Stuart and Scarlette Douglas have been collaborating for years, overseeing hundreds of house renovations. The sibling duo joined forces for Channel 4's Worst House on the Street in 2021 and Can't Sell, Must Sell, which was recently renewed for a second series. Whilst filming Worst House on the Street, they encountered newly-weds Ben and Millie, who were aspiring to transform their dilapidated house into their dream forever home.
It was a renovation project that the siblings will always remember, given the emotional circumstances surrounding the family. Upon meeting the couple's family, they learned that Ben's father was unwell.

And he did make it. That, not just for Ben and Millie and for their dad, but for us, the crew, for everybody involved in that show, we were just willing for it to be right and be done for this guy to see it and he did. That was a really beautiful moment.
They even had a baby as well throughout that time. They were pregnant when they started and by the time we'd finished there was a baby. You've got everything in that show.
We've always wanted to get the public involved and it's very difficult. We always renovate properties off camera anyways, so we thought we'd let the public decide what goes into the property. Then it just grew. We're going to let the public d
