GORDON Ramsay fans were left shocked at his X-rated lesbian sex joke on Bank Balance last night. In order to win £100,000 all the contestants have to do in the chef's new BBC game show is transfer gold blocks over to a board. Pretty easy right? Well the board is very unstable, making it ten times harder for the guests to successfully do it. Contestants Lindsey and Vicki - who have been together 17 years and own an online pet shop together - decided to take on the challenge so that they could put the money towards expanding their business. After a shaky start, the pair managed to answer a range of questions about topics such as classic pop, money, children's authors and ball sports. But when the topic of birds came up for the two to answer, Gordon couldn't help himself. He asked: "Have you ever eaten a bird?" The audience began to giggle and Vicki answered: "A long time ago!" Gordon began to list out a range of feathery friends that people like to enjoy … [Read more...] about Gordon Ramsay fans shocked at X-rated lesbian sex joke on new BBC Bank Balance show

A couple say their Help to Buy dream became a nightmare as they claim to have found 150 problems in their new-build home in two years. Amy Fenn, 24, and fiancé George Watts-Sturrock, 32, bought the £265,000 starter home under the flagship Government scheme. But their joy turned to misery with a seemingly never-ending list of “snags”. The couple claim there was damp and mould, uneven walls and unfinished stairs. They say a sink was wonky, doors were wobbly, worktops damaged, tiling was iffy and drains were blocked with rubble. Then – through sheer bad luck, not down to poor building – there were two floods. In that second, a water tank exploded as horrified Amy and George lay in bed. Amy said: “We heard a huge bang and gushing water and found the tank in our boiler system had literally exploded. It has just been one thing after another.” George, who works in quality assurance, said: “We were so excited to get our first home but it’s been a nightmare.” The detached … [Read more...] about Young couple say they’ve found 150 faults in brand-new £265,000 Help to Buy home

A COUPLE say they have found 150 faults with their new £265,000 Help to Buy home. Amy Fenn, 24, and fiancé George Watts-Sturrock, 32, claim to have had endless issues with their "nightmare" new-build - including damp, mould, uneven walls and even a burst water tank and two floods. The pair bought the detached three-bed property in Norfolk in 2018. It was advertised as being part of "a superb collection of stunning homes" by Suffolk builder Hopkins & Moore. It should have been their dream home, but they say it has been "a nightmare". It started with mould in the first week, and then the pair noticed damp, uneven walls and that the stairs were unfinished. They say there was also a wonky sink, wobbly doors, damaged worktops, dodgy tiling and the drains were blocked with rubble. And then to top if off, the couple experienced two floods - one while they lay in bed. Amy told The Mirror : "We heard a huge bang and gushing water and found the tank in our boiler … [Read more...] about Couple say they’ve found 150 FAULTS with ‘mould and burst tank’ in new £265,000 Help to Buy home
