Four in a Bed contestants were forced to sleep in their car after being less than thrilled with their accommodation. Sisters Lesley and Sarah were due to host the final visit of the week but both fell ill and couldn't attend to their guests. Instead, Sarah's husband welcomed them and showed them to their pods.

Initially, the rooms seemed satisfactory but, upon closer inspection, Mat and Helen were dissatisfied with the cleanliness of their room, finding earwigs in the sink and smoke from a silicone flue repair in their yurt in Pembrokeshire. They were moved to another, but the issues persisted. Helen commented on the bed covers: "It feels damp" while Mat added: "There's dirt, hairs, there's a stain. It's just very dirty."

Unhappy with their room, they opted to sleep in their car instead of their pod, reports the Express. The following day, Mat reflected on their decision: "The sleep was pretty poor, wasn't it? We slept in the car, I think I got about 45 minutes all in all."

When it came time for feedback, the guests didn't hold back on their hygiene concerns, with Mat and Helen scoring them a three. Upon receiving the negative feedback, Lesley and Sarah were visibly upset. Lesley expressed her disappointment, saying: "Gutted, I'm trying really hard not to cry actually. There's obviously more people who don't like glamping."

While they dismissed the criticism about their bedding as nonsense, they did concede there was a problem with bugs. Lesley further explained: "Yes, there probably were earwigs in the sink, it's glamping, it's outdoors, it's not bugged tight."

Channel 4 viewers took to X to voice their opinions, with one saying "Really harsh scoring. Unfair!" and another saying "Wow these people are SO awfully critical." A third added: "Don't think I've ever seen it where someone has slept in their car."
