TX: Week 18

The Hoarder Next Door is a brand new series about Britain's growing numbers of extreme hoarders and their quest to cure themselves with the help of friends and family.

There are an estimated 1.2 million hoarders in Britain and the condition is becoming so widespread that it is soon to be classified as a recognised mental illness in its own right. As the series discovers, many of today's hoarders lead apparently ordinary lives but behind their front door lies a shocking reality of homes packed to the brim with accumulated bric-a-brac, rooms infested with vermin and families pushed to the brink.

In this four-part series cameras will follow a group of hoarders as they embark upon a unique six-week treatment programme with psychotherapist Stelios Kiosses and his team of expert de-clutterers.

Can a mixture of analysis, alternative treatment and practical advice help them change their lives for the better, or even for good?
