A firm favourite with daytime viewers, the long-running BBC series Homes Under The Hammer first aired 18 years ago. The property show follows presenters Dion Dublin, Martin Roberts and

Martel Maxwell as they find out who bought certain homes at auction and why. In a recent episode, Dion visited a house with the absurdly low guide price, and went to explore it for viewers.

The price of the three-bedroom, semi-detached property in Grimethorpe, South Yorkshire, left the presenter in disbelief as he was about to enter the home. Normally, the property experts

examine the valuation of the house and give their view once it has been checked out. But on this occasion, Dion was sure it would never sell for its guide price of £10,000 before stepping

inside. Walking through the front garden, he said: “This is the lowest guide price I’ve ever come across, and it will never sell for this, absolutely no chance – £10,000? READ MORE: EMMA

WILLIS CONFIRMS TWO THE VOICE UK CONTESTANTS WITHDRAW “It’s just a starting price. Look at the size of it!” Stepping inside the home, he teased viewers on their knowledge of the house,

asking: “Okay right, before we start the tour around the house, has anybody noticed what kind of house this is? Anybody?” But he didn’t give too much away at the start, as he continued:

“I’ll get back to you. Right, the house itself has got a sort of porch area and a downstairs loo. “And then it takes you into the kitchen – bit of a breakfast bar. The kitchen and the

breakfast bar have kind of seen better days.” Former footballer turned property whizz Dion recently revealed the features of a property he doesn’t like: walls. Confessing that there aren’t

many walls in his own home, he said: “I don’t have anything against walls. You know what it is? I like open spaceS. “So the family can see each other when they’re doing different things. I

think I have five rooms downstairs and two sets of doorS. “Everything tolls into the next room,” he told The Guardian. While many shows were taken off air last year, luckily for fans, Homes

Under The Hammer has continued to air throughout the coronavirus pandemic but Martin has explained changes had to be made. Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk in October, he said: “So

Homes Under the Hammer got put on hold, so we haven't really done much filming on that since March. “We've done a few days here and there and we've tried a new way of filming

where it's just me and a cameraman - that seems to be working.” _HOMES UNDER THE HAMMER AIRS WEEKDAYS ON BBC ONE AT 10AM._
