Homes Under the Hammer's Martin Roberts has hotel room disaster thanks to co-presenter

Homes Under The Hammer star Martin Roberts is used to dealing with properties that are falling down around him or full of leaks. However, he did not expect to encounter this in his hotel room.

The star has posted his hotel room disaster, where water is falling through the ceiling from a light to his Instagram. Martin later found out that the leak was caused by his co-presenter.

Martin posted videos of the leak, which was steadily coming down, and said: "Oh dear! Not the thing you expect first thing in your hotel bedroom." He later discovered the reason behind the leak was actually because of his co-star Martel Maxwell, who also presents Homes Under The Hammer.

He updated his fans with another video, he said: "You'll love this! Turns out it was Martel!...she's in the room above me, she left the tap running." Luckily Martin found the disaster hilarious and was laughing along during the video updates.

Martin and Martel were staying in the hotel as they were filming for a new series of Homes Under The Hammer, the show regularly films in Wales, so there's a good chance the soggy room is in a Welsh hotel. Recently a property investor in south Wales struggled on Homes Under The Hammer when he was forced to double his budget after suffering unwanted delays.

Earlier in April 2022 Martin was rushed to hospital when he suffered a health scare. He explained what happened on Good Morning Britain at the time, he said:

"I was feeling so rubbish that my wife took me to A&E, and basically I was rushed through A&E, and to cut a long story short, they found that I'd actually got water or liquid around my heart, which was compressing the heart to a point where at any point it could have stopped."

"Unlike a normal heart attack there is nothing you can do about it. You can't do the whole defibrillator or chest massage, because the heart itself is literally being strangled."

"So within three to four hours I was on an emergency operating ward, having a tube put into this sack around my heart and they drained off a litre and a half of fluid that was literally sort of strangling myself."
