The tirade started after Skye shared a picture of her renovated bathroom, where a towel rack was seen next to a toilet.

Many comments debated whether the towel rack was too close to the toilet, and wondered whether ‘poo particles’ would contaminate the towels.

‘The towels are in the toilet, because there was nowhere else to put it… I don’t know why people need to be rude and nasty. It’s not your toilet or bathroom, so take a deep breath and move on,’ Skye shared on her renovation page’s Instagram Story.

‘I get that not everyone has the same taste, but when you’re doing it in a nasty way, it’s like “am I coming to your page, and judging your home?”‘ Skye said.

‘If my poo particles are travelling THAT far, then my lord they need to be in the Guinness World Records. The only way poo is going to get on my towels is if I stood on the toilet to do a s**t!’ she raged.

Raising her voice while filming in the echoing bathroom, she said: ‘Thanks for your concerns, but I will be the only one p**sing and s**tting on my toilet. So, thank you for the concerns, but we’re good here!

‘There are going to be some things that are impractical and not perfect [with the renovations], but we’ve done the best that we can. Considering what this bathroom looked like before, this is the most beautiful, luxurious, comfortable bathroom for me.’

Skye, who is heavily pregnant, added: ‘I’m sorry, I don’t want to be a b***h… I’m just really hormonal at the moment, that’s my excuse.’

Skye and Lachlan, who are expecting their second child this year, began renovating the property in November 2019.

In a previous video blog, Skye told how the ‘abandoned’ mansion came to be, saying: ‘No one has lived here for six years.

‘The owner was a Chinese man, and him and his wife wanted to send their children to a nearby school, and they were going to live there but… it never ended up happening.’

Skye said the pair ‘fell in love’ with the home when they bought it, even though it was so run down it looked ‘haunted’.
