A CONTESTANT who was on Changing Room has revealed the makeover they received was so shoddy their walls fell apart after the crew left.
The BBC show saw couples swap houses with their friends and neighbours and renovate each other's properties.
Usually one room in each house would receive a face lift - with the participants getting help from DIY experts and designers.
At the end of the show the contestants would meet once again and see each transformation.
However, one woman who appeared on the nineties home improvement show has revealed how 'shoddy' the makeovers were.
I'm a property expert - my guess for the cheapest time to buy a home this year
Posting on Reddit, the unnamed contestant said just weeks after the TV crew left the revamp fell apart.
She said: "It looked so pretty, they decorated it to look like a fairy woodland with huge tree murals on the walls and a nights sky of stars hanging from the ceiling.
"But it held up really badly, all the murals on the wall peeled off and it looked bad pretty quickly.
She added that despite the blunder, she "had fun shooting the show".
Changing Rooms originally aired on the Beeb from 1996 until 2004 before Channel 4 revived the format in 2021 for one series.
Meanwhile, a builder who appeared on 60 Minute Makeover has revealed how the show is staged.
Craig Phillips revealed: "It happens in the time that you see us recording it but it's the planning and preparation off camera that you don't always see to make us be able to do it in that time frame.
"Lets face it, what you see in the house happens in the 60 minutes because we shoot it in two 30-minute halfs."
The ITV renovation programme saw lucky participants have rooms in their homes completely transformed in just one hour.
