HGTV stars Dave and Jenny Marrs are happy about their highly anticipated miniseries being released “Fixer to Fabulous: Italiano”, but they know that not every moment from renovating an ancient villa in the Italian countryside will be shown in the six episodes.
Jenny fixed this by posting a cut scene from the series on March 22 on Instagram.
“Deleted scene from #fixertofabulousitaliano !! We had so much to do each day while in Tuscany … we simply did not have time to get sick. Who knew consuming one’s body weight in figs would have this effect?! 😳 😭,” Jenny wrote in her post’s caption.
In Jenny's video, she and Dave were heading to the job site for their renovation in Italy. Dave mentioned having an upset stomach but chose to push through to work on their project. As they drove, Dave suddenly had to turn the car around when Jenny read on her phone “figs may cause diarrhea.”
The scene then went back to the day before when Dave was excited to find a fig tree on their renovation property. Jenny warned him not to eat too many figs, but Dave responded, “It’s fruit.” The scene then cut back to Dave rushing back into the house they were staying at to use the restroom.

Dave Marrs Comments on the Deleted Scene
Dave joined others in Jenny’s comment section to share their thoughts on the deleted scene. He wrote, “Not one of my smartest moves! Luckily I was close enough to the rental that I made it back! For a few minutes, I was pretty sure we were going to incur some additional rental car cleaning fees! 😬.”
“I’m sorry but this should have been left in the show!!!!” one fan commented.
“🤣 😭 😳 Dave running back into the house …..” another user wrote.
“This is gonna be the next trend of doing a cleanse’. I think you should consider trademarking it … Figging To Fabulous 😂,” a third fan suggested.
“Love that you shared this!! Should have made the show! 😂,” a fourth fan said.
Jenny Marrs Highlights a Local Artisan
Jenny shared another behind-the-scenes moment from filming on her Instagram in a March 21 post. During the second episode of “Fixer to Fabulous: Italiano”, the Marrses visit a local terracotta factory and see a local artisan making a bathtub from the ground up out of clay.
In her Instagram post, Jenny highlighted another worker at the factory who was in the process of creating an amphora (vase) with his hands.
“One of the most magical moments of the visit to the Terra cotta factory happened after we found the bathtub. We heard beautiful music floating up from the basement and walked toward it to find an artisan named Giovanni hard at work. Giovanni has dedicated his life to his craft and can often be found shaping clay at midnight or before the sun rises. He is nearly blind so he shapes the clay wearing socks, rather than shoes, in order to hear the clay form as he works,” Jenny wrote.
Jenny even added a statement from Giovanni, who mentioned during a discussion with the couple, “When you learn to create, you create yourself.”
“Fixer to Fabulous: Italiano” is shown on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on HGTV, with episodes available for streaming the next day on Max and Discovery+.
