FANS have been left with their jaws open while watching the latest episode to stream of Stacey Solomon’s Sort Your Life Out.
The shock comes after one family’s extensive trainer collection was revealed – and it’s practically a “gold mine” of clutter, according to some.
Parents-of-three Toyah and Ron Clark had been struggling to keep their home tidy after moving their kids from the US to the UK.
HR Advisor Toyah and US Air Force veteran Ron share Isaiah, 18, Ari, 13, and Alissah 11.
When relocating to Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, over five years ago, they had to seriously downsize their home to a much smaller newbuild.
However, they didn’t downsize their possessions, meaning their new British home was overrun with clutter – and it’s only gotten worse as time has gone on.
As per Stacey’s strategy in BBC’s Sort Your Life Out, the Clark family’s possessions are laid out in a giant warehouse.
Among their mammoth clutter was 521 odd socks, 75 Barbies and 28 gaming controllers.
That’s not to mention an unruly amount of baby grows despite the children being grown up and soft toys from when the kids were toddlers.
But fans were particularly shocked to find out they had around 200 pairs of trainers between five of them – working out at 40 pairs each.
During the episode, mum-of-three Toyah realises how difficult she finds seeing her children grow up so quickly, meaning she finds it hard to let go of the kids’ clothes and childhood toys.
As they were constantly moving home during Ron’s air force years, the possessions gave her reassurance.
But as Stacey and her organisation “dream team” argued, trainers are an unnecessary source of comfort or nostalgia.
Fans were shocked at the amount of trainers the family had between them – with one describing it as “madness”.
“This is madness, 200 pairs of trainers,” one penned on X (formerly Twitter).
“How many pairs of shoes?” a second asked.
A third weighed in that the family are likely sitting on a “gold mine” with the shoe collection, which included Yeezy’s, Jordan’s and designer sliders.
“That collection is easily worth over £10,000,” they suggested. “It’s a gold mine.”
Stacey’s organiser Dilly managed to get the family to ditch 80 of their pairs, leaving them with a whopping 120 still.
And it turns out, eldest child Isiah actually resells designer trainers as a side hustle to make some cash – so Stacey and Dilly let him keep a few more pairs than the rest of the family.
Dad Ron was only allowed to walk out of the warehouse with five pairs, something he found immensely challenging.
