A voice-activated shower on DIY SOS went haywire, responding only to French commands and nearly flooding a home before being fixed.

TV presenter Nick Knowles revealed a chaotic behind-the-scenes incident during the new season of DIY SOS, where a voice-activated shower malfunctioned, responding only to French commands and threatening to flood a home. Despite efforts to stop it, including shouting "Arret," water built up before the team resolved the issue by reprogramming the shower to English. The mishap, described as "nuts," highlights unexpected challenges on the show’s high-pressure builds. DIY SOS returns to BBC One on October 3, 2025.
