Sort Your Life Out viewers say ‘this is a painful watch’ as family sparks concerns

Viewers of Stacey Solomon’s BBC show Sort Your Life Out were left gobsmacked as they watched a family who admitted to hoarding 3,000 plastic toys

Viewers of Sort Your Life Out were left feeling uneasy after watching the latest episode, which they described as ‘painful to watch’.

The BBC hit show, which aired on Tuesday (4th March), saw Stacey Solomon and her team – Dilly Carter, 44, Iwan Carrington and Robert Bent – assist the Jamison family from East Sussex in transforming their home that has been in their family for four decades.

Single mum Nadine, who has lived in the house since her teens and raised her four daughters there, found herself overwhelmed by the sheer volume of belongings accumulated over the years. With three generations living under one roof, the family’s possessions had taken over entire rooms, leaving no space for a fresh start.

However, it was the sight of their belongings being moved to a warehouse that really got viewers talking. The team laid out all their items for them to decide what to sell, donate or keep.

Among the family’s possessions were 106 animal ornaments, 87 board games, 3,000 miniature plastic toys and over 1,000 pieces of Nadine’s cherished china, reports Wales Online.

As they sifted through the decades of keepsakes, things became emotional when Nadine began reflecting on her childhood, the challenges of raising her daughters and the impact of her father leaving the family home.

Opening up about her past, Nadine said: “Some of this is my dad’s and that’s why I’ve held onto this. He was great but he did walk out when I was 17. I think I have been stuck in there, at that age. Such an idyllic childhood, so it’s a real shock.”

With Nadine’s daughters by her side, the family bravely tackled the daunting task of sifting through 40 years’ worth of belongings and cherished memories. After assembling their dream team, Stacey and her crew put in a solid graft to turn the bungalow into a cosy and inviting abode.

Stacey’s good mate Zoe Sugg, better known as Zoella, even pitched in to help spruce up the place before the family’s big return.

Another exclaimed: “Plastic toys? B****y hell. No wonder the planet is f****d, #SortYourLifeOut.” A third chimed in: “3000+ plastic toys?!?! #sortyourlifeout @NatureBookish #sortyourlifeout all those dolls!”
