DIY SOS fans all have same complaint as emotional episode leaves mum in tears
DIY SOS fans all had the same complaint as an emotional episode left a mum in tears.
Fans flocked to Twitter after bed-ridden mother-of-two Mandy sobbed as the community agreed to help makeover her home.
Due to her medical condition that affected her mobility, Mandy was living in one room ‘unable to be a mum,’ as her home was not wheelchair accessible, host Nick Knowles explained to viewers.
Telly fans were left emotional after scenes where Nick unveiled her new home complete with a lift, lower kitchen surfaces, a medical bed and an art room – which was the show’s first ever build in Bangor, Northern Ireland.
Mandy, who lives with her husband, and their two children – both with medical conditions too – was inconsolable when she saw the transformation on the show where the community pitched in to help renovate her home.
She said: “This is like a hotel,” when she saw her glam new bedroom.
Mandy sobbed: “This doesn’t look anything like it did before.
“It’s absolutely gorgeous.”
She later added: “It’s a new beginning for all of us.”
“It changes everything. To be able to get into my house, to be able to move around in my house, it’s important to be a mum and a wife again.”
Fans were in bits too and flocked to Twitter to comment.
One said: “Not seen #DIYSOS in ages because I always end up a blubbering mess! But I’m excited to see the transformation.”
Another said: “Diysos got me proper tonight
A third chimed in: “Caught the end of #DIYSOS.. And yes it got me.”
A fourth said: “Another magnificent #diysos tonight. What an amazing transformation for the McCreight family in Northern Ireland. Programmes like this are a delight to watch, and all involved need all the respect in the world. Pure joy.”
