A couple who live in a fly-infested home amid piles of rotting takeaways are going head to head with a flat of party boys to see who can do a better job of cleaning up the other's mess.
Belfast couple Sarah and Jordan are taking on party boys Matthew, Lorcan, Gavin and Ronan in the new BBC Three series Fight Dirty.
The show pits each group of friends against each other to clean their rivals' house within five hours, with the winners scooping a £1,000 prize.
But in order to win, they have to wade through months of caked on grime, mould, and filth.
Sarah and Jordan, from Belfast, admit to being so lazy they don't bother to put their takeaways in the bin, especially after nights out.
Sarah says her motto is “out of sight out of mind”, with takeaways getting lost in the mess.
They do their laundry just once a month and have even bought new clothes when they don't feel like putting on a wash.
As a result, their bedroom is filled with rubbish, mouldy food and even soiled underwear.
The stench of their home is so bad that Sarah, whose mum is a cleaner, says: "You can feel it in your eyes, you can taste it, you just have to sit in it."
She added: “To be fair, a lot of the time this year, we bought new clothes instead of cleaning.”
But their rivals, students Matthew, Lorcan, Gavin and Ronan, may just live in an equally squalid house.
Their kitchen sink is blocked because it is full of vomit and their toilet features an unpleasant build up of faeces, the result of a bad encounter between Ronan and a Mexican meal.
It's going to be a close-run competition and on entering Sarah and Jordan's place, which they share with fellow couple Paddy and Ciarane, Matthew says: "The taste of that smell has scared me for life. I thought we were bad but this is next level."
Upon entering their bedroom, Gavin finds a pair of once-white boxer shorts which he claims are now "crusty, mouldy, stinking".
But he admits that their own place, which they rent nearby, is not much better.
"If my mum or my dad were to walk into this house, they'd call me a disgrace. It's minging," he says.
Describing the filthy new show, the BBC said: "As well as some truly jaw-dropping filth, along the way there’s top cleaning hacks, like using cola to clean a vile toilet, why damping down mould before scraping it off could save your health.
"There’s also a special tip from our very own Grime Artist. If there’s one thing she likes more than Grime Music, it’s actual grime and she’s written a track that tells you how to clean your mouldy shower using the power of slugs. Seriously."
