. when Iām joined by Scarlett Moffatt. ā¤ļøšš Confused and shaken, Martin and his BBC crew 'tiptoed' upstairs to the bedroom where they saw the 'body under the sheets'.
But as they stood shaken at the door, Martin explained that the 'dead body' started snoring and they soon found out 'someone forgot their grandad'. It was the previous owner's relative. Martin told : "We went to this one house, which had clearly been lived in until very recently.
Almost like the kettle was still hot kind of thing and we went in and then the director went and had a look around. "And she came out absolutely ashen in the face. And she said, ''there is a dead body! There's a dead body in the bed''.
"And we were like, ''well, that's a first, we didn't see that on the risk assessment''. "He said no, no, no. There is a dead body.
"So we all sort of tiptoed into the bedroom and sure enough, there's this body underneath the sheet and we're like, ''we really don't know how to deal with this''. '"And then it started snoring and so we kind of nudged it. "And then this old man sat bolt upright, no teeth and said, ''where's my family?'' and the people had left in such a rush that they forgot grandad.
"Grandad was still sleeping in the bed. The family had left. The house had been sold.
He's suddenly faced with film crew from homes under." Thankfully Martin revealed that their family had not moved too far away from the original house and once they "gave him a cup of tea and calmed him down" the grandad was reunited with his family..
