This is just
(relaxing music) an ordinary house.
Wait, no, it isn't.
(upbeat music) It's upside down!
So, for the next 24 hours,
I'll be attempting to live, eat, and sleep
in this totally upside down house.
Now, I know what you're thinking:
"Jack, you can't just live in an upside down house
without giving us an upside down house tour first."
You're right, dear viewer. Let's get on with it.
This is the kitchen dining area.
We got all the classic cooking stations.
(squeaking)
Careful not to bang your head on the chair.
There's some muffins on the table apparently.
I'll be tucking into them later. (laughs)
No kitchen is complete without a lovely view of the M25.
This is what I like to call hangout spot number one.
I just come here and I hang out.
But Jack, if that's hangout spot number one,
then where's hangout spot number two?
It's right here, you idiot.
Sometimes I like to kick back
and kind of snuggle into this chair.
That's nice.
This is the nursery for all of the children that I own.
Wait, that doesn't sound right. Don't put that in.
This is the study for when I need to get work done.
Working hard or hardly working, am I right? (laughs)
This is the toilet room,
and I've genuinely just realised
I don't actually know how I'm gonna go to the toilet.
I am not reaching up here
and, oh, hello. (laughs)
Jack, stop leaving the seat up.
I'm sorry. I dunno what to tell ya. (laughs)
This is just a general, like, lobby area.
It's a nice wide open space.
Whoa. (laughs)
I don't think it was in frame,
but I just slipped on the ceiling, guys.
What the cameras don't pick up is how uneven the ceiling is,
but fortunately I brought a satsuma.
Look at that. Where's he gone?
I'll tell you where he's gone.
He's right here.
And finally, this is the bedroom.
This is where I'll be sleeping this evening,
although I haven't quite worked out how yet.
Now, I've already demonstrated with a satsuma
just how dangerous this place can be.
But do not panic because I have a secret weapon.
Hello. Guys? (laughs)
These are upside down glasses, which would normally
make an environment incredibly disorienting,
leading to hilarious family fun.
But in an environment such as this one,
suddenly everything becomes a lot clearer.
Am I in frame? I can't see anything.
They're fogging up.
That's not what we need.
Hello?
It was now time to put my new goggles to the test
by preparing my first meal.
I'm starting to feel a bit peckish
so let's make a sandwich.
Oh my god. (laughs)
Step one, put your bread on the counter.
Oh, oh, where's it gone?
Step two, pick up your bread from the ceiling.
Quick side note, by the way, guys,
I actually spent £500 on a GoPro just for this shot,
and building the head cam wasn't easy either.
Step three, get a healthy amount of butter
and apply to bread.
You have no idea how weird this is for me. (laughs)
Help me, please.
Be careful not to guess any butter on the work surface,
as this is a public exhibit and you'll lose your deposit.
Perfect.
Oh, well, something's gone terribly wrong, guys.
Next, find your cheese.
Just going to grab it like this, I think.
the best bet is if I do that.
And there we go. A delicious sandwich. (moans)
Guys, I really don't want to eat this.
(mournful music)
Mm, plenty cheese, mm.
Now I just need a delicious drink to wash it down with.
Oh.
Oh, I think I'm doing it. I'm doing it.
Cheers, everyone.
(Jack slurps)
(Jack moans)
After lunch, I retrieved my satsuma and bottle lid,
disposed of my leftovers, which as you can see was not easy,
and from there I begun my usual daily workout routine,
as maintaining this God-like physique
does not come naturally.
But then just as I was limbering up
to do my 1,000 daily pushups,
the upside down challenge alarm went off!
(alarm blares)
Okay, my first upside down challenge is find five things
in 45 seconds that aren't upside down.
Oh my god, go.
Okay. (laughs)
We've got these plugs, that plug.
Oh my God, it's so slippy.
That plug's the right way around.
You see it? That's one.
That plug is also the right way around,
but I don't know if that counts.
We've also got
this sign that says,
"Please do not run or hang on any of the fixtures."
Cool.
20 seconds left. (grunts)
These stairs.
They're technically the right way up.
Oh, this "Caution. Mind your head" sign.
Perfect.
And then I've also got
this fire extinguisher
and that fire extinguisher,
and also this sign too
and that sign.
I did it. That's enough. (phone alarm goes)
And that's time.
Oh my god. (laughs)
Just in case you saw them, by the way,
uh, yes, these are my Mr. Potato head underpants.
Oh, I wasn't expecting those to be in frame, okay?
I'd now been living upside down for several hours,
and other than listening to the radio,
yeah,
(static buzzes)
there wasn't really much to do.
I banged my head on the chair again,
(Jack groans)
ate some chocolate,
and then just kind of slid about for a while.
(upbeat music)
(bottle buzzes)
(alarm blares)
Oh, no, no, no.
I've just received another upside down mission.
Okay.
(Jack laughs)
Get a civilian to wave at you from the window.
Ah. (laughs)
I really don't want to do this one.
Okay, that's the window I'm gonna pick.
There's a footpath so people occasionally walk past it
and we're on the second floor, so, like,
no one can come and like bang on the window
and be mean to me.
This is what the window looks like from outside, by the way.
Can you even see me?
And now I have to run back and get the camera.
Oh God.
Hello everyone.
Come with me please.
Right, I'm currently sat on the floor
hiding behind my curtain like a little gremlin.
I really don't want to do this at all,
but the next person that walks past,
I will wave at them and if they wave back,
the challenge is over.
Oh, we've got some live ones. We've got some live ones.
It's some school children.
I'm now just watching school children
from behind a window curtain.
This is a nightmare.
I don't want to wave at that lady.
I don't. (laughs)
Right, I'm just starting waving, but nobody's looking at me.
Her hands are full.
She can't wave even if she wanted to.
Oh my God, who's that?
Those two might wave.
I'll bang on the window.
(window knocks)
Nope, they didn't hear me.
Oh, this man's looking at me.
I'm gonna wave at him.
He's just staring but he didn't wave back.
That's really uncomfortable. (laughs)
Why'd he not wave?
It was such a friendly little smile from me.
I remained hopeful for several minutes
but literally no one walked past
so I stared longingly out the window
like a princess waiting for her Prince Charming.
And finally I saw an opportunity.
Okay, there's two people coming this way,
and no matter what, I'm gonna get 'em to wave at me.
(window knocks)
I'm banging on the window.
(window knocks)
Why can't they hear that?
Shake my hand aggressively.
He's looking, he's looking, he's looking.
He looked at me. They're both looking.
Just wave back. Yes.
Right, and now I just pretend nothing ever happened.
It was the ghost of the upside down house. (laughs)
Just slide away. (laughs)
Seeing that happy couple waving together
brought me so much joy,
but then it reminded me of who I'd left behind
to film this video.
This is a photo of my beautiful girlfriend, Becky.
Now, I knew I'd really miss her so I brought this picture
and I also brought some stick on magnets
so that I can stick it to the side of my bed.
So I've stuck a bunch of magnets to the frame
and also this plant pot, so in theory.
(frame crashes)
Okay.
As the day was coming to an end, I was feeling pretty tired.
I'm feeling pretty tired.
So I got in me pyjamas in the children's nursery,
brushed my teeth, and got ready for bed.
♪ Motion, caution ♪
- There's definitely something a little bit intimidating
about having a giant bed that could crush you
at any second floating above you while you sleep,
but we'll see how we get on.
Goodnight, guys.
And so like a giant slug, I clung to the bedroom ceiling,
but then I woke up after many hours and I was finally free.
(Jack groans)
My challenge was over.
I'd done it.
There had been ups and there had been downs,
but I had survived the upside down house.
Thank you so much for watching.

Thank you very much, okay, bye bye, bye bye.
