"I think someone might have left the bath running upstairs." The presenter later took to Instagram to revealed he identified his co-host, Martel Maxwell, as the "culprit".

He said: "You'll love this. Turns out it was Martel. We're in a little hotel doing links for Homes Under the Hammer. She's in the room above me. She left the tap running and, to defend her, there was a power cut, she got a bit confused, went to the reception.
