Privacy NoticeHomes Under the Hammer is a popular British television series that has been airing on BBC One since 2003. The show focuses on properties that have been sold at auction, providing viewers with insights into property auction processes, renovations, and real estate investment. It’s been hosted by Martin Roberts for decades – but there’s a quirky habit viewers have started picking up on recently. And now, it’s safe to say they can’t unsee it! Martin has a rather distinctive way of congratulating couples on their purchases, referring to the property as a “place” with an accompanying hand gesture that looks like he’s tinkling the keys of a piano. On X, formerly Twitter, viewers branded Martin’s gesture as the “funniest thing” they’ve seen on telly recently. One video was captioned: “This is the funniest thing I’ve seen all year. Martin Roberts’ piano concerto, ‘Why Did You Want To Buy This Place?'” Fans have flooded the comments section, with one describing it as the “best tweet of the year”. Another user admitted: “I shouldn’t have laughed as much as I just did.” Want to learn more about Martin? Don’t go anywhere as we’ve got you covered. The beloved TV host was born in Warrington, Cheshire. Before landing his famous Homes Under The Hammer role, he worked as a reporter and presenter for a number of TV and radio stations. Besides Homes Under the Hammer, Martin has appeared on several other TV shows including “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” in 2016, where he became a popular contestant. He’s also tried his hand at running property development workshops and seminars, as well as writing books on the topic. We’re glad he still has time to play the piano with his hands!Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
