Tommy Walsh from Homes Under The Hammer finds revolting surprise in townhouse that makes him feel queasy due to foul odor

Tommy Walsh was left sick to his stomach on an episode of Homes Under The Hammer, after making a revolting discovery in a property in Windsor.

The presenter, 67, appeared on an edition of the BBC property show alongside Martin Roberts and Dion Dublin last year.

Tommy went to inspect a three-bedroom townhouse, that had a market value of £250,000.

However, as the builder approached the front door, he was suddenly struck by a horrendous stench that made him gag.

He stopped and declared: ‘Something’s wrong there. That’s really ripe, and it’s making my stomach turn over.’

Tommy retched and quickly went to get some protection, insisting: ‘I’m going to get my mask. I’m not going in there without one of them.’

Narrating the episode, Martin revealed to the viewers that the vile smell stemmed from animal waste that had been left uncleaned to rot.

Tommy explained that the property would need wholesale changes, but if it underwent an extensive refurbishment, it could be sold for £525,000.

The townhouse was eventually purchased at auction by mortgage solicitor, Ravi, who paid £411,500.

Adding in the renovations and extra costs, Ravi ended up spending £454,500 on the property and said he was hoping to rent it for between £1800 and £2100 per month.

Tommy’s disgusting discovery comes after he was reportedly axed from Homes Under The Hammer in a huge show shake-up.

Last weekend, it was reported that he is to be replaced by TV weatherman and Radio 2 host Owain Wyn Evans, 39, in a bid to ‘keep younger viewers interested’.

The former Ground Force star has already filmed his final episode last year, according to The Sun.

A source told the publication: ‘Bosses wanted a makeover to keep younger viewers interested.

‘They have been keen to get Owain onto one of their popular shows for a while — he will add a new dynamic.

They added: ‘The upcoming series will feature both Tommy and Owain as there is a three-month lag with the house makeovers, so there is some crossover.’ 

Owain previously hosted regional weather before landing spots on The One Show and his own early morning show on Radio 2, as well as appearing on Homes Under The Hammer’s celebrity special last month. 

Tommy joined the BBC renovation show in 2021, alongside Money for Nothing presenter Jacqui Joseph.

When the news was announced, he said: ‘I’m looking forward to joining the Homes Under The Hammer team, and hope that my knowledge and experience will be a useful addition. 

‘I really enjoy the show and coincidentally the house I share with my family was purchased at auction and we all love it, so hopefully I can help both contributors and viewers with the choices they make too.’

Tommy has been a regular face on TV screens since starring in makeover show Ground Force since 2007.

He was a working builder before getting the role after he was encouraged to audition by a TV producer.

The show became a hit worldwide and Tommy and his co-stars were even invited to the White House to meet the US President George W Bush after making two US series, including a special in New York in wake of 9/11.

The father-of-three Tommy, who has been married to wife Marie for over 30 years, has also released a number of best-selling books.
