BIG Brother host Will Best gave fans a TikTok tour of his ‘claustrophobic’ flat yesterday, but fans couldn’t get over one ‘disgusting’ detail.
Will, 39, showed his followers around the humble pad before moving house, while joking about his lack of storage space and inability to build a shrine dedicated to the ITV show.
The presenter wasn’t shy about revealing his London studio apartment features a clothes rail just metres away from its kitchen units – although it didn’t go down so well with viewers.
One asked: “Don’t the clothes end up smelling being ‘in’ the kitchen?” while another added: “Constantly looking at coats,” with laughing emojis.
Someone else chimed in with: “I’m claustrophobic just watching this video. Go Will go.”
In the post, Will said: “Guys, you join me sitting on my sofa as I’ve reached a pretty massive light crossroads and I’ve made a huge decision.
“As of now, I’m officially entering the housing market. I’m selling my flat and I’m buying a new house and I’m taking you with me. We’re going house hunting.
“I’m gonna take you on every step of the way because I’ve got to move, I’ve got to leave and I’m going to start by showing you why I have to exit my lovely Hackney home.
“First things first, you probably just saw in the background of that video, I live with a clothes rail permanently out in the living room and kitchen. Like, I’m just constantly looking at coats.
“It’s not sustainable, but this will happen if you live with a stylist. I have to wear quite a lot of different clothes and stuff for work. But all the clothes I own have to go in this one cupboard, there’s only one drawer. Where do my pants go?
“Mainly just because actually all the main large cupboard space is taken up from a girlfriend who has all of that and storage under here and loads of space.
“And there’s just no room for my Big Brother shrine. I’ve had to put the magazine covers of me and AJ just in a corner. They need their own flipping temple.
“Currently, my 34-year-old girlfriend’s doll’s house doesn’t have its own table. I’ve had to build a s****y shell. I’m literally the founder of a cocktail drinks company but my drinks section is that. I need a trolley, I need a bar.”
After having a joke about his gaff, Will concluded: “Look, I absolutely love this flat. I renovated it myself. When I bought it, it was just an empty shell being used as a photography studio.
“I worked with a friend who’s an architect. I designed the complete renovation, like, how I built rooms in it, worked with an amazing builder, and I want to do renovations on the place that I buy, but we’ve just outgrown it.
“Next video, I’m going to take you through the before and after of turning this place into what it is now. And then here’s my house onto the property. Stay tuned.”
It’s no wonder Will is moving onto greener pastures, with his star – and bank balance – rising as a result of his Big Brother job.
Will kicked off his presenting career on MTV.
Teaming up with none other than Girls Aloud’s Kimberley Walsh, he presented a series called Suck My Pop on VIVA, as well voicing the MTV Top 20 chart.
He went on to join the T4 family in 2011, hosting the show’s annual T4 on the Beach series and other slots.
A familiar face at music festivals, in 2012 and 2013, Will presented Channel 4’s coverage of the iTunes Festival alongside Nick Grimshaw.
He later teamed up with Simon Cowell for the online project, You Generation TV, a weekly global show which searched for talented viewers.
Will also hosted a live Skype slot titled Ask Simon, from The X Factor judge’s LA home.
The popular presenter also hosted Dance, Dance, Dance alongside Alesha Dixon.
But it was in 2023 that Will landed his biggest show to date, when he started hosting the rebooted Big Brother alongside AJ Odudu.
