The video opens with a shot of Sam’s long backyard littered with bricks, wall plastering, rubbish and even a toilet sitting right in the middle.

“Our backyard was a disgrace, so we fired this guy, the worst tradie in Sydney,” he says, taking a jab at his friend and Nova host Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald.

Sam then recruits his girlfriend Rebecca James’ father Phil, who brought an impressive collection of tools in comparison to Sam’s small IKEA tool kit, and the pair head to Bunnings.

“After 37 trips to Bunnings we got everything we need, so I start to make superfluous noise,” he continues. “It’s my age-old strategy for seeming more productive than I actually am. Never fails!”

The Dancing With The Stars contestant then unveils the finished result, showing a perfectly manicured lawn, a tiled entertaining section and plenty of potted plants.

“Our backyard was now a Mac-yard,” he remarks. “Lush lawns, a plethora of plants, and flowers that were actually alive - at time of filming.

“The champagne was cold and the barbie was sizzling, We were finally ready to entertain!” he adds before Rebecca walks out holding their daughter Margot in her arms.

“Woah hang on, Margot’s asleep. Cancel the guests!” he jokes.
