In DOD we trust.
But Daniel O’Donnell did not trust in Room To Improve host Dermot Bannon once the initial estimates of €200,000 rocketed to somewhere in the region of €400,000.
Daniel was very particular about a specific en-suite bathroom that would essentially result in moving a load-bearing wall and taking out all of the ceilings.
Dermot suggests that getting rid of the en-suite would scale the projected cost back by at least €20,000, but Daniel tells him:
“It is a ridiculous figure. You came first of all with a fantastic plan and now you are taking the whole lot away again. There is no point in beating about the bush.”
Dermot tries to reassure him, telling him this is a normal process and they will “hammer” and “chip” away at the costs and go back to contractors about it, but Daniel is not impressed telling him:
“You will need to have some chisel and hammer to get this back to something that I’ll like” and going on to tell the cameras: “Even though I would like things done to the house, I couldn’t care less if there was nothing done.”
Viewers picked up on this different side to Daniel O’Donnell, and reacted accordingly:

In fairness to Daniel, you say it'll be under 200k and then you come with a quote nearly 400k? I'd be pissed off too. #roomtoimprove
