10 behind-the-scenes moments from HR that are making us laugh

On screen, it’s all hard graft and game face with the judges and contestants from House Rules. We turn the cameras around and take a look what really goes on behind the scenes.

1. Judges Wendy, Drew and LLB with shenanigans on the railway tracks in Josh and Brandon's New York High Line themed zone during Jess and Jared's Adelaide backyard makeover.

Penelope Pitstop and the Dastardly Designer... @llewelynbowen @drewheatharchitect @houseruleson7 @channel7 #houserules #backyarddesign #exteriorstyling #gardendesign #design

Penelope Pitstop prevails!!!! @drewheatharchitect @llewelynbowen @houseruleson7 @channel7 #exteriordesign #gardendesign #design #behindthescenes #bts

2. Apparently, someone told LLB this was a ‘gin fountain’!

@houseruleson7 ...... there's always ONE who takes it TOO FAR

3. Toad’s suit adjustment for tonight's Grand Final is shared by Mandy on Instagram took some creative thinking!

VIDEO DIARY #2 : In the dressing room. Toad is wearing a full suit but one thing we didn't try on in the fitting was his shirt. But no worries ✂️ it's sorted and fits just like a tight glove 👌🏻 * At least someone can breath whilst going through probably the most nerve wracking thing in a lifetime. #wardrobe * * #houserules #greenteam #toadmandy #videodiary #competition #grandfianal #dressingroom #bigboy

4. Jess brings in a Ouija board to summon the resident ghost, Mrs Mitchell to judge the bonus room at Toad and Mandy’s home renovation.
