Competition launched to find the UK’s messiest student accommodation!

Are these the filthiest students in the country?  

Competition launched to find the messiest student accommodation in the UK

Students across the UK have been sharing amusing pictures of the mess and destruction they have created in their student flats, with the images showing chaotic bedrooms, broken furniture and kitchen nightmares.  

It’s part of a competition launched to find the UK’s messiest student accommodation by home and contents insurance provider, SO-SURE, with the winning students receiving a £200 voucher to spend on Just Eat, so they can celebrate over a takeaway guaranteed to cure any hangover.  

The competition ends on Monday 25th April at 12pm (UK time) and people can enter here.  

We all know students have a reputation for prioritising a night out over a tidy flat, so it maybe isn’t a surprise we already have some pretty shocking frontrunners. 

1. Sarah, Brighton University  

Sarah shared this photo of a kitchen after what looks like a fairly messy night out. We are not sure who landed washing up duties, but it can’t have been much fun on a hangover!  

2. Josh, Cardiff University 

Josh says this is a photo of his mates’ room in their student flat. This has to be one of the messiest bedrooms we have ever seen, maybe it’s time to invest in a bin? It’s not much, but it’s a start.  

3. Cassie, Bournemouth University  

You almost have to admire the chaos here, it’s like a work of art. Cassie shared this photo from her student accommodation in Bournemouth, we don’t know who the room belongs to, only that they are the ‘messiest gal’.

UK’s naughtiest pooch revealed!

Winner announced in competition to find the nation’s naughtiest pet

A one-year-old puppy, Laya, has been named the UK’s naughtiest pet after a spate of her destroying cushions, duvets and over 20 pairs of shoes!

Pet owners across the UK have been sharing hilarious images as part of a nationwide competition by contents insurance providers, SO-SURE, with the owner of ‘the UK’s naughtiest pet’ receiving a £200 Next voucher to replace those slightly chewed soft furnishings.

After over 150 hilariously funny entries, choosing a winner was very difficult, but the look on Laya’s face with the trail of destruction behind her made her a worthy winner…

Laya, a mixed breed from Haverfordwest is the winner of the competition, after being caught destroying all the cushions on the sofa and covering the living room in feathers. The Next voucher might not last too long at the rate this pup goes through shoes, as she has apparently destroyed over 20 pairs!

With so many great pictures to go through, it wouldn’t be fair to only show one. Here are the best (or worst) of the rest, and it’s no surprise dogs are the main culprits.

2. Evie, Labradoodle, 1

Shelby has chewed a rather large hole in her owner’s favourite reading spot, maybe she was jealous of not being the centre of attention?

Senior Marketing Manager, Gabriel Cabral at SO-SURE commented: At SO-SURE we like to have a little fun and we certainly did with this competition.

“We’ve had lots of great entries, but we just loved Laya’s expression when she was caught in the act! We are pleased her owner can replace those cushions with a £200 Next voucher.”
