This is My House on BBC One – what’s it about?
BBC One’s new game show tests the people-reading skills of us viewers – and a celeb panel.
In what can only be described as a cross between Through the Keyhole and Would I Lie to You, five famous faces must guess who is the REAL owner of a house they’ve never seen before.
The first episode introduces us to four people all claiming to be called Fern (including a man).
They must all convince the celebrity guessers that THEY live in an immaculate barn conversion in Ashford, Kent.
Of course, only one of the ‘Fern’s’ is the real owner.
Which celebs take part in This is My House?
Stacey Dooley hosts the property-based guessing game.
It’s up to celebrity judges Bill Bailey, Emily Atack, Judi Love and Jamali Maddix to figure out which so-called home owner is telling the truth.
The foursome will be joined each week by a special guest.
Can they sniff out the imposter?
Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen joins in the fun for the first episode.
