Homes Under the Hammer host Tommy Walsh’s ‘stomach turns’ after REVOLTING discovery in £250k townhouse
HOMES Under the Hammer presenter Tommy Walsh admitted that he felt sick to his tomach before he even stepped into a property on the latest episode of the series due to its horrendous ‘ripe’ smell.
Martin Roberts and Dion Dublin also graced Tuesday's edition of the BBC programme, where Tommy visited the unusual townhouse.
During the Homes Under The Hammer instalment, Tommy visited Windsor, where the builder inspected a three-bedroom townhouse which made his "stomach turn".
The property’s market value was £250,000, but the 67-year-old was nearly put off stepping through the front door due to a revolting stench.
In the episode, Tommy stated: "Something's wrong there. That's really ripe, and it's making my stomach turn over.
"I'm going to get my mask. I'm not going in there without one of them."

Property expert Martin narrated the episode and confirmed that the unpleasant and nasty smell resulted from uncleaned animal waste, which had been left to rot.
Tommy, who was recently axed from the BBC show, explained that the property needed wholesale changes, but if it was refurbished to a decent standard, it could be put on the market and resold for £525,000.
At the auction, a mortgage solicitor named Ravi purchased the house for £411,500.
In total, including renovations, Ravi spent £454,500 on the property and is looking to rent it out between £1800 and £2100 per month.

Last week on Homes Under The Hammer, host Dion was left fearing he was "out of a job" as Toyah Wilcox joined the show as a guest presenter as part of a slew of celebrity specials.
The BBC property series welcomed five different celebrities to guest co-host the show in a series first.
Kicking off proceedings was 80s popstar Toyah Wilcox as she joined the former footballer on a property hunt.
The pair inspected a three-bedroom semi-detached home in Birmingham, about 20 minutes from where Toyah grew up.
Toyah, dressed in a chic orange dress, was eager to enter and look around the house.
