A family who appeared on DIY SOS last night (May 17) say they have received online abuse - after it took two-and-a-half years for their episode to air. A kind-hearted team from Nick Knowles' BBC One show transformed Jackie and Colin Hutchison's home in Corby, Northamptonshire, in October 2019.
But the coronavirus pandemic meant the rest of the series was only completed this year - hence the delay in the Hutchison's programme hitting our screens. Speaking to BBC Radio Northampton, they revealed they were forced to quit social media after receiving abuse - and have even had to change their phone number, reports Birmingham Live.
Jackie said "a lot of things" had been said about her family. "We were the lucky ones to get it just before Covid hit, but unfortunately that meant we've had to wait nearly two-and-a-half years for it to be aired, which has most probably caused all of these problems that have come our way," she said.
