A heated clash between Nick Knowles and fellow DIY SOS builder Julian Perryman had viewers talking on Tuesday night.
The scene of the drama was a community project in Stoke-on-Trent, Stoke Live reports. The Big Build team's a community centre and garden for residents to help the most vulnerable, combat loneliness and help foster community spirit in Staffordshire. Worried by the state of the water-logged ground once work had begun onsite, presenter Nick Knowles, 59, said: "By mid-morning, we've found ourselves in a bit of a hole.
"The water table is like six inches below the surface. We've found the old stream, it's got nowhere to go." Pointing to the trees, a concerned Mr Knowles continued: "The line of trees grew in what was a ditch a long time ago. Because the roots fill up that ditch, water can't go down it so the water percolates into the ground around it.

"Now we've opened this up, all of a sudden the water that has been making the ground boggy has been released. And you can see the speed that the stream has been running underground. The trouble is, where do we then send this water? Because when digging this hole, all we're doing is creating a swimming pool.
"If it rains really heavily, that water table comes up another six inches. Then we have a flooded site."
An agitated Jules replied: "Well you ain't gonna change that. Because that's obviously the lay of the land." Mr Knowles snapped back with: "We still have to come up with a plan, because otherwise the water table-"
But before he could answer, Jules shouted over him: "I know how water works!". An undeterred Nick said "What's the point in planting vegetables and building an amphitheatre if it's all going to be six inches underground?"
Jules clearly had no more time for the conversation, adding: "What are you going to do? You cannot change the law of physics!". Speaking to viewers at home, Nick said: "He sounds a little stressed. Does he sound a little bit stressed to you?"
Fans watching the show clearly noticed the tension. Taking to Twitter, Nicky said: "@MrNickKnowles no matter how hard you try I think our Jules is a bit grumpy [laughing emoji], still doesn’t stop all the hard work".
Lydia said: "Whoa Jules woke up on the wrong side of bed me thinks [cry-laughing emojis]".
