Worst House On The Street viewers blast hosts for 'utter nonsense' advice - swiping 'I wouldn't let them into my home' after attack on property 'which looked fine in the first place'

Worst House On The Street viewers blasted the hosts for their 'utter nonsense' advice and swiped 'I wouldn't let them into my home' after the latest episode.
Wednesday's instalment of the Channel 4 property renovation show featured Lianne, who lived with her brother, sister-in-law and father from Leicester.
Lianne and her father hoped to move into another home and out of the newlywed couple's house, but wanted help sprucing it up first.
Expert Stuart Douglas said: 'Their house isn't as ancient as the castle, but it is a 1950s house.'
His sister, Scarlette, added: 'Correct, it's old. It needs a lot of work.'
Host Scarlette went on: 'This is the 1950s shabby looking detached three-bed house on the outskirts of Leicester that's in desperately need of our help.
'It has plenty of potential but right now it's tired, dated, and bringing the street down.'
However, some viewers took issue with the pair's advice and felt the house didn't need too much work.
Many posted on X: 'I don't understand, it's hardly the worst house like they're saying, it looks fine from the outside and not unlike all the other houses.'
'No visible pendant in the dining room means rewire the house? Oh good lord, this pair! Utter nonsense. #worsthouseonthestreet.'
'These guys wanting everyone to believe a traditional house is ugly… I wouldn't walk past that house and think rah that house is rough, come on guys fix up!'
'They're struggling to make this house seem awful when it's not really that bad!'
'I wouldn't actually let Stuart and Scarlette in after that first visit with all their opinions about splashes of colour and doom talk.'
'These two professionals are awful. They don't give any real sound advice or help. And they try and force their opinion on people. It's not your home!'
However, some viewers took issue with the pair's advice and felt the house didn't need too much work
Lianne had purchased the house for £212,000 a few years ago and had £25,000 spare to renovate it.
During the episode, Douglas and Scarlette shared tips on how to up-cycle items and other budget-friendly techniques.
In the end, they managed to complete the transformation within budget and the value of the property increased to £292,000.
Worst House On The Street airs on Channel 4 and is available to stream on Channel4.com

EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy shuts down 'disgusting' false cancer hoax after fan concern: 'It is completely made up and a terrible story'

EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy has shut down the 'disgusting' false rumour that she has breast cancer. The actress, 42, took to Instagram Stories on Friday to debunk the cruel hoax, which had been shared in an EastEnders Facebook fan group. According to the story, the star had broken down in tears when she was given the diagnosis. Its headline read: 'Natalie Cassidy Breaks Down as She Reveals Breast Cancer Diagnosis: "I Didn't Want Anyone to Know…"' Slamming the fake story, Natalie wrote: 'THIS IS DISGUSTING AND DISGRACEFUL. So many people are going through this and I have had messages asking if I'm ok. 'It is completely made up and a terrible story. Take this down whoever you are.' The cruel rumour follows the actress leaving her long-running role as Sonia Fowler on the BBC soap opera in April. Before her exit she had been involved in an emotional storyline that saw her wrongfully accused of murder. It then emerged that her on-screen partner Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman) had actually carried out the terrible crime. She made her dramatic exit on a speedboat with sister Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer), daughters Bex (Jasmine Armfield) and baby Julia after locking her estranged father Terry Cant (Glen Davies) in a garage. Since leaving EastEnders, the actress has been busy with a host of other projects including a BBC documentary that follows her journey training to be a carer. She is also the host of the Channel 4 consumer show Britain's Best Buys. Natalie was a longtime feature of EastEnders, first stepping into Sonia's shoes way back in 1993 when she was just 10 years old. She is not the only soap star to recently be the subject of online rumours and Emmerdale's Lisa Riley has also been a victim. Lisa - AKA Mandy Dingle - was recently forced to issue a warning to fans about AI impersonators. Riley, 48, said in a video: 'If something is not on my page – and my page is blue-ticked – then it is not real. 'It is AI pretending to be me, and there is nothing I can do about it. 'It's a hoax, it's a scam and it's a lie. 'So please, I'm begging you, don't click on it, don't believe it, don't read it, don't give it any attention. 'It's not true.'
