Mark lives “like a bum in his own house,” John opens the final episode of the season Monday night. Mark lives in a mega mess, no room is finished. The 26-year-old is so ashamed of his situation that he no longer wants to let his twin brother Rick and mother in because the house has not been cleaned up. “That was actually the last straw for us,” explains mother Els. In addition, Mark is not doing well either. According to his mother, “he’s a bit through it.”
“I worry a lot. It’s just not going well. He’s getting depressed actually. He goes for a walk in the evening to clear his head, because there isn’t one place in his house where he can relax “, she says. “And that goes to my heart.”
According to Els, her son has taken on too much hay. In addition, he does not accept help and has no DIY experience whatsoever. When John comes to take a look with his own eyes, the presenter does not know what he sees. “I’m in shock. (…) This is facking unhealthy. You shouldn’t do this to yourself.”
“I’m on the road all day, in the morning I get up at 5:00 am and go to work. I come home at about 7:00 pm. So I come here, have dinner, I take a shower, go sleep”, Mark defends his lifestyle. “In the weekends I try to plan some fun things. And if I don’t have anything planned, I try to find the motivation to do something in the house. But that doesn’t work very well, I must say.”
Fortunately, Mark accepts the help of John and his team. Priority is given to the living room – actually the whole house has to be taken care of, but then they are still busy for weeks. Because a lot has to be done in a short time, older brother Stefan also comes to help. And the result may be there. After a week of hard work, Mark no longer recognizes his old living room. “Holy shit” is all he can say. “This is really cool. This is so cool.”
Mother Els is also speechless. “How beautiful,” she cries as she hugs her son. “This is not normal, how fantastic. Really great.”
