BBC One - Sort Your Life Out, Series 3, Episode 5

Dog lover Michelle, husband James and their two children need a life-changing declutter.

Stacey Solomon and her crack team help dog lover Michelle, husband James and their two children transform their family home through a life-changing declutter.

Stacey and her gang - organiser Dilly, carpenter Rob and cleaner Iwan - challenge the Seabrook family to sort their life out in seven days. In order to do this, they have to embark on a mammoth declutter. They ask the family to try and let go of half their possessions so that they can then beautifully reorganise the home.

With Stacey’s help, the family start packing possessions into boxes. Every single item is stripped from the home, revealing how much space they actually have. We get to know the family behind the clutter – Michelle, who runs a dog grooming business from her garage, husband James, their son Jacob and Michelle’s son from a previous relationship, Harry. Last but not least are the two cats and seven dogs who rule the roost.

With the house all packed up, the family’s possessions are laid out in a giant warehouse like an art installation of their entire lives, including 1066 toys, 71 pairs of leggings, 88 towels and 32 dog bowls. With everything displayed in front of them, the family are shocked to see how much they really own and how it all fitted into their house in the first place.

The family go through their most treasured items, with mum Michelle coming to terms with the loss of her previous dogs and learns to put herself and her family first. The items they do decide to let go of will be put into piles to recycle, donate or sell.

At the house, Rob breathes new life into the home, with some ingenious carpentry for the grooming salon in the garage and a cleverly repurposed bed and storage solution in Jacob’s bedroom. Cleaner Iwan gives the home a supersize spring clean, with lots of useful tips along the way, and organiser Dilly reinstates the kitchen as a human-only space and shows us how to organise a tool shed.

When the family are left with only the must-keep items, they are packed back up to the house before it’s stylishly refilled by Stacey and her team, ready for the big reveal to the family. Have they really managed to transform this family home by decluttering, organising and upcycling alone?
