HGTV Star Erin Napier Had To Face A Big Fear On Home Town

Recalling the event in a "Home Town" confessional with her husband Ben Napier, Erin Napier confessed that she is "horrified with lizards," lumping them into the same category as snakes and frogs. "This is my irrational fear, I get scared of a lizard and someone thinks 'Well, this is funny' and they get the lizard and try to put it on me and then I would ... die," Erin explains while Ben nods.

Fortunately, there were no more unpleasant surprises for Erin as she and the team worked hard to finish the remodel, especially without Ben's help. As previously shared on Instagram by Erin, the "Home Town" woodworker underwent a procedure for his shoulder injury in March 2023, which coincided with filming for the premiere. Resulting in him being at home and away from the job site for a few days. Thankfully, the Napiers were able to reach out to their relative and family friend, cousin Jim, to fill in for Ben.

Together, they tackled the home renovation plus Ben's recovery. Erin played nurse for a day or two and then called and checked in on her husband regularly once she was back to work. Jim went above and beyond, tackling heavy lifting and putting his measurement skills to the test, which was a bit of a struggle for the financial advisor turned home builder.
