In Lancashire, 54-year-old Ursula is desperate to tackle her compulsive shopping habit. in Rugby, bachelor Nigel has let his love of car parts take over his home.

With the family forced to prepare their food on an ironing board - despite the numerous kitchen appliances which Ursula has hoarded - the household is at breaking point.

This show really helps me improved my relationship with objects and how ridiculous and dangerous it is to be attached to objects. The only way to show your appreciation to an object is to use it as it is intended to be used, with responsibility and care. Food are meant to be eaten, clothes are to be worn, vehicles for transportation, and books and magazines are to be read, and HOUSES are for living and shelter. If not, the objects are useless to me and I should actively find ways to make sure the objects reach its full potential and purpose through sharing, donating, selling, lending or even giving it away.

This is why "Hoarders" has an extremely high recidivism rate, and within a year or two, the person is stuck in a mess again, sometimes even worse. I love my country but -- when it comes to mental health -- Britain is better. Hoarders is like "The Biggest Loser" -- not only did most of the contestants regain all the weight again, many have been shown to have LOWER metabolisms than someone that weight would normally have.* Edit: The show permanently damaged their metabolism

[@andrewbrendan1579]

Ursula's story is understandable to me. When I was 20 and my brother 22 our father was killed in a horrific head-on collision with a coal truck. I was already suffering from what might be described as anxiety and agoraphobia then after the death of my father, who was quite a case history himself, our family moved to a new town. My brother, who is probably also autistic, became not only a hoarder but a violent hoarder. The death of our father must have been a part of my brother's hoarding. As our mother's health declined my brother's hoarding got worse. Ursula's story give me insight into the story of my own family which may have a genetic tendency to mental problems.

[@catladylifts6931]

Six weeks? The hoarder TV shows in the US give people three days.

[@colleenknapp8626]

US show gives 3 days because the homeowner does little themselves. UK homeowners do it all by themselves after a suggestion offered by the counselor. Giving away 3 gifts previously purchased jumpstarts a complete clean out.

[@randomations11]

And here I am, still blown away that they were able to make this amount of progress in six weeks. Six weeks is really not a long time at all, compared to decades of a severe life disrupting disorder.

[@shelbys2750]

I much prefer the UK version myself.

[@rp338]

UK hoarders are much more chill than the US hoarders. Us hoarders seem meaner and more ornery. The US show has a lot of yelling by angry hoarders even though the teams that help them are so nice

[@Chronicallywitty]

I think it’s also the production and tv styles on American v. UK. That and they’re giving the uk hoarders 6 weeks to get something accomplished on their time with tools as opposed to in America they have like 48 hours with tons of people yelling and not much therapy.

[@carolg.6838]

Exactly. I have not watched the USA show in a while. Those people oten seemed to have severe mental issues and filthy houses as in never washed dishes, took out garbage, and bathrooms that had non-working toilets. Right all in couple of days. Family crying and yelling. That production seemed to me to be insensitive or ridiculing at times. I came across this series and found it respectful. I am glad the people on this show made progress. I have too much stuff too...

[@emmadobbins694]

These are so much more wholesome than the American "Hoarders" programme... they really capitalize on the shock factor and they don't seem to have compassion for the hoarders themselves, seeing as hoarding is a mental health issue. "Hoarders" is just "LOOK AT CRAZY PEOPLE WOW HOW BONKERS ARE THEY? HA HA!" This psych Stelios (sp?) seems to really care about the mental health and happiness of his patients. Much better, IMHO.

[@tamiz8895]

I agree

[@lauras3666]

American version has the most annoying dramatic drama. You can’t just do a clean out, the hoarder if mentally able has to be part of the process or they will just fill up the space again. What the British show isn’t showing is the people power it takes to sort and clear the spaces and clean what’s under the hoards, nor where they are storing the hoard. It’s a process. Physical and mental.

[@Propfaqs]

American Hoarders also deals with much more filth and properties that are uninhabitable plus the weight of the law behind the clean up. Yes... much sadder than these folks.

[@LuckyGuu]

As an American I agree with you 100%. The show over here is all about drama and sometimes they fail to achieve success often because of their bank 💰💰 robber style of get in and get out. One more reason to love British people!

[@christinebutler7630]

On the American version, these folks are in serious legal trouble and that's why the intervention is being done. They're about to lose custody of their kids and pets. They can be thrown into prison for child or animal abuse. They face eviction and having their property condemned for building code and sanitation violations. That means thousands of dollars in fines, and it also means they will be homeless, living on the street. These are some pretty.serious situations. So a."shock" intervention is.necessary. therapy can come later, assuming they have health insurance and haven't been fired from their jobs for "conduct unbecoming". But there's no time for tea.and sympathy, they are fighting to just keep a.roof over these.folks' heads and keep them out of jail.

[@flapkatt6094]

As an American viewer, I enjoy this show so much more than the shocky, bollocky version shown over here. Even up to their eyebrows in clutter, junk, unopened food, gifts, parcels, and maybe the occasional animal tagging along, they're all very respectful of each other, very conversational and polite, always saying please and thank you to each other. They don't seem to have the toxicity of Yanks getting all bullish about the hoards they clear and manage. No one stomps off-camera shouting obscenities or blaming others for the state of their lives. The other great part is the people aren't being threatened by strangers pawing over their belongings, and as far as I have watched this show, I haven't yet seen the police, housing authorities, code managers shaking their heads and threatening to doze the homes down on people if they don't meet a certain standard by 2 pm. I suppose the thing is the UK production isn't just another reality show to make ratings and money. Yanks can be so bullish and rude; these clients need the tact and touches of gentle but firm insistence that the hoard isn't giving them what they thought it would. Therefore it does seem to make it a little easier to change the beliefs and the behavior rather than have an intrusive and unyielding force field of turbulence used to threaten and coerce the changes. That whole thing about catching more flies with honey than vinegar is at work here. I appreciate the crew also seems to slightly fade into the background so the process is accomplished with as little confrontation and resistance as possible. It's still hoarding and it is pernicious, but no one is made to be on the defense all the time.

[@dianemohammed7294]

Its so silly but if that was my mom & i was living in that house...unopened boxes, i'm sure she wouldnt notice a few missing boxes (secretly decluttering😊 free shopping 👌)

[@bestbargainfashion5575]

More hoarders than I ever realized when I was younger. Seems it is rather predictable and that there are definitely common threads for therapists to work with. Fascinating and exhausting processes. Whew!

[@PrincessZ1]

The big difference with the UK show compared to the US Hoarders, the music sounds so cheery when they show the house. It kind of makes me laugh a bit. 😁

[@lindagodichiabois2768]

Both homes would still drive me insane with the clutter left AFTER decluttering. *shiver*

[@dr.jenniferma3914]

There should be a name for fearing becoming a hoarder. I have this fear that my stuff will just keep growing and become unruly. I can tell I have this compulsion to clutter my home if left unchecked. It's sort of like when you know you could eat a full box of pizza.

[@shelbys2750]

Interesting, I fear cluttering my house eventhough it is mostly uncluttered and I hate clutter and I declutter all the time.

I came across these videos about hoarding in UK recently. I noticed most of the hoarders on these videos all have nice homes in nice areas. Good sized homes at that. Aren't there any hoarders who rent one bedroom apartments? Hoarders who don't own a home but rent an apt.?

[@lucillecooper3600]

Blessings to the kind human beings whi assist care and never give up on the hoarders!!

[@annaamira3487]

We are so proud of Stellios!!!So kind and gentle

[@Katiedora122]

I think the most shocking thing to me is that the show is narrated by Olivia Colman!?!? I cannot believe how many episodes I've watched without realizing this...

[@lovetodaylisa3967]

The difference between a hoarder and the average consumer is the hoarder lives with the trash they bought

[@Skeptigal1]

"Local cash converter"? Why don't we have those in America? Much easier than listing things for sale on Craig's List! I just donate everything because selling is such a hassle... Would love this option!

[@Skeptigal1]

Wait. Is that a PAWN BROKER? We have those..............

[@lauras3666]

We do many places have eBay lister, junk shops, pawn shops.

How beautiful her house is ! I'm so happy for her !

[@amylee3531]

I would LOVE to see a series in UK that deals with Shopaholics. But instead of tossing or selling every single item that's usable to specific people, they give items to homeless people, or struggling families, shelters etc. THEY would actually appreciate the items! I'd like It to happen globally but the UK is so great at tv. I think they would do it right. Wouldn't that be such a great thing to watch?

[@RuubinSelena]

I love the two declutter ladies with the Karen hairstyles, proving that not everyone with that hair is a true Karen 😂

[@taylorfausett177]

Are you living in the US? Do they have "Karens" in the UK?

[@RuubinSelena]

@@taylorfausett177 "Karen" is world wide, every place has Karens

[@teresahiggs4896]

It’s insulting to assume that women wirh short hair are “ Karens” .

[@RuubinSelena]

@Teresa Higgs this hair cut isn't just "short hair". This hair cut is often called the "I want to speak with the manager" hair cut.

[@teresahiggs4896]

@@RuubinSelena it is still extremely insulting!

[@rosemarybelore6622]

Love this series and will continue to watch! It’s inspired me to declutter as well ❤️

[@auntlinda7132]

Oh, no! Her husband and son blame her for the chaos??? How could they? Yes, hoarders need therapy.

[@royalkingdomcommando72]

These videos are fantastic and the people are so loving to the hoarders!

[@glitterinmyeyes333]

I really enjoyed how they filled the new clean houses with family and friends and laughter. 😍

[@endeavouringit]

Both people are amazing, a few too many knick knacks around for my liking still, but so much better

[@MyReflectionLucretia]

I liked so much Ursula. Very nice lady indeed. I hope with all my heart that she will finish declutering all the house (British architecture is amazing!) and be very very happy. I wonder if Stelios is Greek. I am almost certain that the name is Greek.

[@alexsilva-vn7jc]

Yes, he´s Greek 😊

Shopping has become too easy with online available 24/7 Sadly what I noticed is they spend SO much on stuff..... And most times look like they neglect themselves Imagine how many facials. Hair appts. Etc Nice holidays. Nice furniture I hope they can ALL be helped 💜

Lol. There's irnoy in getting a Temu ad during a hoarders show. Lol

I'm so happy they've got their lives back. I hope they can sustain it. Stelios is amazing how he helps people reclaim their lives and space. Plus he's gorgeous!!! ⚘
