We want to nose around some properties again!

Homes Under the Hammer star Martin Roberts has revealed that the hugely popular property show is restarting filming.

Like many series, Homes Under the Hammer had to stop filming due to the coronavirus pandemic. But Martin has now tweeted the happy news that he’s about to shoot his first Homes Under the Hammer since lockdown.

Martin revealed that he was heading down to a property in Devon. “It’s going to be really interesting to see how it goes, I think it’s me and a cameraman, so it’s going to be interesting.”

He told his Twitter followers he’d take some pictures.

The show, which first started in 2003, has become a stalwart of BBC1’s daytime schedule, so the broadcaster will no doubt be delighted to have it back up and running.
