It's the reality TV show we all need, what happens when astronauts living millions of miles away from Earth need somewhere to crash and have to move in with the gang across the hall?

There's no cameras but that is what is happening on the International Space Station at the moment where the US astronauts have had to bunk in with their Russian counterparts.

It's all because of a small air leak, and clearly they don't have an inanimate carbon rod to hand to fix it.

Space journalist Leo Enright explained to Dermot and Dave what's going on, and how they might look to fix it.
