00:00:00In Britain, the top 10% own over half the country's wealth.
00:00:06I have nice cars. I own a couple of race horses.
00:00:09It feels nice to have money.
00:00:12But while the rich are getting richer...
00:00:14It's a very profitable business that turns over well over £10 million a year.
00:00:18The poor are getting poorer.
00:00:21It's tough.
00:00:22Hit hard by relentless price rises.
00:00:24A lot of posh people think poor people just sit on their bums all day on benefits.
00:00:29Once we've spent on food, don't really have anything left over.
00:00:33I had bailiffs come in.
00:00:36Might be on its way out.
00:00:38Now, two families are swapping homes.
00:00:42That is very different.
00:00:43Yes.
00:00:44How many windows does a house need?
00:00:46How many doors?
00:00:48Budget.
00:00:48All right, this is where I get serious.
00:00:51Oh, God.
00:00:53And lives.
00:00:54It's our bloody work.
00:00:55It was way more challenging than I thought it would be.
00:00:59Champagne.
00:01:00I'm in heaven.
00:01:01To find out if money really does buy happiness.
00:01:06I love to have a walk in order.
00:01:08Oh, my goodness.
00:01:11Never been in the limo in the last.
00:01:14Or do people matter most?
00:01:16This is the nicest family time that us three have had together in years.
00:01:21And when they finally meet...
00:01:23Hello.
00:01:25...lives are changed forever.
00:01:27We'd like to gift you a van.
00:01:31We want to back your vision to a value of £100,000.
00:01:35Oh, my God.
00:01:35It's going to change everything for the better.
00:01:43The village of Hockley in Essex is home to trainee teacher Becky,
00:01:47single mum to nine-year-old Amy.
00:01:50Amy is a very sociable child.
00:01:53She loves singing, dancing, acting.
00:01:56However she can be in the spotlight is her happy place.
00:02:00Woo-hoo!
00:02:00I love spending time with mummy because we always find fun things to do,
00:02:05even if we don't have any money to spend.
00:02:08They live in a small terraced house with a cramped kitchen,
00:02:13tiny lounge diner, two beds and one bathroom.
00:02:17And the garden's in need of some serious TLC.
00:02:21That swing is too old, too broken.
00:02:25Oh, God.
00:02:26There's wobbly steps, there's plants everywhere.
00:02:30It's just not safe.
00:02:31I'd like to start planting maybe some apples.
00:02:35Maybe.
00:02:36If we do get a climbing frame, we can have so much fun.
00:02:40That would be really good, wouldn't it?
00:02:42Becky's trainee wages means there's no money for improvements,
00:02:45so they make a daily trek to the local park.
00:02:48Joined by Nanny Bev.
00:02:51My mum is absolutely critical to running our lives.
00:02:56She takes Amy to school,
00:02:58so she doesn't have to go to breakfast club every day.
00:03:01She'll babysit when I need help.
00:03:03We're just a team, and it's just girl power, isn't it?
00:03:09Whee!
00:03:121,500 miles away in Alicante on Spain's Costa Blanca,
00:03:16another Essex native lives a very different life.
00:03:21Guys, people ask me what keeps me motivated,
00:03:24and the truth is I have something burning inside of me
00:03:27that refuses to settle for anything less
00:03:30than extraordinary lifestyle.
00:03:34Millionaire estate agent Adam left Romford 15 years ago
00:03:38and is living the expat dream with his son, Jamie.
00:03:42Best friends, really, isn't it?
00:03:43Yeah, we've been best friends since you could walk, really, I think.
00:03:46Yeah.
00:03:47Hey.
00:03:47We're both.
00:03:51Adam's girlfriend, Ebba, runs an online lifestyle channel.
00:03:56So I would describe Adam as very positive,
00:03:59also very ambitious,
00:04:01and super caring about the people around him.
00:04:04Adam is one of 76,000 Brits
00:04:07drawn to the Alicante region
00:04:09by the promise of a luxury Mediterranean lifestyle.
00:04:13So one of the best things about this house
00:04:16is that we have this outdoor area here
00:04:18where we spend the weekends coming out here, relaxing.
00:04:22It's clear from Adam's £2 million home
00:04:25on the exclusive Las Colinas Golf Resort
00:04:28that money isn't a problem.
00:04:30With four luxury bedrooms and three bathrooms,
00:04:34even Jamie has his own en-suite.
00:04:38Are you tidying up?
00:04:40That's not too bad, actually.
00:04:41For a smelly teenage boy room, it's not bad.
00:04:46This is a state-of-the-art smart house
00:04:49with everything from lights to air-cons centrally controlled.
00:04:53And the money-no-object lifestyle doesn't stop there.
00:04:59So the Lamborghini cost me €150,000,
00:05:03but it's good fun, so I think it's worth it.
00:05:10Adam started making big money
00:05:12when he set up his Alicante estate agency in 2017.
00:05:16Today we're at a €1.7 million villa
00:05:20here on Las Colinas Golf and Country Club.
00:05:23Now he's branched out into digital marketing and more.
00:05:27I have three different businesses,
00:05:29estate agency, law firm and a tech company.
00:05:32My dad's done so well for himself.
00:05:34I do look up to him quite a bit, yeah.
00:05:38In Essex, Becky makes just over the minimum wage
00:05:42working with children unsuited to mainstream education.
00:05:45I genuinely love my job.
00:05:47My work is my true passion in life.
00:05:50I do come back and I've had some proper bruises.
00:05:54Caring doesn't pay the bills and a £950 monthly mortgage
00:05:59leaves only £128 a week for everything from travel to clothes and food.
00:06:05I meal plan very specifically.
00:06:09I also use apps where I can pick up free food or heavily discounted food.
00:06:14It's really mentally draining thinking about money all the time.
00:06:18She's had to get credit cards out to just Treadwater, really.
00:06:24Amy steps in to help Mum run the house for a small fee.
00:06:29Right, so what jobs do you think you've done
00:06:31from your pocket money list this week, Amy?
00:06:34Pitting my clothes away, 50p.
00:06:36Tearing up the living room, 50p.
00:06:39And we have hooves off sweep, 50p.
00:06:43Amy's had to grow up fast.
00:06:45When she was three years old, Becky was diagnosed with cancer.
00:06:50I had chemotherapy, radiotherapy, a double mastectomy and reconstruction
00:06:56and I've been on hormone treatments ever since.
00:07:00As a parent, you just have to kind of put your big girl knickers on
00:07:04and get on with it.
00:07:08In Alicante, Adam might be living the high life
00:07:11but as a teenager growing up in Essex,
00:07:14he knew what it was like to be super poor.
00:07:17My girlfriend got pregnant when I was 16
00:07:19so I had to call my mum and say,
00:07:22Mum, I need your help, I don't know what to do.
00:07:25Jamie was born in the Romford flat Adam shared with his mum,
00:07:29girlfriend and twin sisters.
00:07:31Living in a one-bedroom apartment together was hard.
00:07:34I can remember now like condensation like down the inside of the windows.
00:07:39It was cold, it was just not a nice place.
00:07:44I used to wash lorries
00:07:46and I would go and deliver leaflets for an estate agency
00:07:48and that's when I got the offer to become an estate agent
00:07:52and that's when my career started.
00:07:54So why does a wealthy ex-par want to swap back
00:07:58to the other side of the wealth divide?
00:08:00Now I feel it's time to give back.
00:08:02So somebody that turns up and they want to do well for themselves
00:08:05and they have the get up and go
00:08:06and they're trying to have that positive attitude,
00:08:09that's somebody that I will see that I could help.
00:08:11Adam also wants Jamie to learn the value of money
00:08:14by seeing how tough life can be.
00:08:17Jamie knows where he came from
00:08:19and how we lived when he was born.
00:08:22However, he does not know how that feels
00:08:25and that's something I'm looking forward to showing him.
00:08:31Becky wants the week to give Amy a very different kind of education.
00:08:35I'm hoping that Amy will learn this week
00:08:38that financial stability is possible and very achievable.
00:08:44But that's not something Becky has managed to achieve.
00:08:47She lacks the confidence to earn more
00:08:49and is hoping the swap will show her the way.
00:08:52It would alleviate so much mental stress.
00:08:57Having a bit of extra money every month,
00:08:59I would definitely do more with Amy.
00:09:03Could she even be tempted by a new life in the sun?
00:09:08Oh, my goodness, you've got the letter!
00:09:11How exciting!
00:09:13It's time for both families to find out
00:09:15where they'll be living for the week.
00:09:17You are going to Alicante, Spain!
00:09:23Wow! No way!
00:09:28Happy tears are good, Amy. We're going to Spain!
00:09:34Exciting!
00:09:35All right. Drum roll, please.
00:09:41You're heading to Hockley in Essex.
00:09:44That must be close to where I grew up.
00:09:46Let me have a look. Yeah, really?
00:09:47Oh, my God. That's quite close to where I used to live.
00:09:50Looking forward to see that.
00:09:52It's going to be interesting.
00:09:53Mm-hmm.
00:09:54Interesting is the word.
00:09:59Day one.
00:10:01I've just packed an array of stuff, really,
00:10:02because I've literally got no clue what we're going to be doing.
00:10:06I don't know. I'm excited to find out, to be honest.
00:10:08We are. I'm just excited.
00:10:14I hope they like it.
00:10:16Everyone has to make a 1,500-mile trip to their new homes.
00:10:20Oh, my goodness! It's so exciting!
00:10:23We're at the airport, getting ready to board our flight to Hockley,
00:10:29to the swap house.
00:10:32After two and a half hours in the air...
00:10:34Are you being excited?
00:10:36Very.
00:10:37Are you excited?
00:10:38Absolutely.
00:10:40Are you excited?
00:10:41Oh, 100%.
00:10:44Back on the ground, anticipation is building.
00:10:48This area doesn't look too bad.
00:10:51It could...
00:10:51I was expecting it to be worse, to be honest, I think.
00:10:56Yeah.
00:10:56Well, I mean, we haven't got there yet, so...
00:10:58These houses are really fancy, aren't they?
00:11:00I didn't think it was going to be this fancy.
00:11:03It looks like a film set.
00:11:05OK. Oh, it's a house.
00:11:08All right.
00:11:09Well, the sun's come out for our arrival, so...
00:11:12Let's see.
00:11:13Oh, look, all the little...
00:11:15This isn't about it all.
00:11:15There's a little girl that lives here, look.
00:11:16A little kitchen.
00:11:18OK.
00:11:18Yeah.
00:11:19It's...
00:11:20Yeah.
00:11:21Oh, what's this? Pocket money list?
00:11:23Pocket money list.
00:11:24Open sesame.
00:11:26Oh, they were!
00:11:27No way!
00:11:30No way.
00:11:31Look at that view.
00:11:32Wow.
00:11:35I told you, they did.
00:11:36Swimming pool!
00:11:38Wow.
00:11:39Just what you dreamed of.
00:11:42Look at these views.
00:11:45Yeah, amazing, aren't they?
00:11:47I mean, it's a bit small.
00:11:49It's actually tiny.
00:11:52Oh, that's a bit stiff.
00:11:54OK, it's nice.
00:11:55It's quite dangerous, because there's, like, bits falling apart.
00:12:00Before they immerse themselves in each other's lives, the challenge is to find clues about their mystery hosts.
00:12:07Shabbat, baby! Shabbat!
00:12:09Welcome to my home, by Nanny, Mummy and Me.
00:12:12Oh, OK.
00:12:13Aren't they both so cute?
00:12:14Oh, look!
00:12:16They're younger than what I thought they'd be.
00:12:18Look at what these are.
00:12:19Oh, upstate.
00:12:20Real upstate, yeah.
00:12:22These are, like, luxury stuff, though.
00:12:23This isn't, like...
00:12:24Yeah, this is...
00:12:24This isn't art every day.
00:12:27Right, let's see what we've got upstairs.
00:12:29Upstairs.
00:12:30Ladies have also got to get used to sleeping in different beds.
00:12:33Hello, Jamie.
00:12:34Do your make-up, Sia.
00:12:35Yeah.
00:12:35Make-up.
00:12:37But, God, it's tiny.
00:12:38It's real small, yeah.
00:12:40So, maybe it's just her and her mum?
00:12:43Wow, this is my room.
00:12:46Look how big that shower is.
00:12:49Oh!
00:12:50It's got a night!
00:12:55OK, it's blue and it's tiny.
00:12:59Yeah, this is really tiny.
00:12:59And I've just realised there's only one bathroom.
00:13:01We've all got to share one bathroom.
00:13:03I think that will be the hardest part, actually.
00:13:07They won't always be able to share.
00:13:10On both sides, the bathrooms are set up with private diary cams.
00:13:15This is so far beyond my wildest imagination.
00:13:21It's massive.
00:13:23It's like five of our living rooms.
00:13:25I find it quite small, I do.
00:13:28Reality started to kick in a bit.
00:13:30This is going to be a lot harder than I thought it was going to be.
00:13:33Coming up, a big double surprise as both sides find out their weekly budgets.
00:13:39That's pretty much what we spent on dinner yesterday.
00:13:44There's bathroom mayhem in Essex.
00:13:46Hurry up, I need a toilet.
00:13:48Oh, you're going to have to wait, Jamie.
00:13:50I'm tired.
00:13:50And in Spain, the smart house is too clever by half.
00:13:55This house is like a robot house.
00:14:03In Essex, trainee teacher Becky battles to keep financially afloat.
00:14:09I meal plan very specifically.
00:14:13I also use apps where I can pick up free food or heavily discounted food.
00:14:17But we'll always put daughter Amy first.
00:14:20We always find fun things to do, even if we don't have any money to spend.
00:14:25And is hoping to learn from the swap how to balance her bills.
00:14:29It would alleviate so much mental stress.
00:14:34Millionaire Adam left Essex to live the expat dream in Alicante on Spain's Costa Blanca.
00:14:40So the Lamborghini cost me 150,000 euros.
00:14:44But it's good fun.
00:14:46I think it's worth it.
00:14:47As a serial entrepreneur, he knows what it takes to succeed.
00:14:52Having been super poor and now being more wealthy, now I feel it's time to give back.
00:14:57Now they are swapping homes and lives for the week.
00:15:01And I've just realised there's only one bathroom, we've all got to share.
00:15:04And it's the moment everyone's been waiting for.
00:15:07How much cash do they have to spend?
00:15:11All right, this is where I get serious, the budget.
00:15:14Go on, Jamie, do the honours.
00:15:15Let's see what we've got.
00:15:16Let's see.
00:15:18I'm nervous, mate.
00:15:1920, 40, 60, 80.
00:15:25Wow.
00:15:27550.
00:15:28600.
00:15:29600.
00:15:30600 and 50.
00:15:31Yeah, that's so good.
00:15:321,500.
00:15:36126.
00:15:3727.
00:15:387.
00:15:3970.
00:15:40128 pounds and 10 pence.
00:15:43Oh, God.
00:15:44Yeah.
00:15:45That's pretty much what we spent on dinner yesterday.
00:15:48Yeah, true.
00:15:50100, 200, 300, 400, 500.
00:15:54Two down to 500!
00:15:57In one...
00:15:58Oh, my...
00:16:012,500 euros is nearly 2,200 pounds.
00:16:06Yeah, but that's like my whole wages.
00:16:08More than my wages in a month.
00:16:12But that is fair every week.
00:16:14Yeah.
00:16:15They managed to live on 100 and...
00:16:18What was it?
00:16:1828 pounds a week.
00:16:21She's doing really well.
00:16:23Yeah, that's true.
00:16:24So, fair play to her.
00:16:26What?
00:16:27I thought she was going to do that.
00:16:30They're not going to be able to do that with our budget, are they?
00:16:33They are not only swapping budgets, but lives as well.
00:16:37And both families have left a schedule for the week.
00:16:39Activity is one.
00:16:41Activity is interesting.
00:16:43All right?
00:16:44Oh, okay.
00:16:45What have we got?
00:16:47Food app shop.
00:16:49I assume we need to order the shopping from an app on our phone.
00:16:53Uh-huh.
00:16:54Oh, we've got to go to a board meeting.
00:16:56Oh, God.
00:16:57I haven't got anything to wear to a board meeting.
00:17:00Catch up at the community centre.
00:17:03At the community centre?
00:17:04A luxury family outing.
00:17:08I mean, we know what family outings are, but I don't know what a luxury one would be.
00:17:14Knowing that we only have, like, £128 for the week, that brought back lots of really uncomfortable memories from when
00:17:22I was younger and running out of money before payday.
00:17:25I'm so excited to be able to spoil Amy in the way that she deserves.
00:17:30She never asks for anything.
00:17:32All the expensive stuff they have, it's just astonishing.
00:17:38Dinner time.
00:17:39The hill is quite empty.
00:17:40The fridge is very empty.
00:17:41But no £200 food deliveries in Essex.
00:17:45We've got some cans of kidney beans, rice pudding.
00:17:49Oh, look, meeples.
00:17:51That's the Swedish thing, yeah?
00:17:52And pasta.
00:17:53I don't know how to put this one on.
00:17:55All right.
00:17:55Let's see what we can do.
00:17:56Let's make it work.
00:17:57Oh, my God.
00:17:58Oh, my God.
00:18:01Yeah?
00:18:01Okay, okay, we're good.
00:18:03This reminds me of camping.
00:18:04Did you ever go camping when you were a kid?
00:18:06Eh, not really.
00:18:08Not much.
00:18:09I think we all, like, used to have a bit of luxury, and that's why it's a bit hard.
00:18:13How do you even do this one that's in a thing like this?
00:18:16You just pour this.
00:18:19Yeah.
00:18:21Oh, my God.
00:18:23I haven't eaten out of a can for a long time.
00:18:28Oh, my God.
00:18:28In Alicante.
00:18:30Oh!
00:18:32That wasn't what I was expecting.
00:18:35Adam's £50 champagne would cover Becky's food for a week.
00:18:42How many they left it for us?
00:18:44Like, how kind is that?
00:18:45Just enjoy you've arrived.
00:18:52Day two.
00:18:54In Essex, Adam's waking up in a house a quarter the size of his own.
00:18:59Oh, it was a long night.
00:19:01This bed is so uncomfortable.
00:19:03Not looking forward to sleeping here again.
00:19:07Yeah.
00:19:08My sleep was awful.
00:19:10I'm used to moving around in a bed more.
00:19:13I couldn't really move.
00:19:14And this thing above my head as well.
00:19:17Kept beating myself in this in the middle of night.
00:19:20Like over 60% of UK houses, Becky's only has one bathroom.
00:19:25All right, I need to clean my teeth, whatever.
00:19:27Yeah, but I'm not really yet.
00:19:29Yeah, but just move over.
00:19:30All right, you stay on this side.
00:19:32I'll stay on this side.
00:19:33Yeah, OK, but you're on my side now.
00:19:35Hurry up, I need a toilet.
00:19:36Oh, you're going to have to wait, Jamie.
00:19:39I'm trying to get ready.
00:19:40I can't.
00:19:41I miss my own suite.
00:19:43So much room in there.
00:19:45All right, five minutes.
00:19:46We're nearly ready.
00:19:50In Spain...
00:19:51I slept really well.
00:19:52This feels quite hotel-like.
00:19:56There's so many bathrooms.
00:19:57We just need to go for a little hunt for where...
00:20:00Where are the two pastors?
00:20:02For the first time in their lives,
00:20:04Becky and Amy have a bathroom each.
00:20:07We haven't even, like, seen each other, really.
00:20:09Whereas normally, we're all on top of each other.
00:20:13It's a bit chaotic, but this is very...
00:20:16Oh, man.
00:20:18I think I'd want this kind of life.
00:20:20You don't have to share so much.
00:20:22It's so much better.
00:20:26In Essex, Becky uses a food rescue app
00:20:29to hunt down bargain bags of food
00:20:31and keep her groceries to £50 a week.
00:20:34Now it's Adam's turn.
00:20:36OK, so what's normally £9, £10
00:20:39is down to, like, £2 or £3.
00:20:41Oh, that's cool, yeah.
00:20:43That's handy.
00:20:43That's very good.
00:20:44Oh, we're going to make way more of our budget using this.
00:20:47Mm-hm.
00:20:47Oh, look, you can do a full food shop here
00:20:49in the supermarket,
00:20:52but you don't get to choose what you get.
00:20:54That's the only...
00:20:55Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:20:56That's the only problem.
00:20:58Heyman is made through the app
00:21:00to pick up value bags of food
00:21:01from over 30,000 outlets.
00:21:04All right, let's see what this surprise parcel is.
00:21:07Yes.
00:21:08But what's in the bags
00:21:10depends on what hasn't been sold.
00:21:13I think the app's really important
00:21:14because I don't know how they afford to live
00:21:17on the amount of money they have every month
00:21:20here in the UK.
00:21:21Like, the cost of living crisis
00:21:22has literally taken over.
00:21:24This bag would normally cost £10,
00:21:27but using the app, it's down to £3.30.
00:21:31Oh, what have we got?
00:21:32Cakes!
00:21:33Yes, now.
00:21:33Cakes!
00:21:34Oh, the diet's gone right out the window.
00:21:36Look at them.
00:21:37What else have we got?
00:21:40Cookies.
00:21:41Oh, no, it's chocolate.
00:21:43What's that?
00:21:45Mash?
00:21:45Yeah, sweet potato mash.
00:21:47Sweet potato mash, nice.
00:21:48What else?
00:21:49Oh, chicken.
00:21:50Chicken.
00:21:51Oh, now we're talking.
00:21:53I've got to order my food
00:21:54from the supermarket
00:21:55and get deals and that,
00:21:56so it makes me feel privileged.
00:22:01No way!
00:22:03Oh, no, we need to get the water in.
00:22:05Adam has fresh food
00:22:06delivered three times a week.
00:22:08The £600 total
00:22:10would feed Becky
00:22:11for three months.
00:22:13There's a...
00:22:14Asparagus.
00:22:15Asparagus.
00:22:15Asparagus.
00:22:16You used to like that
00:22:17when you were little.
00:22:17Oh, radishes.
00:22:19Radishes.
00:22:19You like radishes.
00:22:20Strawberries.
00:22:21We would never buy
00:22:22all that food in one week.
00:22:23Oh!
00:22:24One hundred
00:22:27and seventy-eight
00:22:28and two peas.
00:22:30One hundred and seventy-eight euros
00:22:32for this.
00:22:34But can they use
00:22:35the two grand high-tech hob?
00:22:38Right, you want scrambled eggs.
00:22:40Which, you know,
00:22:41is just great technology, didn't you?
00:22:43Yeah, I found out
00:22:44how to turn it on,
00:22:45I found out how to turn it up,
00:22:46but now it's flashing.
00:22:47This house is like a robot house,
00:22:50but it's flashing again.
00:22:51There's a button
00:22:52and a screen
00:22:53and stuff to work out
00:22:55for everything.
00:22:56Wait, hold on,
00:22:57hold on, hold on.
00:22:58This induction hob
00:23:00only works with iron
00:23:02or stainless steel pans.
00:23:04Ooh!
00:23:05What have you done?
00:23:05And the only thing
00:23:06heating up
00:23:07is Becky.
00:23:08Amy's absolutely starving,
00:23:09so I'm currently
00:23:10oven-cooking
00:23:12an omelette.
00:23:15In Essex,
00:23:17Adam's also checking out
00:23:18the house
00:23:19and finds
00:23:19a troubling document.
00:23:21So this is a credit card
00:23:23debt
00:23:24of £2,032.
00:23:28She's been using this
00:23:29just for Tesco shopping
00:23:30and things.
00:23:31This is high interest
00:23:32as well,
00:23:33and as the months go on,
00:23:34a normal food shop
00:23:35is now costing way more
00:23:37because they've got interest
00:23:38to pay on top of it.
00:23:39She's in a hard position,
00:23:41and I feel like
00:23:42the only way out of this
00:23:43would be to,
00:23:44you know,
00:23:45make more money.
00:23:47Someone who knows
00:23:48all about Becky's
00:23:49struggles
00:23:49is her good friend,
00:23:50Kirstie.
00:23:51Hi!
00:23:52Hello!
00:23:52Nice meeting you!
00:23:54Hi!
00:23:55Nice to meet you!
00:23:55Thank you!
00:23:56Have a seat!
00:23:57Thank you!
00:23:58So how do you know
00:23:59Amy and Becky?
00:24:00So I met Becky
00:24:0223 years ago.
00:24:03Oh, really?
00:24:04Yeah,
00:24:05we met at a drama group
00:24:06that we used to go to.
00:24:07You were there
00:24:08when Amy was born then?
00:24:09Basically, yeah.
00:24:10She loves drama,
00:24:11dancing, music,
00:24:12she loves all of that.
00:24:13She does musical theatre.
00:24:15I don't know
00:24:15how she fits it all in.
00:24:16Yeah, literally, yeah.
00:24:17Sounds like she has
00:24:18a busy life.
00:24:19So tell us a bit more
00:24:20about what Becky actually does.
00:24:21So she works
00:24:22in a pupil referral unit.
00:24:24Okay.
00:24:24So children that have been
00:24:26suspended or excluded
00:24:27from their school.
00:24:29Oh, I can imagine
00:24:29that is not easy.
00:24:31But she absolutely loves it.
00:24:32She's made for it.
00:24:33So I also see in the kitchen
00:24:35that she's got
00:24:35quite a lot of debt.
00:24:36She works so hard, Becky,
00:24:39but there's just so much
00:24:40that she has to pay for
00:24:42and she's always
00:24:42juggling things.
00:24:44She doesn't want
00:24:44Amy to miss out.
00:24:46Kirsty was there
00:24:47when Becky faced
00:24:48her toughest challenge
00:24:49as a mum.
00:24:50A few years ago,
00:24:51Becky got diagnosed
00:24:52with breast cancer.
00:24:53Oh.
00:24:53Oh, no.
00:24:54Amy was only
00:24:55two, three, maybe.
00:24:58Oh.
00:24:58It was really hard.
00:25:01I mean, she was incredible.
00:25:03She's in remission now
00:25:05and she's doing amazing.
00:25:06But she did all of that
00:25:08with a little girl.
00:25:09Definitely hearing her story,
00:25:11I do have a whole new respect
00:25:13for her.
00:25:15But I know it's just
00:25:16not that easy,
00:25:17especially if you've got
00:25:18into debt.
00:25:19I'm thinking, like,
00:25:20how I could maybe help them
00:25:22with this situation they're in.
00:25:24Coming up,
00:25:25the truth of our Adam
00:25:26is revealed.
00:25:27Adam says to my mum,
00:25:29I'm having a baby.
00:25:30He was 16.
00:25:32It means nothing
00:25:33is, like, unachievable.
00:25:35Adam's inspired
00:25:36by Becky's story.
00:25:38It becomes really apparent
00:25:39that she loves
00:25:40working with children,
00:25:41but she's in a hard position.
00:25:43I feel like there's
00:25:44definitely something
00:25:45that could be done.
00:25:46And Becky
00:25:47is set a daunting challenge.
00:25:49We've got a video book
00:25:51for you to do
00:25:52tomorrow morning.
00:25:54Adam,
00:25:55he's got a lot more
00:25:57self-confidence
00:25:57and self-belief.
00:25:58That is definitely
00:26:00what I need to do.
00:26:06Ex-pat millionaire
00:26:08Adam has gone back
00:26:09to Essex
00:26:10with son Jamie
00:26:10and girlfriend Ebba
00:26:12to live Becky's
00:26:13budget life.
00:26:14Oh, God.
00:26:15Yeah.
00:26:16And they make
00:26:16a big discovery.
00:26:18So this is a credit card debt
00:26:20of £2,032.
00:26:24But I know it's just
00:26:25not that easy,
00:26:26especially if you've
00:26:27got into debt.
00:26:28I'm thinking, like,
00:26:28how I could maybe help them
00:26:30with this situation they're in.
00:26:32But for one week in Spain,
00:26:34Becky has nearly
00:26:3520 times her normal income.
00:26:37Two down to 500!
00:26:41This is so far beyond
00:26:43my wildest imagination.
00:26:48Day three.
00:26:51Right, let's get ready.
00:26:54And for Becky,
00:26:55the multi-bathroom villa
00:26:56isn't quite living up
00:26:57to expectations.
00:26:59Do you like having
00:27:00separate bathrooms?
00:27:01Yes.
00:27:01You do?
00:27:02Yeah.
00:27:03But I miss you
00:27:04when you're not
00:27:06in my bathroom.
00:27:09I do.
00:27:10Me and Amy got ready
00:27:11in the same bathroom
00:27:11this morning
00:27:12because I just can't deal
00:27:13with, like, being separate.
00:27:15And she keeps calling me anyway,
00:27:17so I might as well
00:27:17just be there.
00:27:18Although it's absolutely amazing
00:27:20for a little breakaway,
00:27:21it's definitely not
00:27:22what I aspire to
00:27:23in my day-to-day life.
00:27:27Right on cue,
00:27:28there's a visitor
00:27:29to explain who does
00:27:30aspire to this life.
00:27:32I'm Robin.
00:27:33Oh, Adam's sister.
00:27:34Oh, OK, I'm Becky.
00:27:36Nice to meet you.
00:27:37Oh, happy to meet you.
00:27:37Hi.
00:27:38Robin knows all about
00:27:39Adam's Essex roots.
00:27:41So, you know,
00:27:42we were in this
00:27:43one-bed apartment.
00:27:44Adam says to my mum,
00:27:45I'm having a baby.
00:27:48He was 16.
00:27:50So she's like,
00:27:51right, OK,
00:27:53so Adam's going to have
00:27:55to have the sofa bed
00:27:57and I'm going to have
00:27:58to be in with the twins.
00:27:59We just made it work.
00:28:00So was Jamie's mum there?
00:28:02So when Jamie was born,
00:28:04that made six people
00:28:05in a one-bedroom flat?
00:28:07Yeah.
00:28:07Yeah, so very chaotic time.
00:28:10Although it was stressful,
00:28:11Adam tried to make sure
00:28:12that he did the best
00:28:13that he possibly could
00:28:14to get to where
00:28:16he wanted to be.
00:28:17I remember him
00:28:18getting up early doors,
00:28:19going, washing lorries,
00:28:20and then going out
00:28:21of an evening
00:28:22delivering leaflets
00:28:23for an estate agent.
00:28:24So off the back of that,
00:28:26his boss gave him
00:28:27an apprenticeship
00:28:27and he then learnt
00:28:31everything he needed
00:28:31to learn
00:28:32and opened up his own.
00:28:33He sounds like
00:28:33he was really
00:28:34working hard back then.
00:28:36How did that go
00:28:38from that to sort of this?
00:28:40It doesn't stop
00:28:41till he's on top,
00:28:41but I think the way
00:28:43that he gives back
00:28:44is he now,
00:28:44where he was an apprentice,
00:28:46he now hires apprentices
00:28:47to come.
00:28:48Oh, brilliant.
00:28:49How do you start
00:28:50where he did?
00:28:51I hadn't really thought
00:28:52about where
00:28:53they would be
00:28:55from originally,
00:28:58but I guess
00:28:59it was quite reassuring,
00:29:00if that's the right word,
00:29:02to know that
00:29:03it does happen
00:29:04to people like us.
00:29:06It means that
00:29:07nothing is unachievable.
00:29:11Dad.
00:29:13Yes, mate?
00:29:14What do you want
00:29:14on your toast?
00:29:15Just some butter,
00:29:17please, mate.
00:29:17All right.
00:29:18Jamie normally
00:29:19has everything
00:29:20he could ask for,
00:29:21but this week
00:29:22he's finding out
00:29:23how tough life can be
00:29:25for the other half.
00:29:26I'm missing my usual life.
00:29:28I'd say the best.
00:29:30Adam's hoping the swap
00:29:32will teach Jamie
00:29:32the value of money
00:29:34and how lucky he is.
00:29:36Oh, thank you, mate.
00:29:38Bit of toast.
00:29:39No, plastic.
00:29:43Today,
00:29:44he's taking on
00:29:45Amy's chores.
00:29:46Jamie actually
00:29:47made us breakfast
00:29:48this morning,
00:29:48so that was a first.
00:29:50He doesn't normally
00:29:50do that for us.
00:29:52Lovely.
00:29:52Mm-hmm.
00:29:54All right,
00:29:55so on Amy's list,
00:29:57she has
00:29:58doing the washing up,
00:29:5950p.
00:30:01Next on there
00:30:02is tidying up
00:30:02the living room,
00:30:04tidying up your bedroom.
00:30:05That is one
00:30:06you need to practice
00:30:07because your bedroom's
00:30:08always a mess.
00:30:10The hoover,
00:30:1150p.
00:30:12Nice.
00:30:13Right, mate,
00:30:13that'll do you this morning.
00:30:14You're going to tick off
00:30:15some of them?
00:30:16Yeah, I'll tick off.
00:30:17Right, you've got to do it first.
00:30:20Rub the tick off.
00:30:21No, you can do it.
00:30:22I'm not paying you
00:30:23in advance.
00:30:24Jamie normally gets
00:30:2530 quid a week
00:30:26pocket money.
00:30:27Now he's having
00:30:28to graft hard
00:30:29for 50p a job.
00:30:31He did the washing up,
00:30:32bless him,
00:30:33and he did a good job,
00:30:34actually.
00:30:34No complaining,
00:30:36he just got it done.
00:30:38He will help me
00:30:39at work,
00:30:40and he will try
00:30:40and earn some
00:30:41pocket money himself,
00:30:42so he does have
00:30:43a good attitude
00:30:44when it comes
00:30:44to earning money,
00:30:45but he's got
00:30:46a terrible attitude
00:30:46when it comes
00:30:47to keeping it.
00:30:49I feel quite privileged,
00:30:51but when I come
00:30:52over to the other side,
00:30:53it's not very nice,
00:30:55so I'm starting
00:30:56to understand
00:30:56what other people
00:30:57feel like now.
00:31:01What's the properties?
00:31:03Yeah.
00:31:03In Spain,
00:31:05next on the activity list
00:31:06is going to
00:31:07Adam's Alicante
00:31:08estate agency.
00:31:10Lovely to meet you.
00:31:11I'm Angela.
00:31:12Becky.
00:31:12Nice to meet you.
00:31:13Sales manager Angela
00:31:15knows the secrets
00:31:16of Adam's success.
00:31:18When Adam gets
00:31:19something in his head
00:31:20and says that
00:31:20he's going to achieve it,
00:31:22then nothing
00:31:22he's getting in his way.
00:31:23He's got it.
00:31:24He might as well,
00:31:24if he says that
00:31:25he wants 10 Lamborghinis,
00:31:26I'm like,
00:31:27oh, God,
00:31:28everyone better buckle up
00:31:29because he's getting them.
00:31:30100%.
00:31:31He doesn't take
00:31:31any nonsense
00:31:32from anybody,
00:31:32but he's really,
00:31:33really kind
00:31:34and he's really,
00:31:34really giving.
00:31:35One thing that Adam
00:31:36does very well
00:31:37is try to find out
00:31:37what people's strengths
00:31:38are and try to stretch
00:31:39them a little bit further
00:31:40in what they're good at.
00:31:41And that's what Becky
00:31:43wants,
00:31:44guidance to make more money.
00:31:46Just feel like I'm stuck
00:31:47in this loop
00:31:48of financial struggle
00:31:50that I just can't see
00:31:52how I can break out of.
00:31:54Taking a seat
00:31:55at the boardroom,
00:31:56Becky's strengths
00:31:57are going under the microscope.
00:32:00We set our target
00:32:01of 15 sales this month.
00:32:02The more that we sell,
00:32:03the more that everybody
00:32:04here earns,
00:32:05but most importantly,
00:32:06it's a target launch
00:32:07and we'll get to go
00:32:08after we hit targets
00:32:09at home
00:32:09and we get to go
00:32:10somewhere nice.
00:32:11Adam picks it,
00:32:11of course.
00:32:12Becky's in for a surprise.
00:32:15Adam's organised
00:32:15for her to show
00:32:16a house on camera
00:32:17to see how confident
00:32:18she can be.
00:32:19We've got a video book
00:32:21for you to do
00:32:22tomorrow morning.
00:32:23Yeah.
00:32:23In a nice
00:32:242.3 million home
00:32:26on Las Colinas.
00:32:28We'll go to the property
00:32:29tomorrow.
00:32:30We'll give you a tour
00:32:31around.
00:32:32You can get yourself
00:32:32familiar with it
00:32:33and, yeah,
00:32:34plan what you want to say.
00:32:35Is it actually
00:32:36going to go
00:32:36on the Instagram?
00:32:38Yeah, why not?
00:32:39Okay.
00:32:41Yeah, we don't take
00:32:42no for an answer here.
00:32:44It's a big challenge.
00:32:45Is there anything
00:32:46Becky can draw on
00:32:47from her own job?
00:32:49The children I work with
00:32:50are quite disadvantaged.
00:32:52So they're children
00:32:53with behaviour issues
00:32:54because they just
00:32:56don't want to come to school.
00:32:57They definitely
00:32:57don't want to be in a classroom
00:32:58and they sure as anything
00:32:59do not want to be learning.
00:33:00Okay.
00:33:01So, yeah,
00:33:02Okay, so you've got
00:33:02quite good skills then
00:33:03at being able to
00:33:04get people to do
00:33:05what you want them to do.
00:33:06Yeah.
00:33:07Without being
00:33:08quite so direct though.
00:33:09The way that Angela
00:33:10found the similarities
00:33:11between the two jobs
00:33:12I actually found
00:33:13quite interesting
00:33:14and I never really
00:33:15thought of it
00:33:16that way before.
00:33:17So you're really
00:33:18quite thick-skinned.
00:33:18Oh, yeah,
00:33:19because it's all about
00:33:21managing situations.
00:33:23I definitely feel
00:33:24like Adam
00:33:24is more self-assured
00:33:26than me.
00:33:27He's got a lot more
00:33:28self-confidence
00:33:29and self-belief
00:33:30which I knew
00:33:31I needed to work on
00:33:33but it's really
00:33:33reinforced the fact
00:33:34that that is
00:33:35definitely what
00:33:36I need to do.
00:33:42In Essex,
00:33:43there's no high-end
00:33:44selling,
00:33:45just a local
00:33:46community centre
00:33:47where Becky
00:33:48and Amy
00:33:48head for budget fun.
00:33:51Slow, slow,
00:33:52slowly.
00:33:52Nice and slow.
00:33:53Oh, shush.
00:33:55It's good bonding
00:33:56time and back
00:33:57in old Essex,
00:33:58isn't it,
00:33:58Jamie boy?
00:33:59Yeah.
00:34:00Oh, he's back
00:34:01in the game.
00:34:02He's back in the game.
00:34:03The Hockley
00:34:04Community Centre
00:34:05is one of 20,000
00:34:07local centres
00:34:08in the UK
00:34:08that many low-income
00:34:10families rely on.
00:34:15It's a very
00:34:16different type of pool
00:34:17to the private one
00:34:18Jamie has
00:34:19in Spain.
00:34:20Oh, I'm privileged
00:34:22so I've got quite
00:34:23a lot of things.
00:34:24These people
00:34:25unfortunately
00:34:26don't have as much
00:34:27as me
00:34:28but hopefully
00:34:30one day they do.
00:34:32Oh, the pressure.
00:34:34And it brought back
00:34:35some memories
00:34:35playing pool,
00:34:36sort of like a pub
00:34:37environment again
00:34:38and it was really
00:34:39cool to do that
00:34:40with Jamie
00:34:40so me and him
00:34:41could experience
00:34:42together
00:34:43sort of what I
00:34:44used to do
00:34:44back when I was
00:34:45younger.
00:34:49Another person
00:34:50who relies on
00:34:50the Community Centre
00:34:51is Beth.
00:34:53Oh, hi.
00:34:54Who's worked
00:34:55with Becky
00:34:55teaching children
00:34:56with behavioural
00:34:58issues.
00:34:58I can imagine
00:34:59it's not an easy
00:35:00job at all.
00:35:01You encounter
00:35:02everything.
00:35:03You encounter
00:35:03trauma from children,
00:35:05you encounter
00:35:06difficult upbringings
00:35:09and medical
00:35:10conditions,
00:35:11everything you
00:35:12can think of
00:35:13we see day to
00:35:14day but
00:35:14we love it.
00:35:16So is there
00:35:16a reason for that
00:35:17or is it just
00:35:17something that she
00:35:18started doing
00:35:18and sort of
00:35:19fell in love?
00:35:20It's a real
00:35:20passion for her.
00:35:21I think
00:35:22it's just
00:35:23the growth
00:35:24you see
00:35:25in the children,
00:35:27you see them
00:35:27come here
00:35:28with not
00:35:29trusting anybody,
00:35:30not feeling safe
00:35:31and not wanting
00:35:32to learn hate
00:35:33in school
00:35:34and then they
00:35:35come out
00:35:36feeling
00:35:37that they
00:35:37can rely
00:35:39on people.
00:35:39It sounds
00:35:40like you're
00:35:40doing a great
00:35:40job so
00:35:41well done
00:35:42to you guys.
00:35:43It becomes
00:35:43really apparent
00:35:44that she
00:35:45loves working
00:35:46with children,
00:35:46it's a real
00:35:47passion for her
00:35:48but she's
00:35:49in a hard
00:35:49position
00:35:50and I feel
00:35:51like the only
00:35:51way out
00:35:52of this
00:35:52would be
00:35:53to make
00:35:54more money.
00:35:55I feel
00:35:56like there's
00:35:56definitely
00:35:57something that
00:35:57could be
00:35:58done.
00:36:01In Spain.
00:36:04See you
00:36:05in the
00:36:06morning.
00:36:07Lights
00:36:08out means
00:36:08navigating
00:36:09the £10,000
00:36:10automated
00:36:11system.
00:36:12Oh,
00:36:13why did
00:36:14that work?
00:36:16Right,
00:36:16so all
00:36:17lights on.
00:36:18So we
00:36:18don't want
00:36:18all lights
00:36:19on.
00:36:19Oh,
00:36:20now we've
00:36:20got...
00:36:20Now look,
00:36:21everything's
00:36:22gone off.
00:36:23I just
00:36:24couldn't
00:36:24justify
00:36:25standing in
00:36:27a room
00:36:27for 20
00:36:28minutes
00:36:28when you
00:36:29can just
00:36:29go like
00:36:30that.
00:36:30I don't
00:36:31get it.
00:36:32So if I
00:36:32do that,
00:36:36let's try
00:36:37that.
00:36:44Coming up.
00:36:45Check out.
00:36:46Becky's
00:36:47tested as
00:36:47a millionaire
00:36:48agent.
00:36:49Listed at
00:36:50over two,
00:36:51just over
00:36:51two.
00:36:52I definitely
00:36:53felt the
00:36:53pressure not
00:36:54to be to
00:36:55Essex.
00:36:56And Adam
00:36:57shows Jamie
00:36:58where it all
00:36:58began.
00:36:59This is
00:37:00where you
00:37:00were born,
00:37:01Jamie,
00:37:01look,
00:37:01in that
00:37:02apartment
00:37:02up there.
00:37:03Six of us
00:37:03that lived
00:37:04in this
00:37:04one-bedroom
00:37:05apartment.
00:37:11It's day
00:37:11four of
00:37:12the swap.
00:37:13In Spain,
00:37:14Becky's
00:37:15working out
00:37:15the secrets
00:37:16of Adam's
00:37:17success.
00:37:18If he
00:37:18says that
00:37:18he wants
00:37:19ten Lamborghinis,
00:37:20I'm like,
00:37:20oh,
00:37:20God,
00:37:21they want
00:37:22better buckle
00:37:22up because
00:37:23he's getting
00:37:23them.
00:37:23Adam is
00:37:25more self-assured
00:37:26than me.
00:37:27That is
00:37:27definitely what
00:37:28I need to
00:37:29do.
00:37:30While in
00:37:31Essex,
00:37:32Adam's trying
00:37:33to show
00:37:33Ebba and
00:37:34Jamie how
00:37:35hard his
00:37:35life was
00:37:36before becoming
00:37:37a millionaire.
00:37:38We can boil
00:37:39some eggs.
00:37:39Bored eggs
00:37:40on toast.
00:37:42The reason
00:37:43I want to
00:37:43share it with
00:37:44Jamie and
00:37:45Ebba is I
00:37:46think that
00:37:47they will
00:37:48understand that
00:37:49my ambition
00:37:50comes from
00:37:50somewhere.
00:37:52Becky's
00:37:53house is
00:37:53just 40
00:37:54minutes from
00:37:54where he
00:37:55grew up
00:37:55in Romford
00:37:56as a
00:37:56teenager.
00:37:57Now Adam's
00:37:59made a
00:37:59big decision.
00:38:00Yeah,
00:38:01so today
00:38:01we're going
00:38:02to go back
00:38:02to the
00:38:03apartment,
00:38:03like the
00:38:04flat where
00:38:05Jamie was
00:38:05born,
00:38:06show him
00:38:07where he
00:38:08come from,
00:38:08like humble
00:38:09beginnings.
00:38:10You can
00:38:10rent a
00:38:11one-bed
00:38:11council
00:38:12flat in
00:38:12Romford
00:38:13for £500
00:38:13a month.
00:38:15Adam's
00:38:16Spanish
00:38:16villa would
00:38:17be 20
00:38:17times that.
00:38:18This is
00:38:19where you
00:38:19were born,
00:38:20Jamie,
00:38:20look.
00:38:20in that
00:38:21apartment
00:38:21up there.
00:38:22So this
00:38:22is where
00:38:23we came
00:38:23to when
00:38:24I called
00:38:24Nanny
00:38:24to say
00:38:25that your
00:38:26mum was
00:38:26pregnant
00:38:27with you
00:38:27when I
00:38:28was 16.
00:38:29There was
00:38:29six of
00:38:29us that
00:38:30lived in
00:38:30this
00:38:30one-bedroom
00:38:31apartment.
00:38:32It's crazy.
00:38:33Yeah, it's
00:38:34heavy, man.
00:38:35Thinking back
00:38:35to it now,
00:38:36I don't know
00:38:36how we
00:38:36managed.
00:38:37We were
00:38:38there for
00:38:39nearly a
00:38:39year.
00:38:40It was
00:38:40so cold
00:38:41that the
00:38:42inside of
00:38:42the windows
00:38:42would get
00:38:43condensation
00:38:44on them
00:38:44and wet.
00:38:45You'd wake
00:38:45up and
00:38:46blankets
00:38:46would be
00:38:47wet.
00:38:48That's
00:38:48insane.
00:38:49I know.
00:38:51Look how
00:38:51rough it
00:38:52look.
00:38:52Oh, my
00:38:52God.
00:38:54Must bring
00:38:55back a
00:38:55lot of
00:38:55emotions.
00:38:55Look how
00:38:56small the
00:38:56kitchen was.
00:38:58It's tiny.
00:38:59I think
00:38:59five or
00:38:59six of
00:39:00us in
00:39:00there
00:39:00cooking.
00:39:02This is
00:39:02real tiny.
00:39:03Isn't it?
00:39:04Yeah.
00:39:05Even the
00:39:05car park.
00:39:06Look, they
00:39:06haven't fixed
00:39:06anything.
00:39:07It's funny
00:39:08because there's
00:39:09lots of
00:39:09bad memories
00:39:10of being
00:39:12really cold
00:39:13in the
00:39:13flat.
00:39:14Well, it's
00:39:15a far cry
00:39:15from where
00:39:15we are
00:39:16now.
00:39:16The house
00:39:17that I
00:39:18live in
00:39:18now,
00:39:19in Spain
00:39:19and the
00:39:20house I
00:39:20lived in
00:39:21in the
00:39:21UK is

00:39:56it's a
00:39:57huge day
00:39:57for Becky
00:39:58as she's
00:39:59going in
00:40:00front of
00:40:00camera to
00:40:01sell a
00:40:01luxury villa
00:40:02for Adam's
00:40:02agency.
00:40:04So what
00:40:05are you most
00:40:05nervous about,
00:40:06do you think?
00:40:07Looking really
00:40:07common.
00:40:09Looking
00:40:09really common?
00:40:11Mm.
00:40:12I sound
00:40:12really common.
00:40:13really common.
00:40:14When I get
00:40:15my words
00:40:15muddled up,
00:40:16didn't I?
00:40:16When we're
00:40:17in our own
00:40:18comfort zone,
00:40:19life's easy,
00:40:20isn't it?
00:40:20And then you
00:40:20go and do
00:40:21something and
00:40:21you think,
00:40:22well actually,
00:40:23in my head,
00:40:24that was going
00:40:25to be so
00:40:26difficult.
00:40:27And then when
00:40:28you've done it,
00:40:28it's like,
00:40:29yes,
00:40:30I can do
00:40:30that.
00:40:34Adam's
00:40:34pulling the
00:40:35strings.
00:40:35He's set this
00:40:36up as a
00:40:37secret audition
00:40:37to work out
00:40:38Becky's
00:40:39strengths and
00:40:40see how he
00:40:41can help her.
00:40:42Nice and
00:40:42exciting.
00:40:43Yeah,
00:40:43I'm pumped.
00:40:44Good,
00:40:44good.
00:40:46Angela will
00:40:46be feeding
00:40:47back to
00:40:47Adam about
00:40:48Becky's
00:40:48performance,
00:40:49but can
00:40:50she overcome
00:40:51her nerves?
00:40:52The most
00:40:53important thing
00:40:53is that you
00:40:54come with the
00:40:55energy and
00:40:56you're confident
00:40:56in what you're
00:40:56saying.
00:40:57Yeah,
00:40:57that's fine.
00:40:58It hasn't got to
00:40:58be Shakespeare.
00:40:59Yeah,
00:41:00yeah,
00:41:00yeah,
00:41:00that's fine.
00:41:01You've got to
00:41:02convince what you're
00:41:02saying.
00:41:03Yeah,
00:41:03as long as I'm
00:41:03covering all the
00:41:04points you want,
00:41:04then I'm happy
00:41:05with that.
00:41:06So,
00:41:06that's it.
00:41:06Cool.
00:41:07I'd stand over
00:41:08here and we'll
00:41:09have you walking
00:41:09out and telling
00:41:10everybody to check
00:41:11out the villa.
00:41:12Yep,
00:41:12and I could say
00:41:13six bedrooms,
00:41:15four bathrooms.
00:41:16Six bedroom,
00:41:16four bathroom on
00:41:17Las Colinas Golf
00:41:19Resort.
00:41:19Las Cosinas.
00:41:21Colinas.
00:41:25I think she's
00:41:26a bit nervous.
00:41:28Check out this
00:41:29beautiful villa on
00:41:31Las Cosinas Golf
00:41:33Course,

00:41:37listed at over
00:41:38two,
00:41:39just over two,
00:41:40I definitely felt
00:41:43the pressure not
00:41:45to be to Essex
00:41:46and to speak
00:41:47eloquently.
00:41:49But after a
00:41:50faltering start,
00:41:53Becky hits
00:41:54her stride.
00:41:54This villa
00:41:55features six
00:41:56bedrooms,

00:42:16Oh, thank you.
00:42:17You got all the
00:42:17words that you

00:42:20all good.
00:42:20Thank you so
00:42:21much.
00:42:22Been interesting?
00:42:23Oh, yeah,
00:42:23definitely.
00:42:24Is it interesting
00:42:25enough to swap
00:42:26her Essex pupils
00:42:27for selling houses
00:42:28in Spain?
00:42:30I'm not saying
00:42:32it's a horrible
00:42:32job or anything,
00:42:33it's just,
00:42:34it's not my
00:42:35passion.
00:42:36I'm glad that
00:42:37I took part
00:42:38in the promotional
00:42:39video and it
00:42:42did push me
00:42:43to my limits
00:42:44of my comfort
00:42:45zone.
00:42:46Doing that
00:42:46video will
00:42:47hopefully give
00:42:49her a wider
00:42:50scope to
00:42:51maybe look
00:42:52into avenues
00:42:52she never
00:42:53thought of
00:42:54because she
00:42:54didn't think
00:42:54she was
00:42:55confident enough.
00:42:58So, how
00:42:58well did
00:42:59Becky do?
00:43:00Hi, Ange,
00:43:01how are you?
00:43:01Back in
00:43:02Essex, Adam
00:43:03checks in
00:43:04with Angela.
00:43:05How did
00:43:05Becky get on
00:43:07it today?
00:43:07Oh, she was
00:43:08absolutely amazing,
00:43:09actually.
00:43:09I think she was
00:43:10really nervous
00:43:10to start with,
00:43:11with a little bit
00:43:12of encouragement
00:43:13really, and she
00:43:14kind of settled
00:43:15in quite nicely.
00:43:16Okay, that's
00:43:16good.
00:43:17She works a lot
00:43:17with disadvantaged
00:43:18children, so when
00:43:20she sort of started
00:43:20to explain a little
00:43:21bit more in our
00:43:23board meeting, I
00:43:24think everybody
00:43:24was quite amazed
00:43:25at her determination.
00:43:27Yeah, so that's
00:43:28like her passion,
00:43:29like she's obviously
00:43:30very passionate
00:43:30about that, but if
00:43:32it doesn't make
00:43:32enough money for
00:43:33her to live the
00:43:34life that she
00:43:34wants to live,
00:43:35do you think
00:43:35she'd be open
00:43:36to me sort of
00:43:37mentoring her to
00:43:39help her going
00:43:40forward?
00:43:41Yeah, I
00:43:42definitely do.
00:43:43She's a great
00:43:43woman, she's
00:43:44obviously got
00:43:44quite a savvy
00:43:45brain, she just
00:43:46needs some
00:43:47direction to
00:43:48know what to
00:43:49do.
00:43:50I was so happy
00:43:51to get the
00:43:51feedback from
00:43:52Angela that
00:43:53Becky really
00:43:54went for it,
00:43:55and that really
00:43:57gave me that
00:43:57ambition to try
00:43:58and help her
00:43:59going forward
00:43:59knowing that
00:44:00she would,
00:44:01you know, grab
00:44:03the opportunity
00:44:04with both hands
00:44:05and go for it.
00:44:06While Adam
00:44:07hatches a plan
00:44:08to help Becky
00:44:09make money
00:44:09around her
00:44:10teaching,
00:44:12in Alicante,
00:44:13for once,
00:44:14Becky has a
00:44:15very different
00:44:15type of cash
00:44:16problem.
00:44:18Oh, wow.
00:44:19Yeah, like a...
00:44:21That's really
00:44:22nice.
00:44:22Like a two-piece
00:44:23and then you
00:44:23can always put
00:44:24something underneath.
00:44:26Oh, OK.
00:44:27With £1,800
00:44:28still in her
00:44:29pocket, next on
00:44:30the schedule is
00:44:31shopping in
00:44:31Alicante's top
00:44:33boutiques.
00:44:36What about
00:44:37a nice
00:44:38colourful
00:44:39blouse?
00:44:40Oh, yeah,
00:44:40I would try
00:44:41that on.
00:44:42I feel guilty.
00:44:43Normally, I
00:44:43definitely wouldn't
00:44:44dream of spending
00:44:45any money on
00:44:46myself,
00:44:47voluntarily,
00:44:48without getting
00:44:49like five people's
00:44:50approval.
00:44:51Give it a go.
00:44:54Yes.
00:44:55Becky's normal
00:44:56clothes budget
00:44:57is £40 a month.
00:44:59Today, she can
00:45:00spend nearly
00:45:0150 times that
00:45:02amount.
00:45:04very nice.
00:45:05I actually
00:45:06really like this
00:45:06one.
00:45:07Yeah, it's
00:45:07really comfy.
00:45:08I love how it
00:45:09cinches you
00:45:09in at the
00:45:10ways.
00:45:10Yeah.
00:45:10And then it
00:45:11kind of goes
00:45:12out.
00:45:12It's nice and
00:45:13floaty, nothing
00:45:13too tight.
00:45:14Yeah, definitely,
00:45:15I feel like.
00:45:16And it's got
00:45:16pockets.
00:45:17Is it actually,
00:45:18oh, my God,
00:45:19sold?
00:45:22Becky's gaining
00:45:23in confidence and
00:45:24learning sometimes
00:45:25it's OK to put
00:45:26yourself first.
00:45:27This is nice.
00:45:28I actually like this
00:45:29a bit.
00:45:29That looks a lot
00:45:30better.
00:45:31Doesn't it?
00:45:32Yeah.
00:45:32I like this.
00:45:33I feel really
00:45:34like sophisticated
00:45:35in it.
00:45:37And I feel so
00:45:38confident at
00:45:39work.
00:45:40Yeah.
00:45:41That'd be 209
00:45:43with 90 cents.
00:45:45Perfect.
00:45:46Let me get it
00:45:47bagged up.
00:45:48I'm just out of my
00:45:48comfort zone spending
00:45:49money on myself.
00:45:50So, yeah, just
00:45:53very bizarre.
00:45:54Bye.
00:45:55At the end of a
00:45:56hard day's shopping,
00:45:57including four pairs
00:45:58of shoes for Amy,
00:45:59Oh, I like these
00:46:01shoes.
00:46:01Oh, I like these
00:46:02shoes everywhere.
00:46:05Becky heads home
00:46:06after forking out
00:46:071,000 pounds.
00:46:11Coming up.
00:46:12Wow.
00:46:13A life-changing
00:46:14moment.
00:46:15I really do need
00:46:16to do some kind of
00:46:17self-care.
00:46:18I feel like it's
00:46:19definitely the next
00:46:20step in my journey.
00:46:23And Adam and Jamie
00:46:24muck in for a
00:46:25massive surprise.
00:46:27We're going for a
00:46:28full transformation
00:46:28so that Amy has
00:46:30somewhere nice to
00:46:31come and play when
00:46:32she comes back.
00:46:39It's day five of the
00:46:40swap.
00:46:45Yeah, this is our
00:46:47absolute best life.
00:46:49While in Alicante,
00:46:51nine-year-old Amy has
00:46:52all the space and
00:46:53luxury she could
00:46:54dream of.
00:46:56In Essex, Adam and
00:46:58Ebba are trying to
00:46:59adjust to a no-frills
00:47:00life.
00:47:02What do you think of the
00:47:03house so far?
00:47:04I'm struggling, to be
00:47:05honest.
00:47:06Yeah, me too.
00:47:07I'm not a fan,
00:47:08actually.
00:47:08I don't like it.
00:47:09I'm really, actually,
00:47:10really tired after
00:47:11tonight.
00:47:11Haven't slept well in
00:47:13here.
00:47:13No, no.
00:47:16Jamie's also feeling
00:47:18the impact of living
00:47:19life like the other
00:47:20half, doing chores
00:47:22every day for a
00:47:22fraction of his
00:47:23normal £30 a week
00:47:25pocket money.
00:47:27All right, you've
00:47:27done the washing up.
00:47:30That's 50p.
00:47:31Tide of the living
00:47:31room, we've done
00:47:32that one.
00:47:32Tide of the bedroom,
00:47:33we've done that one.
00:47:34You've done the
00:47:35hoovering, so that's
00:47:37£2.
00:47:39Yeah, but you've
00:47:39done a really good
00:47:40job, to be honest,
00:47:40so take £5, all
00:47:43right, so you can
00:47:44get some sweets from
00:47:44the shop.
00:47:45All right?
00:47:46Yeah.
00:47:46Good boy.
00:47:48Adam's doing well
00:47:49with Becky's £128
00:47:51budget.
00:47:52You all right?
00:47:54Using Becky's food
00:47:55rescue app throughout
00:47:56the week, he still
00:47:57has £75 left.
00:48:01I had to do chores,
00:48:03washing up, I had to
00:48:04do hoovering, I had to
00:48:05tidy the living room
00:48:06and the bedroom.
00:48:07It'll taste even
00:48:08better, knowing how
00:48:09hard you've worked
00:48:10for it.
00:48:11At Jamie's age, Adam
00:48:13had to graft for every
00:48:14penny.
00:48:15Have a good day.
00:48:16But then got his big
00:48:17break with an estate
00:48:18agent.
00:48:20Now, inspired by
00:48:22Becky's work with
00:48:23referred pupils, Adam
00:48:24is researching how to
00:48:25give Essex teens the
00:48:27same kind of chance he
00:48:28had.
00:48:29And has tracked down
00:48:31Hayley, who is the
00:48:32manager of Essex Youth
00:48:33Build, which helps
00:48:34young adults into
00:48:35construction.
00:48:37Hi, Hayley.
00:48:38Very nice to meet you.
00:48:39And you.
00:48:40So how many children do
00:48:42you actually help with
00:48:43your programme?
00:48:45In Essex alone, there
00:48:46are thousands of young
00:48:47children and older
00:48:50children that are not in
00:48:51education or employment
00:48:53or in training.
00:48:54Oh, wow.
00:48:55And alternative
00:48:55provisions are needed to
00:48:58cater for those young
00:48:59people.
00:49:00Becky, who I've swapped
00:49:02houses with, she actually
00:49:05helps children that are
00:49:07going through a hard
00:49:08time.
00:49:09If they stay in school,
00:49:10that's great.
00:49:12If school's not for you,
00:49:13it doesn't mean that when
00:49:15you leave school, there's
00:49:16nothing.
00:49:16It's about coming together
00:49:18almost as a family and
00:49:20offering these young
00:49:21people a future.
00:49:22Yeah, that's something I'm
00:49:24really passionate about
00:49:24finding.
00:49:25I really want to put a
00:49:26scheme together with
00:49:28Becky so that we can help
00:49:30as many young people as
00:49:31possible get into, you
00:49:34know, further education
00:49:35and start building
00:49:37something that will give
00:49:38them a career in the
00:49:39future.
00:49:39I know that the young
00:49:40people that we interact
00:49:42with, there's thousands
00:49:45more that don't know
00:49:46about these services.
00:49:48What you're doing with
00:49:49Becky is going to open up
00:49:51doors to young people that
00:49:52honestly didn't know they
00:49:54were there.
00:49:55Yeah, that's exactly what
00:49:56we need to do because,
00:49:58like I said before, if I
00:49:59didn't have this
00:50:00opportunity when I was
00:50:01younger, I really don't
00:50:03know if I would be where
00:50:04I am today.
00:50:06This looks a bit posh,
00:50:08doesn't it?
00:50:09Becky normally devotes
00:50:11her life to others, but
00:50:12this week has a chance to
00:50:14finally put herself first.
00:50:17It's amazing.
00:50:18Wow.
00:50:21It's so beautiful.
00:50:23Next up is a luxury spa
00:50:25and a 100-pound massage.
00:50:28Oh, my God.
00:50:30This is madness.
00:50:32Definitely not real life.
00:50:35With Amy and Bev in the pool
00:50:37next door, the time is all
00:50:40her own.
00:50:44I cannot remember the last time
00:50:47I spent quality time by
00:50:48myself.
00:50:51The things that I find
00:50:53difficult to let go of
00:50:54are the guilt.
00:50:56Like, I felt guilty that my
00:50:58mum was looking after Amy.
00:51:01I really do need to work out
00:51:03how I can do some kind of
00:51:07self-care.
00:51:08I feel like it's definitely
00:51:10the next step in my journey
00:51:12because I don't feel like I
00:51:15can move on to the next part
00:51:19of whatever's going to happen
00:51:20without being able to have
00:51:22that.
00:51:25Really tickling.
00:51:27The treatment was amazing
00:51:28and my shoulders are finally
00:51:31put around my ears.
00:51:32So that's a nice feeling.
00:51:35Becky might be learning
00:51:37self-care.
00:51:38That's for the therapist
00:51:39because she was just amazing.
00:51:40But there's nothing selfish
00:51:41about a 100-pound tip.
00:51:44I feel very relaxed now.
00:51:47Oh, you know what that means,
00:51:48don't you?
00:51:49What happened?
00:51:50Yeah, she'll go to sleep.
00:51:52So, should we say goodnight
00:51:54to her now?
00:51:54See you in the morning?
00:51:56I think so.
00:51:59In Essex, Becky's tiny house
00:52:02has been a tough reminder
00:52:03of Adam's teen years.
00:52:05Right, I need to clean my
00:52:06teeth ever.
00:52:07But there's one area
00:52:08that could be transformed
00:52:09to make a huge difference
00:52:10to Amy.
00:52:12The garden really dawned on me
00:52:14that we need to try and do
00:52:16something to fix that.
00:52:18That's a space that they
00:52:19could be using to enjoy
00:52:20as a family.
00:52:21It's just completely
00:52:22wasted at the moment.
00:52:25Yeah, Jamie, look,
00:52:26if we get somebody
00:52:27to fix all of this,
00:52:29fix the steps,
00:52:30so then it's safe.
00:52:31Yeah.
00:52:32And then up here,
00:52:33it's just clearing it,
00:52:34get rid of all of that.
00:52:35Look, once you clear
00:52:36all of this,
00:52:37the garden's not that small.
00:52:39We're going for a full
00:52:41transformation so that
00:52:42Amy has somewhere nice
00:52:43to come and play
00:52:44when she comes back.
00:52:47The £70 remaining
00:52:48from the weekly budget
00:52:50won't go far,
00:52:51so Adam dips into
00:52:53his own pocket
00:52:54and his contacts.
00:52:56I managed to rope in
00:52:57a friend of mine
00:52:58called in a favour,
00:53:00so he's got a garden
00:53:01and property
00:53:02maintenance company
00:53:03and me and Jamie
00:53:04have made a bit
00:53:05of a plan
00:53:05of how we can make
00:53:06that a lot nicer
00:53:07than it is.
00:53:09They are like
00:53:10insane fast, actually.
00:53:11They just started
00:53:12digging in directly
00:53:13and I can't wait
00:53:15to see Amy's reaction
00:53:16on it.
00:53:18The apartment
00:53:19that Jamie was born in,
00:53:20that didn't have
00:53:22any outdoor space
00:53:23at all.
00:53:24So I definitely
00:53:26understand what it'd be
00:53:27like to not have
00:53:28that space, you know?
00:53:29But I do think
00:53:30it's really important
00:53:30for a little one
00:53:31to be able to play
00:53:31outside and get
00:53:32some fresh air
00:53:33and exercise.
00:53:34Again, done now, guys.
00:53:37Oh, a bit of hard graph.
00:53:38It's good for us, eh?
00:53:40Get going.
00:53:41Well done.
00:53:42Strong lad getting
00:53:43in all the turf rolls.
00:53:48In Spain,
00:53:49spending big
00:53:50hasn't been easy
00:53:51for Becky.
00:53:53Now, on their
00:53:54final evening,
00:53:55there's a last chance
00:53:56to splash the cash.
00:53:57at one of
00:53:58Alicante's
00:53:59best restaurants.
00:54:00And there's enough
00:54:01money left
00:54:02to order whatever
00:54:03they want.
00:54:04Right, Amy,
00:54:04what do you fancy?
00:54:06Try caviar.
00:54:0775 euros.
00:54:09Want to try an oyster?
00:54:10Um, go on then.
00:54:11Not surprised
00:54:12there's lobster.
00:54:13130 pound,
00:54:14I just can't do it.
00:54:16130 euros
00:54:17is insane.
00:54:20It's like
00:54:20two weeks worth
00:54:21of shopping.
00:54:22It's
00:54:23my council tax bill
00:54:25for the month.
00:54:26If you really
00:54:27want it,
00:54:28it's probably
00:54:29the only time
00:54:30you're going to be
00:54:30able to get it.
00:54:31That is true.
00:54:32Go for it.
00:54:34It did take
00:54:35Amy
00:54:37really,
00:54:38really
00:54:40encouraging
00:54:40me to get that.
00:54:42They ordered the works.
00:54:44First up,
00:54:45Amy's
00:54:4575 euro
00:54:47caviar.
00:54:49It's not horrible.
00:54:51You like it, see?
00:54:53Amy wanting caviar
00:54:54is something
00:54:55she has said
00:54:55all week
00:54:56and to be able
00:54:57to give her
00:54:58the opportunity
00:54:58to try something
00:54:59like that,
00:55:00it's just not real life.
00:55:02It's like
00:55:02fairytale stuff.
00:55:04Mission complete.
00:55:05Next,
00:55:06three oysters
00:55:07at six euros
00:55:08a pop.
00:55:09Three,
00:55:10two,
00:55:10one.
00:55:11Do it.
00:55:14I did want
00:55:15my pretty woman
00:55:16moment
00:55:16of trying
00:55:17an oyster.
00:55:19Nope.
00:55:20No,
00:55:21I just got the oil.
00:55:22Yeah.
00:55:23I couldn't get it
00:55:23in my mouth,
00:55:24but quite disappointing.
00:55:28Have some
00:55:29of your drink.
00:55:32Finally,
00:55:33the 130 euro
00:55:34lobster.
00:55:35Wow.
00:55:36Ooh,
00:55:37it smells.
00:55:38Ooh,
00:55:38the ice.
00:55:42Oh,
00:55:42it's delicious.
00:55:43Wow.
00:55:44With drinks
00:55:45and pudding,
00:55:46there's little
00:55:47change
00:55:47from 400
00:55:48pounds.
00:55:49What an
00:55:50experience.
00:55:51Caviar,
00:55:52lobster,
00:55:54oysters,
00:55:55all in
00:55:56one dinner.
00:56:02Right,
00:56:03last day,
00:56:04we're on the
00:56:04last dregs
00:56:05of the food
00:56:06that we've got.
00:56:06It's been
00:56:07a hell of a week,
00:56:08lots of ups
00:56:09and downs.
00:56:11All right,
00:56:11guys,
00:56:12the last supper.
00:56:14Going back
00:56:14on my own past,
00:56:16bringing up
00:56:17things that
00:56:17I sort of
00:56:19suppressed
00:56:21and never thought
00:56:21I'd really have
00:56:22to think about
00:56:22again.
00:56:23Yeah,
00:56:24and I miss
00:56:24all the little
00:56:24luxuries that we
00:56:25have,
00:56:25being able to
00:56:26pop down to
00:56:26the clubhouse
00:56:27when we're hungry
00:56:27and have our
00:56:28lunch made for us.
00:56:29Like,
00:56:29I wouldn't say
00:56:29we're lucky.
00:56:30I worked hard
00:56:31to be able to
00:56:32have all of that,
00:56:33but I would say
00:56:34that we take it
00:56:34for granted
00:56:34and we definitely
00:56:35could be more
00:56:36grateful for it.
00:56:37Now,
00:56:37I think when we
00:56:38get home,
00:56:38we're going to
00:56:38be more grateful
00:56:39for everything.
00:56:41Eating their
00:56:41last food app meal,
00:56:43Adam has a
00:56:43light bulb moment
00:56:44how to help
00:56:45Becky.
00:56:46The time you spend
00:56:47going on the app,
00:56:48finding it,
00:56:49going to the shop,
00:56:49picking up the bagels
00:56:50and coming back,
00:56:51you could have done
00:56:52half an hour of
00:56:54digital marketing
00:56:55and then made
00:56:56enough money
00:56:56to go out
00:56:56and buy steaks.
00:56:58Adam's idea
00:56:59is to mentor
00:57:00Becky so she can
00:57:01work part-time
00:57:02advertising businesses
00:57:04online.
00:57:05I'm looking forward
00:57:05to changing her
00:57:06mindset of going
00:57:07from trying to save
00:57:09money,
00:57:09being in survival
00:57:10mode and getting
00:57:11into thrive mode
00:57:12so she can actually
00:57:13do well for herself
00:57:14instead of being
00:57:14in that scarcity
00:57:15mindset.
00:57:18And in Spain,
00:57:20the electric blinds
00:57:21are coming down
00:57:22one last time.
00:57:23I'm feeling sad
00:57:25about how I have
00:57:27to live in this
00:57:28beautiful house.
00:57:30If there's anything
00:57:31you can want here,
00:57:32you have nearly
00:57:33an unlimited budget.
00:57:36I would love
00:57:37to learn from Adam
00:57:40if he has any
00:57:41thoughts or ideas,
00:57:42especially spending
00:57:42a week in my life
00:57:45on how to help me.
00:57:47I hope Adam sees
00:57:48that my work is a passion
00:57:50because it's the need
00:57:52that these kids have
00:57:53that actually drives me
00:57:55to do what I do
00:57:56and I'm not
00:57:57intentionally keeping
00:57:58myself in this
00:58:01financial situation.
00:58:05Coming up,
00:58:06when the two families
00:58:07meet...
00:58:08Hello.
00:58:10You all right?
00:58:10Adam makes Becky
00:58:11the offer of a lifetime.
00:58:13And so we feel like
00:58:14that is something
00:58:15that you can do
00:58:16and sort of get out
00:58:17of this, like, rut
00:58:18and be able to, like,
00:58:19live the life
00:58:20that you want to live.
00:58:21What?
00:58:28Day six
00:58:29and a final morning
00:58:31in the swap houses
00:58:32before everyone returns
00:58:34to their normal lives.
00:58:37Cheers, everybody.
00:58:38Cheers.
00:58:40Happy...
00:58:40Happy experience.
00:58:42I'm feeling sad
00:58:44about how
00:58:45I have to leave
00:58:47this beautiful house
00:58:49where I can finally
00:58:50brush my teeth with mummy
00:58:52without having to
00:58:53squeeze in for the sink.
00:58:55Becky's been inspired
00:58:57by the week
00:58:58to think about
00:58:58a better future.
00:59:00I would love
00:59:01to get to a position
00:59:03where my house
00:59:04was all done
00:59:05to my taste,
00:59:07no debt
00:59:08and having enough
00:59:10income
00:59:11just to be at a place
00:59:12like that
00:59:12where I don't have
00:59:13to worry every second
00:59:14and if I ever
00:59:15got to a point
00:59:15where I didn't have
00:59:16to check my banking
00:59:16up every morning
00:59:17when I woke up,
00:59:18that would be delightful.
00:59:23Oh, I'm looking forward
00:59:24to going home now.
00:59:25Me too.
00:59:26I can't wait.
00:59:28I'm looking forward
00:59:29to meeting the family now
00:59:30and having a, like,
00:59:31chat about how
00:59:32they've experienced
00:59:33our life in Spain.
00:59:34Yeah, me too.
00:59:36Let's go.
00:59:38Becky and co
00:59:39make the journey
00:59:40back to England
00:59:41where they've organised
00:59:42to meet Adam,
00:59:43Jamie and Eva
00:59:45at a hotel.
00:59:50Hello.
00:59:52How are you?
00:59:53So nice to meet you.
00:59:55How are you?
00:59:56Nice to meet you.
00:59:57Are you OK, Andrew?
00:59:58Hello.
01:00:00Oh, my God,
01:00:01your home is so amazing.
01:00:02Oh, thank you so much.
01:00:04How are you?
01:00:05Honestly.
01:00:07So why do you have
01:00:09saucepans that don't
01:00:10work on your hob?
01:00:12Oh, because half of it
01:00:13isn't induction,
01:00:14half of it is.
01:00:15Well, it wasn't half that.
01:00:17Honestly.
01:00:18Oh, my life.
01:00:20Yeah, yeah.
01:00:21How funny.
01:00:22Well, we had the same
01:00:23problem because we
01:00:23couldn't figure out the gas.
01:00:25What did you think
01:00:25of Amy's bedroom?
01:00:26It was a lot different.
01:00:28It was smaller.
01:00:29Very, very well put.
01:00:32How did you get
01:00:33through with all
01:00:34of my teddies?
01:00:35Because I have
01:00:36a massive hammer.
01:00:37It wasn't bad.
01:00:39It's just every time
01:00:40I moved my head up,
01:00:41my head would touch it.
01:00:43You got loads of teddies.
01:00:43You got to take that to cuddle,
01:00:44not?
01:00:47Immersing themselves
01:00:48in Becky's life,
01:00:50Adam discovered
01:00:50she's had to borrow
01:00:52over 2,000 pounds
01:00:53just to keep on top
01:00:55of the food bills.
01:00:56Yeah, so we met
01:00:57Beth and Kirsty.
01:00:59Okay.
01:00:59And they nearly
01:01:02had us in tears
01:01:03telling us about
01:01:04your stories.
01:01:05They were lovely.
01:01:06So we see that you
01:01:07had some debts
01:01:08that are just looking
01:01:09like they're just
01:01:10mounting up.
01:01:13So we're going to
01:01:14clear your credit card
01:01:16bill for you
01:01:17so you can sort of
01:01:18start from scratch
01:01:19and catch your breath
01:01:21and not have to
01:01:22worry about that.
01:01:23Oh, thank you.
01:01:25And then we've
01:01:28spoke about this
01:01:28in depth
01:01:29and we feel
01:01:29it's not a problem
01:01:30that you spend too much
01:01:31because you just
01:01:32struggle to earn enough.
01:01:33Yes, I do.
01:01:34But the problem is
01:01:35that you don't have
01:01:35much time
01:01:36because you're so
01:01:37passionate about
01:01:37working with the children
01:01:38and helping them.
01:01:39So one of the things
01:01:40that we have
01:01:40is a £10,000
01:01:41digital marketing course
01:01:43that we've signed
01:01:44you up for.
01:01:46Yeah, if you're open
01:01:47to it, I'll personally
01:01:47mentor you
01:01:48and I'll teach you
01:01:49how to get
01:01:49big clients
01:01:51and big businesses
01:01:52on board.
01:01:52And then by leveraging
01:01:54AI, you'll only
01:01:55really have to work
01:01:56one to maybe
01:01:57two hours a day
01:01:59to work for
01:02:00these big companies
01:02:01to make an extra
01:02:01in between
01:02:02£1,000 and £5,000
01:02:04a month.
01:02:05So we feel like
01:02:06that is something
01:02:07that you can do
01:02:07whilst continuing
01:02:09to work with
01:02:10the children
01:02:11and sort of
01:02:11get out of this
01:02:12rut and be able
01:02:13to live the life
01:02:15that you want to live.
01:02:16That's amazing.
01:02:17Thank you so much.
01:02:18I'll bite your hand off.
01:02:19I will be your best student.
01:02:20Oh my goodness.
01:02:21Thank you so much.
01:02:23No worries at all.
01:02:25And there's more
01:02:25to come.
01:02:26Adam's so inspired
01:02:27by Becky's work.
01:02:29He has a plan
01:02:30to make a real
01:02:31difference to
01:02:32Essex teens.
01:02:33And then also
01:02:34we want to set up
01:02:36like a sponsorship
01:02:37package for
01:02:38children that you
01:02:40help from your school
01:02:41to get apprenticeships.
01:02:43So just like I had
01:02:45like when I was 17.
01:02:46So we want to do
01:02:47that for children
01:02:48from your school.
01:02:48So and then
01:02:50but what that means
01:02:51is that they'll be
01:02:52able to earn
01:02:52while they learn
01:02:54so they earn
01:02:54like they can earn
01:02:55up to 15,000 pounds
01:02:56per year by
01:02:58working whilst
01:02:59they're learning
01:02:59how to be
01:03:00like a trade
01:03:01or in like
01:03:02a profession.
01:03:03That would
01:03:03absolutely change
01:03:04their lives.
01:03:07So last but not
01:03:09least, of course
01:03:10we have not
01:03:11forgotten
01:03:11little Amy.
