Grand Designers viewers spot ‘naked man’ behind Kevin McCloud
>
Viewers of Grand Designs got more than they bargained for on Wednesday after some spotted a ‘naked man’ in the garden of one of the houses.
As Kevin McCloud spoke to the camera during the show’s House of the Year series earlier this week, some viewers saw a striking figure behind the host.
The figure, which appeared to be completely nude, shocked viewers at the beginning of the episode, when Kevin hosted the show from a modern-looking kitchen in an unknown location.
However, it turns out that there was no naked intruder and that the figure was merely a statue in the garden.
Viewers of Grand Designs did a double take, convinced they had seen a naked man in the background on this week’s show.
Meanwhile, viewers were left unimpressed by a fake metal mountain sprawl that cost £220,000 and was featured in the same episode.
Earlier this week viewers teased ITV’s A Royal Grand Design in which the King took on a £45m restoration project that reminded them of Channel 4’s Grand Designs.
The surreal moment occurred early in the episode, as Kevin was introducing the different houses that would be featured on Wednesday’s show.
The presenter could be seen eating a cronut, a cake that is part donut, part croissant, from a state-of-the-art kitchen that opened onto a garden at the rear of the house.
The show began with a shot of Kevin enjoying cronuts in a state-of-the-art kitchen, as he prepared to introduce the various properties on display.
The host used the analogy of the cronut, which he said combines the best ideas of the things we “know and love,” to introduce houses on Wednesday’s episode.
As the camera panned around Kevin, a nude silhouette could be seen standing outside the bay window.
The moment was made even more surreal by the fact that Kevin didn’t notice the figure behind him and happily munched on a cronut on camera.
Viewers took notice, with one saying, “Why is there a naked man standing in the background behind Kevin McCloud while he’s talking about Cronuts!!?”
Channel 4 eventually confirmed that the silhouette was just a statue used to decorate the garden, and not a live nude photobomber.
The striking sculpture wasn’t the only thing that had people talking as the episode aired.
Onlookers noticed the figure, which appeared to be a naked man, lurking behind the far windows.
The figure, which turned out to be a sculpture, comically resembled a naked man watching over Kevin from the garden.
Viewers took to Twitter to share their surprise after seeing the man in the background of the shot.
In the third show of the series, Kevin and his co-hosts, architect Damion Burrows, Natasha Huq and design expert Michelle Ogundehin, toured five properties vying for a spot on the shortlist, all of which pushed the boundaries of design. conventional.
The last house to be featured on the show was called Mountain View, in London, with architect Matt designing the property and it is an unusual extension for his young family to live.
However, many onlookers were stunned by the construction, with one commenting, “The final house at Grand Designs tonight is the most horrible thing I’ve ever seen.” It looks like the clubhouse of a Spanish go-kart track from the 90’s.
Another wrote: ‘So an extension with a stupid dash to pretend it’s a mountain. Yeah, really smart stuff. Yawn!’
A ‘ghastly’ property with a modern extension featuring an attached faux metal mountain came under fire from viewers of Grand Designs: House of the Year last night
Despite Matt and Laura’s enthusiasm for the property, many who looked on declared the house “awful” and likened it to a children’s play area.
A third added: ‘All the crap at House of the Year tonight. Lawrence Llewelyn Bowen finds that he can’t decide what junk to use.
Earlier in the series, Kevin explored homes built in challenging circumstances, as well as impressive homes.
But last night, the presenter explained that each of the different houses “does their thing.”
He said: ‘These are buildings that boldly go where no house has gone before, making us rethink what a home can be.
‘[They are] following a revolutionary new space and maybe even accidentally starting a new architectural movement of their own.
‘These are houses that break the mold, that show the power of risk taking. Where they lead, the rest of us will surely follow.’
The last original pioneer house was hidden behind the back of a neat and proper house in South West London.
