REGULAR VIEWERS OF Grand Designs should be all too familiar with Kevin McCloud’s overly hyperbolic and lofty closing monologues.

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Two Twitter users/avid Grand Designs viewers were discussing McCloud’s monologues the other night when the idea for a Twitter parody account occurred to them.

Caught up with the new series of Grand Designs last night. It was the one where Kevin closes with an overly lofty and verbose monologue.

After that, McCloud lets loose, weighing in on everything from Jaffa Cakes to Katie Price. It is gloriously on point.

Bold design can often divide opinion, but in the case of 'Marmite', I think you'll either love it, or adore it. pic.twitter.com/PhaxrgWcky
