Big Brother host Will Best recently took to TikTok to share a tour of his London studio flat, revealing the cramped living conditions that prompted his decision to move house. While fans enjoyed the glimpse into his humble abode, one detail stole the spotlight.

In the video, Will, 39, humorously showcased the tight quarters of his flat, joking about the lack of storage space and the unconventional placement of a clothes rail just metres away from the kitchen.

However, viewers couldn't help but comment on the practicality of having clothes in such close proximity to cooking areas, with some expressing concerns about potential odours.

One asked: "Don't the clothes end up smelling being 'in' the kitchen?" while another added: "Constantly looking at coats," with laughing emojis.

Someone else commented: "I’m claustrophobic just watching this video. Go Will go."

In the post, Will said: "Guys, you join me sitting on my sofa as I've reached a pretty massive light crossroads and I've made a huge decision.

"As of now, I'm officially entering the housing market. I'm selling my flat and I'm buying a new house and I'm taking you with me. We're going house hunting.

"I'm gonna take you on every step of the way because I've got to move, I've got to leave and I'm going to start by showing you why I have to exit my lovely Hackney home.

"First things first, you probably just saw in the background of that video, I live with a clothes rail permanently out in the living room and kitchen. Like, I'm just constantly looking at coats.

He humorously highlighted the challenges of living with a stylist, explaining the need for ample storage space, adding: "It's not sustainable, but this will happen if you live with a stylist. I have to wear quite a lot of different clothes and stuff for work. But all the clothes I own have to go in this one cupboard, there's only one drawer. Where do my pants go?

"Mainly just because actually all the main large cupboard space is taken up from a girlfriend who has all of that and storage under here and loads of space.

"And there's just no room for my Big Brother shrine. I've had to put the magazine covers of me and AJ just in a corner. They need their own flipping temple.”

Despite his fondness for the flat, which he renovated himself, Will explained the necessity of moving to a larger space to accommodate his growing needs.

He added: “I worked with a friend who's an architect. I designed the complete renovation, like, how I built rooms in it, worked with an amazing builder, and I want to do renovations on the place that I buy, but we've just outgrown it.”

He teased future videos showcasing the transformation of his current apartment and the search for his new home.

Will's career trajectory, from his beginnings on MTV to his hosting role on Big Brother alongside AJ Odudu, has undoubtedly contributed to his rising star status and financial success, making the move to a more spacious dwelling a natural progression in his life.
