Fans of Stacey Solomon's BBC One show Sort Your Life Out were left stunned by the filthy living conditions of one family's home. The programme, which aims to help families declutter, featured the Fountain family, whose house was so full of clutter that the front door could not be opened.
When host Stacey Solomon arrived, she was visibly shocked. 'Oh my God, I can't actually open it. You can't get through this door. This has never happened,' she said. The team had to enter through the back door, where they found mountains of boxes, clothes and paper piled high, with some stacks nearly touching the ceiling.
Viewers took to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to express their dismay. One person wrote: 'I really can't believe that young, fit and healthy people could let their home get into such a disgusting state! The children are the only ones with any common sense.' Another said: 'Felt sorry for the children to have to live like that.' However, some defended the family, noting that life can be tough and clutter can easily build up.
After clearing the house and moving all belongings to a warehouse, Stacey and her team transformed the Fountain family's home. The family broke down in tears upon seeing the result. One viewer commented: 'Stacey has made it a gorgeous home again. So happy for the parents and these kids who can now invite their friends over.'
