Episode 6

The new series continues. Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer help more homeowners to resolve their dilemmas, rejuvenate their homes and decide whether to stay put or start afresh. Kirstie and Phil step into the middle of a domestic deadlock in Wolverhampton. Gordon, Suky and their three children live in a four-bedroom home that they snapped up in 2011, lured by the promise of an indoor pool. But while the pool may be making a splash, the rest of the house is sinking fast. Suky is desperate to escape; she loathes the gloomy interiors, the severe lack of storage, and the claustrophobic, isolating kitchen. On the other hand, Gordon is firmly anchored, convinced that with a little help from Kirstie, their house could become the perfect family home. Kirstie faces an uphill battle with her £80,000 Love It budget, tackling the awkward layout and oppressive interiors. Her bold reimagining of the downstairs space wows Suky and Gordon, but just as progress starts, unexpected setbacks delay the build by over a year. Meanwhile, Phil has £650,000 to find three jaw-dropping properties that deliver the light, airy spaces that Suky dreams of and also convince Gordon, who isn't exactly eager to budge. Even Suky, who's staunchly Team List It, proves to be a tough critic, giving Phil a serious challenge. With delays, dilemmas and divided loyalties, will this couple ever make up their minds?
