FOR the first time ever in Four In A Bed, guests were forced to sleep in their car after their hosts disappeared.
Sisters Lesley and Sarah welcomed their fellow competitors to their glamping site Hideaway Escapes in Pembrokeshire – but all did not go to plan.
Competing against the pair were Liam and Rachel, Joe and Pat and Helen and Matt.
Four In A Bed sees B&B owners open their doors to other owners as they take turns staying with each other for a chance to be crowned the best hosts.
However, during Thursday’s instalment of the Channel 4 show the guests were left unimpressed with their accommodations.
The final visit of the week was supposed to be hosted by Lesley and Sarah, but due to illness, they couldn’t attend to the other contestants throughout their stay.
Instead, Sarah’s husband welcomed them onto the property and showed them to the rooms they would be staying in.
Upon first inspection, everything seemed fine with the rooms, but after a closer look, things weren’t what they expected.
After finding earwigs in the sink Mat and Helen were dissatisfied with the cleanliness of their room.
The couple also noticed that the silicone on the chimney repair was causing smoke in the yurt.
As they stripped the room down and moved to another room, the problems persisted as Helen pulled back the bed covers and remarked: “It feels damp.”
“There’s dirt, hairs, there’s a stain. It’s just very dirty,” Matt added.
Disappointed with their room, Matt and Helen decided to sleep in their car instead.
Mat reflected on their decision to sleep away from their pod, the following day.
He said: “The sleep was pretty poor, wasn’t it? We slept in the car, I think I got about 45 minutes all in all sleep-wise.”
The pair explained that the mattress was dirty with hair on the bedsheets.
They also mentioned spotting dampness in their room which made them opt for their motor.
The guests didn’t hold back on their views on hygiene, when it came time to give feedback, with Mat and Helen giving them a score of three.
Lesley and Sarah were visibly upset after receiving the negative feedback.
Expressing her disappointment, Lesley said: “Gutted, I’m trying really hard not to cry actually.
“There’s obviously more people who don’t like glamping.”
As the episode aired, Channel 4 fans took to X(Twitter) and voiced their opinions on the issues stated.
One wrote: “Really harsh scoring. Unfair!”
A second chimed: “Wow these people are SO awfully critical #fourinabed.”
“Don’t think I’ve ever seen it where someone has slept in their car,” penned a third.
Despite dismissing the criticism about their bedding as nonsense, Lesley and Sarah admitted that bugs were a problem.
Lesley further explained: “Yes, there probably were earwigs in the sink, it’s glamping, it’s outdoors, it’s not bug-tight.”
In the next episode of Four in a Bed viewers will witness one of the pairs be crowned the best B&B host.
Four in A Bed is available to stream online on Channel 4.
