Sometimes, when you do someone a favor, expect to return it. Earlier this year,Ant Ansteadhelped out his ex-wife,Christina Haack, by serving as a judge on her new series,The Flip Off. Now, he’s asking her to help him out. The British television presenter revealed that his series,Ant Anstead: Born Mechanic, has been renewed for another season.In the video shared on Instagram, he said, “If you were one of the people that watched my new showAnt Anstead: Born Mechaniclast year, you’d have seen thatI foolishly went and bought a 500-year-old farmhouse— full renovation project — for my parents to move into." But can he do it on his own? Time to bring in the reinforcements.
While many fans shared their excitement for the renewal, one post posed the very practical question:“So you’re not hiring Christina to do the renovation for you?”The host playfully responded, “Well…… afterThe Flip Off…… she owes me one!!!! X.” With the ball in Haack’s court, she chimed in, saying, “I’m down.” So, does that confirm that Haack may return the favor after Anstead said he owed her one? Some fans are equally down for it!
Ant Anstead, Christina Haack’s second husband and father to their sonHudson, appeared as a guest judge duringThe Flip Off’s inaugural season. With Christina Haack going through a very public third divorce, many fans were surprised to see Anstead appear onThe Flip Off, but his appearance did illuminate the status of his relationship with Haack. The pair, who previously weren’t on the best of terms following an explosive custody battle, seemed to bury the hatchet on screen as he was a shoulder for support as he was there for her following her split withJosh Hall. “After Josh and I split up, I went over to [Ant’s] house to pick Hudson up because I was taking him to a birthday party.And when I walked up to the door, he gave me a huge hug. We hadn’t hugged in years,” she said during the episode in which Anstead appeared. The two have both moved on to new relationships; Haack with businessmanChristopher Laroccaand Anstead with Academy Award-winnerRenée Zellweger.
During his controversial appearance, he deemed the scores of Haack’s andHeather El MoussaandTarek El Moussa’s guest bedroom makeover a draw, but then gave her the ultimate victory due to being connected forever as co-parents to Hudson. As he said in the episode to the defeated El Moussas, “It’s not gonna be something that you want to hear because, unfortunately.It puts Christina and me on the same team forever.Because of that, this judge is swayed; she’s on my team, and you guys lose.” Should Haack appear onAnt Anstead: Born Mechanic, it’s likely to be marred in less controversy.The Flip Offis available to stream on Max.
