A little known man in the world of home refurbishments made a stunning debut on BBC One this morning, giving viewers plenty of hope for the future.
It was an episode to enjoy for the neutral, with ex-footballer and Dube inventor extrordinaire Dion Dublin hosting his first ever episode of Homes Under The Hammer.
We’re not particularly qualified to talk on the actual hammering of the homes, but we feel well positioned to say that Dion impressed. The people of the internet certainly seemed to think so.
Carl Frampton was visibly excited
Hold the phone! @DionDublinsDube is presenting Homes Under the Hammer!!! The best show on TV just got better

While others couldn’t believe #HUTH had pulled off such a big signing

And may have directly lead to all these horrible football puns, which we took no part in
Debut watch – Dion Dublin. Visibly nervous start, growing in stature. Bags of potential. Lots of refurbed profitable semis on the horizon.

Solid debut from Dion Dublin on Homes Under the Hammer. Good service from Martin/Lucy. Using a high press on the buyers. Taking his chances

Dion could well be the newest reason for students to fail at uni
Was going to go to uni but then saw that Dion Dublin was on homes under the hammer. This may cause a serious decline in my attendance

There were haters
Why has Dion Dublin suddenly appeared on #HUTH with the other presenters? Were 2 people not enough to discuss naff refurbs? #guiltypleasure

Not sure about Dion Dublin on #HomesUnderTheHammer he doesn't seem like a natural fit on the show.
— Issac Hunt (@PeteMartin2310) April 13, 2015
Dion Dublin just doesn't work in Homes under the hammer. Why fix something that isn't broken? Typical.

But there will always be haters. Fortunately, there were a lot more fans than not. It certainly would have helped Dion’s nerves.
Why am I physically shaking watching this #itsverystrange

What Dion Dublin doesn't know about property development isn't worth knowing @DionDublinsDube

Good luck Dion Dublin. There is a special place in my heart for you because of that head-butt on Robbie Savage. #CheersMate

Kind of
I need this knee to mend & get back to work asap. Can't believe I'm watching Dion Dublin presenting "Homes Under The Hammer
— @goldenbluegirl (@goldenbluegirl) April 13, 2015
But, he did get the biggest compliment he could’ve received
Heh – you'd think Dion Dublin had been doing daytime telly for years judging by Homes Under The Hammer today. Smooth work.

To sum up, Dion appeared a very smooth, and knowledgeable, operator. It gives us great hope for the future of Homes Under the Hammer.
