Sort Your Life Out star Iwan Carrington ‘lived on the floor of his own home for months’

Sort Your Life Out star Iwan told Metro back in 2022 that he “lived on cardboard on the floor of his home for months”.

I have fond memories of eating pizza on camping chairs on top of a makeshift cardboard carpet.

Iwan bought his first home, a two-bedroom apartment in south-east London, in 2009. He revealed: “Cash was tight so doing it up was on a total budget. One of the first things I did was rip up the old carpet, and for the first couple of months I lived on cardboard on the floor.”

He added: “Some of the floorboards were very damaged and beneath them I found some interesting things, like an old Coke can and a Smarties tube from the 1980s.”

But he does have “fond memories” of those first few months in his own home: “I have fond memories of eating pizza on camping chairs on top of a makeshift cardboard carpet after moving in,” he giggled.

What else has Iwan presented?

You might recognise some of Iwan’s presenting jobs outside of Sort Your Life Out too.

Iwan joined Steph’s Packed Lunch in 2020 as the show’s bargain and deals hunter. He shared weekly deals with Steph McGovern and viewers at home before the Channel 4 show was sadly axed.

“I love working with Steph. She’s such a delight to work with,” Iwan said before the show went off air. “She is the most professional person and she just creates an amazing atmosphere in the studio. She’s a powerhouse.”

Iwan has even had success in the States. He presented series one of Big Block Overhaul in 2022.

The show was a “social experiment in which a team of experts helps a group of neighbouring families to work together to declutter, organise, clean and redesign their homes, in just five days”. Sounds like his experience with Stacey might just have helped him on that one!
