Property Brothers star Jonathan Scott revealed the iconic Cher once slid into his DMs during the pandemic.
Scott, 45, and his twin brother Drew, appeared on Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush’s hour of TODAY to promote their new show Backed By the Bros.
Jonathan – who was spotted at the Fashion Trust Awards with fiancee Zooey Deschanel last week – and his brother were on a segment called Hot Seat, when they were asked if any celebrities have slid into their DMs.
‘Oh I have a good one! Cher!’ Jonathan said, which stunned both Hoda and Jenna during the segment, as Drew added, ‘Yeah, she’s a big fan of the show.’
‘Yeah, it was not in a romantic way, but she had watched one of our shows and she was just saying she was watching this during the pandemic. And so I immediately was like, “Call everyone I know!”‘ he said.

‘Oh I have a good one! Cher!’ Jonathan said, which stunned both Hoda and Jenna during the segment, as Drew added, ‘Yeah, she’s a big fan of the show’
Drew added, ‘No, but she actually, she came just to say, “Why the hell don’t the home owners listen to you?” And in the DM she was like, “That home owner needs to listen to you more.”‘
When they asked if he responded, Jonathan said, ‘Did I respond to Cher? Of course I responded to Cher! I was single at the time so I was like, “OK, what’s happening,” no,’ he joked.
‘No, I responded and I laughed and she was funny,’ Drew added of the encounter with Cher.
The brothers were promoting their new show Backed By the Bros, which finds them providing their connections and resources to struggling property investors.
They showed a clip from the show as the hosts said it sounds like there will be quite a bit of drama, which Drew confirmed.
‘Tell me, if you were doing a renovation project and you had us come in and say, “We will be there to help you, bring contractors, designers and help you and we give you advice, would you turn around and do the opposite of what we advise?’ Drew asked.
Jonathan added that, ‘many people do,’ and that, ‘you’ve never seen a show like this on HGTV because these people are literally at the brink where they are going to lose everything.’
He added that one of the couples had their, ‘retirement savings, their five kids’ college funds’ sucked into the renovation.’
Drew added, ‘No, but she actually, she came just to say, “Why the hell don’t the home owners listen to you?” And in the DM she was like, “That home owner needs to listen to you more”‘
When they asked if he responded, Jonathan said, ‘Did I respond to Cher? Of course I responded to Cher! I was single at the time so I was like, “OK, what’s happening,” no,’ he joked
‘We’re coming in and trying to rescue them but still some of them don’t listen,’ Jonathan insisted.
Drew added, ‘These are their projects and we’re trying to support them so we’re not coming in and taking the reins. It’s still theirs, we’re just trying to bring our resources.’
He admitted that sometimes they do, ‘make different decisions and we still try to get them on track, but at the end of the day, not all of them are successful stories.’
The new series debuts June 5 on HGTV.
