What happened on Celebrity IOU tonight?

Tonight on Celebrity IOU, Anthony Anderson surprised his step-brother Derrick Bowman by renovating his house. Anthony revealed that his brother was an ER trauma nurse at Martin Luther Hospital who worked hard in the pandemic to help save the members of his community.

The two grew up together in Compton, California, and he wanted to pay homage to his hard-working brother and his family. He revealed that he was the older brother and said,

"Being the older brother, I always had to lead by example."

Anthony asked the property brothers to transform his brother's 1000 square foot dated house into a modern, high-end, stylish family home. He asked them to change the lights and windows of the house. The brothers noticed right away that there were multiple leaks in the house.

Anthony showed the brothers the old heating system in the house, which did not work. He also showed them a broken window in the kitchen that had not been repaired for the past two years. There was a lot of wasted space in the bathroom and the kitchen.

The property brothers painted the house in a light color and changed the old house's roof. The previous roof had three layers of tiles but was rotten, so they had to remove the roof altogether and replace it.

They also had to replace the old beams to make the home look more spacious. They added high-style porcelain tiles in the bathroom and changed the sink. The property brothers then added a banquette to the kitchen and renovated the family galley. They added a new HVAC system to the home. For the kitchen cabinets, they chose dark wood in contrast to the caramel counters.

Jonathan and Drew Scott also used all the family photos to build a family wall in the living room. Anthony helped the Celebrity IOU duo in the demolition process. He removed the living room tiles and took down the kitchen cabinets. He also helped them choose the tiles of the house.


Celebrity IOU features the famous renovation duo Drew and Jonathan Scott. They go around town helping celebrities surprise their friends with a home makeover. The show airs every Monday on HGTV at 9 pm ET.
