Phil pitched up at the home near South Woodford, East London, only to find a large 'SOLD' sign outside.
But if he was looking for any sympathy from his old house-hunting pal, he didn't get it when he called up for a chat.
He told her: "I turned up to the house, whacking great sold sign outside. I had to explain that to them looking like a right monkey."
No-nonsense Kirstie replied: "I think monkey's a nice way of putting it. I would say total blithering idiot."

Viewers saw Phil arrive at the property, which would have perfect for his house-buyers, saying: "Oh dear this is not good news.
"I've just arrived at the property and seen that - a sold board. About two hours an offer was accepted so it is not available and I can't sell it to them.
"I'm now short of a property to show them and they will be here in a few minutes time. Great. Lucky Phil."
However, the pair were understanding when he explained that the speed of the sale just proved what they were up against.

However, in the end, Phil pulled through for them - with the couple having an offer accepted on a maisonette for £325,000.
