No one knew who he was. And let's face it, he isn't a property expert-he HOSTS a show that contains property experts 😀😀 Oh woe.

He hosts a show because he is a property expert. He's been a developer for around 25 years.

Wasn't he a surveyor too? I'd say he qualifies as a property expert.

I'm hoping for good things from Martin. Can't stand Danny Baker though - the emptiest vessels make the most noise!

Surely they must have had to go quite low down a list to get him on

Would you post information proof of this?

How does being a developer equal celebrity sratus??

Exactly.

Oh come on. He's a presenter of an apparently popular tv show and that's more than enough to qualify him as an IAC celeb. I'll take 10 of someone like him any day of the week over some obnoxious, attention-seeking one-note, orange RTV tw*at.

Scarlet sits on her a$$ and watches TV for a living, ppl considers her as a Celeb

Martin was a DJ also is a TV presenter... Wish You Were Here (ITV), Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is & Homes Under The Hammer (BBC).

He's a Property Developer & an Author.
Martin also studied Electronic Engineering at Bradford University.

I would say Martin has more of a Celeb Status than Scarlet

Thanks for the info. Yes, I agree, he has more status than little miss moffatt.

I'd never heard of Scarlett but knew who Martin Roberts was.

Me too.

He's co-presenter on a show which is on BBC One 6 days a week - probably gets more airtime than most of the other contestants!

He came to our house auction and wanted to follow it up with the the buyers would not agree with it -- thank goodness as we made quite a profit and they had to spend lots.

he's very camp, i thought he was gay but he has a wife n kids

I love the way none of his clothes fit. Bless him he is bursting out of his flowery shirts and coats on every programme of HUTH. Think he likes his puds.

Don't they usually put someone famous-ish in at this point?

Easily the biggest star they've ever had. Apparently they've been after him for years. Must have paid him an absolute fortune.

Did they pay him in cash or just promise him immunity from any sexual harassment lawsuits.

Martins your man

I'm so out of touch with who's who nowadays.

I always found him up his own backside on Homes under the Hammer and tonight my opinion hasn't changed.

He's a diva

Agree with this, it is obvious he likes things his own way, he was like a spoilt brat when he had to eat the rice and beans after his team lost, he knew what he was getting himself into when he agreed to go on the show. It is also obvious he is getting peed off with Danny Baker, he is going to lose it big time with him in the next few days.

I had a strange feeling he'd be a nice guy. Probably because I thought David Emmanuel was wonderful and I desperately want an older campmate like that again who is a saint while resonating with the audience*.

COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE WRONG with my gut feeling on this one.

Absolutely awful first episode for him. Looked overly annoyed at Sam right from the outset (who, to be fair, wasn't great at that trial), then acted like a petulant child over the rice and beans, and the camera caught a lot of irritated body language tonight at the live trial. You could see how annoyed he was in his eyes when they were explaining the head to head with him. The live edit cannot lie as much as the highlights that we see in the rest of the episode.

I actually think he might walk. He seems that fed up already.

*Larry is still a hope for this. He's been a great guy so far
