Four in a Bed star 'uncomfortable' after brutal underpayment for hotel stay

A Four in a Bed contestant was moved to tears just moments into the episode.

Father-daughter team Dennis and Holly were competing in the show, which broadcast a repeat episode on Saturday.

The pair had been first to host their rivals at their Norwich B&B, impressing them with the spotless rooms and Holly's culinary talents at breakfast.

So thoroughly impressed that when it came to the final reckoning, Holly and Dennis were met with such glowing feedback that she became tearful.

On payment day, the duo heard responses from Kent hosts Harry and Sarah, Oxfordshire B&B proprietor Dawn, and Ollie, who runs a boutique hotel in Kent, reports Cambridgeshire Live.

While Ollie paid Dennis and Holly the full amount owed for his visit, Dawn deducted £10 citing the absence of a wardrobe in her room and unclean windows.

Addressing her criticism, Dennis confessed: "I'm genuinely disappointed by [the windows] because our standards should be much higher and generally are, so apologise for that. Not good enough."

He subsequently told the camera: "Taking the money off was arguably a bit harsh, but I get it. We can't complain too much, although it was uncomfortable."

Dawn, however, defended her position: "I stand by my payment because I believe that a wardrobe is a facility that should be in a B&B. And the window not being clean, everything should be spotless."

Yet Harry and Sarah adopted a markedly different approach, actually overpaying Holly and Dennis for their accommodation. After presenting a £12 overpayment, Harry enthused: "We had an amazing stay at your place. Everything you needed and more."

Moved to tears by his kind words, Holly responded: "Thank you, sorry I get really emotional!"

Sarah, equally overcome, replied: "You'll get me going!"

"It means a lot," Holly continued, while Harry later told the camera: "They ticked every box," as Sarah remarked: "They rival some of the best hotels that I've ever stayed in."

Holly went on: "It means so much for us, and we've put so much into the business."

Shortly afterwards, it was confirmed that Harry and Sarah's overpayment had handed Holly and Dennis the victory.

"I'm delighted," Dennis declared, as Holly added: "It's the best feeling."

He then quipped to the group: "We are all winners, but we're the best winners."

Dennis then turned to his daughter, saying: "I'm very proud of Holly," to which she responded: "It wouldn't be possible without you!"
