Richard Bacon on Loose Women talks about producing new Stacey Dooley show This Is My House

It's a new show that's been turning heads for how chaotic yet brilliant things can get during its airtime.

Stacey Dooley's brand new show, This Is My House, continued on BBC One as five celebrities are shown around a home, and they have to guess which of four people actually live there.

Judi Love, Emily Atack, Bill Bailey, Jamali Maddix and guest judge Rob Rinder tried to decipher which of four men, all claiming to be Michael Parish and the home owner, was the real deal, and which were the imposters.

They showed Stacey around their home while the celebrities watched what was going on on a television screen, and the four men tried to persuade Stacey they really lived there.

The show has proven to be very popular among fans and it's been produced by none other than Mansfield-born former Blue Peter presenter Richard Bacon.

Appearing on ITV chat show Loose Women on Tuesday April 20, Richard was asked what it's like to live in his Los Angeles home by Janet Street-Porter.

"I'm lucky, I live in a nice bit of Los Angeles and it is quite showbiz.

"Those tour buses that go past my door, they've yet to mention me, Janet.

"I do live a few doors away from Ariana Grande who lives a few doors from Keanu Reeves, who lives a few doors away from Leonardo DiCaprio, so it's going to be a while before I'm on that list.

Speaking about the show he added: "I tried to set a game show in a house deliberately because they are universal and they are so personal to us as mine is to me."

Richard, 45, went on to add the person who lived in his house before him was legendary X-Men and Star Trek actor Sir Patrick Stewart.

"He actually turned up at the door the other day and he said 'oh hello I'm Patrick Stewart', and I said yeah I know, before he asked I wanted to know if I've got any mail," Richard joked.

The next episode of This is My House will be on BBC One at 9pm on Thursday April 22.
