Episodes
Episode 1
The return of the programme in which families from opposite ends of the wealth and class divide swap homes, budgets and lives for seven days. Millionaire barrister and property entrepreneur Roy Ledgister swaps homes with single mum Becky Biggington in a life-changing experience for both. Roy has a sprawling Kent estate, complete with tennis court, swimming pool and gym, while Becky lives just 40 minutes away in a two-bed Sussex council house with her two young sons.
Episode 2
Millionaire businessman Mark Harvey and his family swap homes and lives with Billie Thompson, who is thousands of pounds in debt. Mark has a property portfolio worth millions and hundreds of dedicated followers flock to his training seminars, while mother-of-two Billie survives by dipping into her mother Deb's hard-earned savings and living beyond their means is a constant source of tension between the pair.
Episode 3
Australian tech millionaire Harry and his friend Hadia swap their Shoreditch £1million apartment for Angel and Santana's one-bedroom council flat in the poor end of Notting Hill. Harry made his money from his firm that specialises in digital marketing, while money is a massive worry for the couple and their children, but Angel dreams of working in digital marketing and Santana wants to run her own skincare business.
Episode 4
In this week's episode, can a wealthy New Age family help a pole-dancing mum's dream come true? Andrea and Matt Callanan are self-confessed hippies from Cardiff and live in a large Victorian property with son Alby. They've made a mint coaching success online, but there's nothing conventional about their methods. Algae smoothies, meditation and hypnosis are part of their daily ritual, not to mention giving money away to total strangers on the street. Living their unusual lives for a week are the Burrows from Bristol. Dad Ant is a delivery driver, and with mum Tash and kids Kaela and Tate, they have just £71 a week to live off after bills. Money is a massive struggle, but that doesn't stop them hoping for a better life. Tash took up pole-dancing to combat post-natal depression and has just started giving classes, but the tiny business is hardly breaking even. Enter Andrea Callanan, whose speciality is helping mums succeed. What will she make of Tash's big idea after a twirl on the pole herself? In an amazing match-up, we discover delivery driver Ant is a keen gamer and has a secret ambition to be a gaming podcaster. When he discovers Matt trains people in podcasting and has his own studio at the top of the house, he can't believe his luck. It all gets very real when Ant is put through his paces recording his first ever podcast. The Burrows aren't the only ones to go on a life-changing journey. Being successful entrepreneurs leaves Matt and Andrea little quality time with son Alby, and a week of living a stripped-back, no-money life has a surprising impact on the family.
Episode 5
In this week's episode, a single mum with four jobs has big ambitions to start her own food business. Can a super-successful entrepreneur help make her dream come true? To put it mildly, Sue Bowers works hard. She lives in Ashby, Scunthorpe, in a two-bed terrace house with her 16-year-old son James, and works four jobs to keep afloat. She's a carer on Mondays, an assistant nurse Tuesday to Friday, she's a cleaner on Saturdays, and on Sundays she flips burgers. Sue does all she can to make ends meet and provide the best she can for 16-year-old James, but the jobs are low wage, and she has just £70 a week disposable income. Sue has a big dream though. Working for the NHS, she discovered the health benefits of hemp and wants to drop all her jobs and start a hemp food business. Swapping homes and living with Sue and James for a week are the Bradleys. Dad Nick, mum Sarah Jane and daughters Megan and Lucy have enjoyed a quite unbelievable success story. Nick originally trained as a primary school teacher but quit this to try and make it in the horse training business. He soon made enough to take the risk and set up Nick Bradley Racing, which has gone from strength to strength. He now owns and breeds hundreds of racehorses with Sarah Jane from his beautiful farm in Goxhill — and turns over millions of pounds every year. The experience is inspiring and life-changing on both sides, as the Bradleys learn a deep respect for hard-working Sue and work out a plan for her and James that is revealed in the final meet. Suffice to say, it's the stuff of dreams.
