Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen – who admitted he “nearly died” while filming Bear Grylls‘ latest gritty realty series – has slammed her family pad for a lack of “real interiors.”
The 59-year-old Channel 4 host’s brutal remarks came as he discussed his upcoming interiors series, Outrageous Homes.
He was asked if he had watched 35-year-old Stacey’s BBC show Sort Your Life Out and bluntly replied: “No, that’s not design, is it?
“That’s someone folding people’s underpants.”
He added to Closer Magazine: “Why don’t you lock me in Stacey Solomon’s Pickle Cottage and I’ll show her what real interiors look like.
“I could be the creature that drags Stacey Solomon away from folding knickers and painting everything grey!”
Stacey’s series, which kicked off in 2021, sees the X Factor alum re-vamp cluttered homes across the UK, where owners decide which belongings to keep and which to discard.
She recently broke down as she helped a cancer-stricken mum re-do her cluttered pad.
Stacey also choked back tears as a show guest recalled their harrowing past prior to their home makeover.
Meanwhile, Laurence recently showcased his incredible home with a huge extension and quirky design.
The property is truly the hub of the family and houses Laurence and his wife Jackie, their two daughters — Hermione and Cecile — and their husbands — Dan and Drew — and their four grandchildren — Albion, Demelza, Romily, Eleanora.
Last summer, Laurence told the My Dirty Laundry podcast: “We have our big manor house filled with children and pieces of brightly coloured plastic and Peppa Pig again.
“I think it’s something that more and more people should be doing. For us boomers, we’re all sort of surprised we’ve made it to sixty.

“I think everyone thought we would live fast and die young, rather than live very, very slowly and die really quite old.”
BEAR HUNT DRAMA
Yet away from the comforts of his lavish pad, his experience on his new TV show was completely different.
Celebrity Bear Hunt saw some of the UK’s biggest names fly to Costa Rica to take part in a slew of tough-challenges, all whilst hoping to evade the capture of explorer Bear.
The Sun was the first to reveal the full line-up last year, with Mel B, Boris Becker, Una Healy and Shirley Ballas competing – and Holly Willoughby presenting.
While Laurence was first to tell us he received special treatment from show bosses – and was not parted with his personal items – they didn’t help much after he was left fighting for his life.
He previously told MailOnline of the harrowing incident and said: “I really thought I could take this on.
“I was full of adrenaline and I was full of my own abilities which were actually sadly not quite up there.
“I got stuck underneath the raft. But I was really stupid, I didn’t stop at that point.
“I then kept carrying on and then I started blacking out and I started getting these chest pains.”
Talking of his rescue he added: “And the next thing I know I get Bear on top of me – which I know millions of people would give their arm for.
“But he felt like a damp bag of spanners!”
