Dermot Bannon has confirmed what fans have been suspecting about Room To Improve as he poked fun at their frustrations with the latest episode of the popular RTE home renovations show.
Viewers expressed their disappointment at Sunday night's show which turned out to be a collection of highlights rather than another renovation.
Taking to social media, one unhappy viewer wrote: "Very disappointed that there's not a proper episode of #RoomToImprove on tonight. No episode at all would have been better than this."

This saw the series come to an end after just five episodes with viewers saying that they would have liked more.
One fan asked the host himself: "So we can only assume Covid is to blame for this extremely short series....so can we look forward to bumper series next year?"
Dermot replied with a simple "yep", which at least means fans can likely get excited for more series of the show.
The architect also saw the funny side of many people's tweets about being disappointed by the finale.
One viewer said: "This is the biggest anti climax since my honeymoon when I was also told there was #RoomToImprove."
Another joked: "If you have been affected by the non issues on tonight’s #RoomToImprove please contact the @rte authority."
Dermot clearly enjoyed the banter, replying with laughing faces to many of the light-hearted complaints.
Deirdre O'Shaugnessy also tweeted: "Are the #RoomToImprove people cheating us out of a real episode … a highlights show.. no thank you"
Dermot told the Irish Mirror: “It’s a look back over the last couple of years but we’ve gathered people who Room To Improve has been a part of their lives.
“We take a look back and have a discussion on Room To Improve in a Gogglebox standard… but it’s them grilling me and asking all the questions that the audience have ever wanted to ask me, the really tough ones.
“I haven’t seen it, but I just remember squirming for most of the day in the chair.
“Majella O’Donnell had a really good go at me most of the time. I don’t think it is a look back, I think it’s more like called constructive criticism.
“It’s the really difficult questions that really everyone wanted to ask about Room To Improve and you know Majella O’Donnell, she has no filter. She didn’t (hold back).”
