Disgusting people it’s like a similar programme about people who hoard stuff. They basically want their house cleaned up for them.

Doodledog - the lady does look like she could turn into a major hoarder. However, she has thrown away a pile of magazines now.

She did say that she just couldn't be bothered to clean. No comment about mental health issues.

They have just found some lemon juice that is five years out of date. Sounds like my cupboard!!!

I very much doubt that she 'can't be bothered', or is 'perfectly capable' of doing it herself.

People don't usually want to live in filth, and if this woman did she wouldn't have invited the cameras in. There are likely to be mental health issues, whether they are obvious to the casual viewer or not.

I think these programmes are exploitative and unpleasant, and the people involved will be the talk of the neighbourhood forever more, but I suppose at least the houses are cleaned up for a while.

Some people will do anything for money.

AIBU. There is a programme on at the moment called Filthy House SOS. They are currently in the house of a 59 year old woman with two small dogs who cannot be bothered to clean. The house is a new-ish three bed semi. There are three bushes in the garden that are perfectly pruned.

She has 'immaculate' makeup and is well dressed. The two youngish men who present the programme have come in to clean her house for her.

If this was me, I would be mortified allowing people to come into my house in this state.

As far as I can see and hear, the lady in the house is perfectly capable of cleaning her own house.

Have they run out of genuine filthy houses, or am I being unreasonable.
