As BBC axe TV show Your Home Made Perfect plus spin-off garden series, why I feel it annoyed viewers

The BBC show Your Home Made Perfect, which ran for four series, was fronted by Angela Scanlon. For those of you who are not familiar with it, it allowed homeowners to essentially try before they buy when it came to the remodelling of their home. Two designers went head-to-head and pitched their plans to the homeowners who have to choose which one they prefer. 

The homeowners are able to ‘try before they buy’ thanks to virtual reality technology so they can see what their home might look like before committing to a design. Fans have been quick to react to the BBC axing the show and one wrote: “Noooooooooooooo! (Although I’d quite like to see a similar idea but with people who have bugger all money to spend). #YourHomeMadePerfect

The BBC show Your Home Made Perfect has attracted criticism in the past when actress Jill Halfpenny and her teenage son Harvey were featured in the show. Jill is best known for her roles in Coronation Street and EastEnders and won Strictly Come Dancing in 2014.

Fans were not happy that actress Jill Halfpenny rather than a ‘normal’ homeowner was featured in the TV programme and took to X with their thoughts. One said: “Why not go into a single mothers house who can’t afford to feed her kids properly let alone buy a picture frame. I’m pretty sure Jill Halfpenny can afford to hire someone to remodel her home.”

Although Jill Halfpenny was criticised by fans of Your Home Made Perfect, the actress reportedly paid for the renovations. Despite the criticism, some fans were happy to see Jill on the show and commented: “And also Jill and Harvey seem like genuinely nice people who did not have insane demands and expectations.”

Despite being an initial fan of the show, I can understand why BBC have axed it. Although I did enjoy watching it to begin with, I soon grew tired of the formula and it did start to irritate me. I more often than not did not like what the designers chose and wanted to interject with how I think they should have approached the makeover differently.
