absolutely gutted after seeing what an interior had done to his home - and the result is absolutely TV gold.

BBC’s Your Home In Their Hands saw homeowners hand over the keys to amateur interior designers and if that sounds like it could all end in disaster, then you’re absolutely right.

Check out how John Geoghgan reacted after the big reveal of his new bedroom:

John appeared on the show alongside his wife Rachel, but was left seriously unimpressed with the way his gaff was left after the designer had left their mark and wasn’t prepared to sugar coat it for the cameras, telling presenter Celia Sawyer it’s ‘rank’. Fair enough.

The clip, from back in 2015, resurfaced on social media last summer where it was branded 'the best reaction to a house makeover ever'. And, to be honest, I have to agree.

In the clip, the couple are first shown their living room, which they both love.

The presenter and the expectant couple then move upstairs to their main bedroom, and this is where things fall sharply off a cliff.

Opening their eyes, the couple are visibly shocked. If you look close enough, you can almost see the exact moment John's soul is ripped out of his arse and that flicker of optimism he had just moments earlier dies a dark death.

So, what did he think of his newly coated chambre? "Nah, it's too much. For me, it's too busy," he says bluntly.

"I wouldn't have done anything like it and I don't like it. You're supposed to be able 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 but it's a big thumbs down from me."

Adding: "It's hideous, I think it's even too much for Rachel if she was to tell the truth."

Or is it?

Giving her thoughts, Rachel says: "I do like the bed and the wardrobes. I like the theme of it. I like the lights."

But John is having none of it and can't believe the betrayal.

"It's rank," he says shaking his head. "I don't like it at all, definitely not."

Then, prodded by the, quite frankly, testy presenter, Rachel says: "I think it will grow on us. I do like the bed and the wardrobes. I did ask for colour."

Neither of which is a massive endorsement, to be honest.

But despite pleas from the presenter to let Rachel keep the room the way it is if she likes it, John doesn't budge

Instead he rounds off with: "It's rank, horrible."

And when he was asked what message he would give the designer, he says: "Don't touch the other room."
