00:01Go on, what's the best thing about those Spanish costas?
00:04I like getting the sand in between my toes.
00:07The great shops.
00:08Atmosphere.
00:08Sea.
00:09You hate the sea.
00:11Shut up.
00:12But one thing we can all agree on,
00:14with over 300 days of that glorious sunshine a year,
00:17it sure beats the cold and grey of the old UK.
00:21Ah, this is a lie.
00:23Living that dream can be blooming hard graft.
00:26Misting.
00:27My lad, you're right.
00:29Stress level.
00:30Through the roof.
00:31But at the end of the working day...
00:33Girl power.
00:34Girl power.
00:35Come on, Sam.
00:36Forward.
00:36Booyah.
00:37The quality of life on the costas...
00:42Is priceless.
00:44Cheers.
00:45Peace and love.
00:46Cheers.
00:47That's why there will always be...
00:49Start again.
00:50She's waffling.
00:51Oh, Kerry.
00:52A lot cheaper than England.
00:53Everybody's in that friendly zone.
00:55This is heaven.
00:56Bargain-loving Brits in the sun.
01:01Today on the costas...
01:02Good evening, everybody.
01:04Cafe owner Kayleigh's reaching for the stars.
01:07I've got butterflies and I feel a little bit, you know, nauseous.
01:11As she and her girl group have a make-or-break gig.
01:15Let's go!
01:16Double-O Ant goes deep under cover.
01:18If I put this on, none of them will realise it's me.
01:22As a big birthday surprise for a special mate.
01:25I feel like a peeping Tom.
01:26And we pop a paw in the past as Pat pulls out all the stops to try and achieve her
01:31daunting ambition.
01:33I won't be able to sleep tonight.
01:44Where are you going to sit, darling?
01:46In Almeria...
01:47That one's reserved.
01:48We've got this one here.
01:48We've got the one over the back there.
01:50Cafe manager Kayleigh is working a busy afternoon shift at her family's cafe.
01:55Are you having anything to eat, darling?
01:57No, I have an almost, basically.
01:58What would you like in it?
02:00Ham and mushroom.
02:01Ham and mushroom?
02:02And would you like salad with that?
02:05But tonight, she'll be swapping frothy coffee for bubbly vino to follow her dream.
02:10There you go, darling.
02:11Cappuccino.
02:12The dessert's just coming, okay?
02:13With her first ever professional gig as part of girl band Carver Chicks.
02:18We've all been great friends for a while.
02:19We all love singing and decided why not put all of our voices together and make...
02:24make another complete different show.
02:27Kayleigh performs solo as a Shania Twain tribute act before she joined the band a year ago.
02:33It's one of our family friends' wedding reception tonight,
02:35so it's really, really important that we get everything right.
02:38This is the first gig we're all getting paid,
02:40and I think that adds a bit more pressure.
02:42It's got to be perfect.
02:44Nothing less will do if they want to kickstart a career on the costas.
02:49Mum Karen and Dad Steve will be in the audience to cheer Kayleigh on.
02:53I'm a little bit nervous for Kayleigh tonight and the two girls,
02:57because it's a lot of songs they've got to learn.
02:59Anyone could forget a line.
03:02That would be a supreme disaster.
03:05Ta-da!
03:0725-year-old Kayleigh was born in Essex.
03:09There we go, ladies.
03:11But has been in Spain for nine years.
03:13Enjoy.
03:15If the group can deliver a smash-hit performance tonight,
03:18it could be the start of an exciting new career.
03:21I've got butterflies, and I feel a little bit, you know, nauseous.
03:27How's your nerves?
03:28My nerves?
03:28They're, like, right up here at the minute.
03:30You'll be fine.
03:31And if you need me to sing, obviously, I'm there for you.
03:35Maybe not, Steve.
03:36Bandmate Emma's here to take Kayleigh to the venue.
03:40Hi there.
03:41Hiya, you all right?
03:42Yeah, you?
03:43You ready for this?
03:44Mm, yeah.
03:46Very proud of her.
03:46She'd like a chip off the old block.
03:48If I could do what she could do, I'd be doing it.
03:51Oh, my God.
03:52I wouldn't be cooking, no.
03:56And the reality of headlining at the happiest day of someone's life
04:00is starting to sink in.
04:02We've got the sound check in around half an hour, 45 minutes,
04:05and we really need to get this right because it's the bride and groom's a big day,
04:09they're a big party, so we need to make sure everything is perfect for them.
04:13The pressure's on for Kayleigh and her bandmates to shine
04:16and give a performance that will kick off their girl group career.
04:25We all love little strokes and little cuddles.
04:27Yes, we do.
04:29Good morning.
04:30It's a lovely sunny morning.
04:33Um, my name's Pat O.
04:36Oh, we all know who you are, Pat.
04:38The dog rescue duchess of the Costa Blanca.
04:40Hello, darling.
04:42I had no intentions of coming to Spain to work.
04:47I think this is last one.
04:48I had quite a nice lifestyle, you know, socially and everything.
04:52Yay!
04:53Happy!
04:54And then I got involved with the dogs.
04:57And for two decades of dedicated service, all those mutts by the Med salute you.
05:32Come on, come on, come on, Chicky.
05:32The plans we had were that we were going to retire here.
05:35And that didn't happen because he unfortunately died in 1999.
05:42So those plans just were shredded.
05:45Better, aren't they?
05:46They're a lot better.
05:47Yeah.
05:48Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:48I thought I was going to sunbathe all day and just be a lady of leisure and have a wonderful
05:54life.
05:55Ha ha, you're all cheeky.
05:57But instead, since 2005, Pat's kept herself busy with animal rescue.
06:03Come on, sweetheart.
06:05No need to be frightened, no.
06:07She's now its president and is involved in renting kennels, boarding up to 12, but it's
06:12becoming a squeeze.
06:14You get hooked on it when you rescue a dog and you see it improve and become a healthy
06:22dog.
06:23You then see you can do it again and again and again.
06:25And it's an expensive habit.
06:28In the boarding kennels, we pay six euros a day.
06:32So overall, a month, you're going to say about 500 a week can be a maximum of 2,000 a
06:36month.
06:37And the vet's bills, another 2,000 a month.
06:40So it's a lot of money.
06:43But life-saving for dogs like nervous Sergio.
06:46Two years ago, we found him in the streets looking very thin and his bones were sticking
06:52out, you know.
06:53Without the charity, without looking after the dogs and working out how to get the
06:57cash in every month, then I think I would just turn into an old woman.
07:01So I've got to keep doing what I'm doing until at least I can find somebody to take
07:05over from me.
07:06And then I can chill and turn into an old woman.
07:12Not yet.
07:13In fact, big changes are afoot.
07:16Wonderland.
07:18Pat's about to take on the biggest challenge of her life.
07:21This is where we're going to have our own kennels built because we actually own this land.
07:26It's been made possible thanks to a very generous benefactor.
07:31We will obviously have our own overheads of kennels, but we won't have that set figure
07:38of six euros a day per dog to find.
07:41Building her own kennels is an ambitious and game-changing plan.
07:45The next event is a huge event, which I'm hoping will raise two and a half thousand euros, hopefully
07:52more.
07:53And she's going to need all the help she can get to pull it off.
07:59Coming up.
08:01A jittery build-up to a huge night for Kayleigh.
08:04No panic.
08:05I'm not panicking.
08:06I know, I was talking to myself looking at you.
08:09And Ant.
08:11I'm looking for one of them days.
08:12Swoops back to the Costa Blanca on a surprise mission.
08:16Does anyone know Ami yet?
08:18Nobody.
08:19We said he was going to keep it a secret and we've kept it a secret.
08:39So, it was a mad flight, really, really quick, but I have these air-brained schemes, and this
08:45is one of them.
08:46In Alicante, Ant has just touched down on the Costa Blanca for another one of his flying
08:51visits.
08:52I live for one of them days.
08:55Having left work behind, Ant's on a 24-hour whistle-stop trip to surprise one of his nearest
09:00and dearest.
09:02Today, my very good friend Denise is celebrating a big birthday, and it'll be her first one
09:08that she's had in Spain that I haven't been there for.
09:10She's celebrating it with all the girls today and doesn't think I'm coming.
09:14She's probably been my central point of living in Spain the last 15 years.
09:18My confidant, my mentor, a little bit of wisdom.
09:22It's Ant's second trip back to his old Costa Blanca stomping ground since moving away from
09:27Denise and his group of lady friends four months ago.
09:31It's been quite a traumatic summer for them.
09:34When I went to the Costa Del Sol for three days, I didn't envisage that six weeks later I'd be
09:38moving there.
09:39The good thing about today is every single person that's going, although they started off as clients, they're all now
09:44friends.
09:46Over the past 15 years, Ant's fitness classes helped build a community of residents that became as close as family.
09:54People come and go in your life, but friends are friends.
09:57And one thing I've been lucky enough to do over the last 15 years is to build and mould that
10:02community that I missed from the UK.
10:06But uncharacteristically for Ant, today he's keeping his last minute visit on the down low.
10:12I've had to work kind of covert.
10:14One of the ladies, Angie, has just told Denise that she's bringing a friend with her.
10:18And Angie's the only one out of them all that knows I'm going to be there today.
10:21So it'll be interesting.
10:25But before Ant springs his surprise at the golf club, he's checking in with his undercover agent, Angie.
10:31Hello, Ant.
10:32Hello, Ant. How are you, my love?
10:34I'm very well. How are you? I've just off-footed it in.
10:38Well done, you.
10:39Does anyone know I'm here?
10:41Nobody. We said he was going to keep it a secret and we've kept it a secret.
10:47Time for mission surprise Denise to get underway.
10:50Grace, I'm going into the card shop and get this card and I'll speak to you later.
10:54OK, love.
10:55Thanks for being me mole.
10:57Bye-bye.
10:58Bye-bye, my love. Bye.
10:59It was a big decision for Ant to leave his friends for a new job selling homes on the Costa
11:04del Sol.
11:04And friend Denise has also faced challenging times.
11:09Denise has had to be strong, certainly the last couple of years, losing her father and her husband in very
11:13quick concession.
11:15And then deciding it was time to relocate back to the UK where her family are.
11:20We'll go with a bit of sentiment.
11:22I was just thinking about you.
11:23Within weeks of each other, we both ended up moving.
11:27But the last thing either of us envisaged was that she'd be the one waving me off.
11:32And she's waved me off and she's still on the Costa Blanca.
11:35And I'm down on the Costa del Sol selling the dream.
11:40Usually, I'd have a look for something else.
11:42But A, she's in the middle of moving.
11:44And B, what do you get someone who's got everything?
11:46I know it took a lot out of her.
11:48And it has taken a lot out of her mentally.
11:51So, to keep his arrival under wraps, Ant's hatched a cunning plan.
11:56I brought a couple of masks with me and see if we can try and disguise me a little bit.
12:00The best way to disguise me, though, is to shut me trap.
12:03Hear this voice coming out and they know it's me straight away.
12:09So, I'm here.
12:10I'm incognito.
12:11I'm riddled with arthritis.
12:13And I knew today was going to be a long, long day.
12:15So, I've had to bring the stick with me.
12:17Otherwise, I won't get round this mini-golf.
12:19My idea is now I'm going to sneak in, go and get these horrible flying clothes off.
12:23And put something nice and fresh on to greet the ladies.
12:26It's a mission almost impossible for Motormouth Ant.
12:29He'll have to keep shtum so he doesn't spoil the big surprise.
12:39Hi, everybody.
12:41Hi, Margaret.
12:41How's the leg?
12:42Oh, I'm not better, thank you.
12:43Oh, nice to see you.
12:45Hi, Thelma.
12:47Julie.
12:47Helen.
12:48President Pat's pulling in favours left, right and centre to help her realise her dream of building her own kennels.
12:55Starting with some deals on wheels in Boussot.
12:59Today, we're holding our monthly car boot sale to raise money for the animals.
13:04Oh, wow.
13:05Look at all this.
13:06Hey, goodness me.
13:08Having bought the all-important land, the pressure's on Pat to find the money so they can start the build.
13:15Sometimes it's a nightmare thinking about, are we going to raise enough money to do this?
13:20So, every penny counts.
13:21The target today at the car boot sale is to raise six or seven hundred euros.
13:27And who doesn't love a rummage in the back of a car?
13:30Hi.
13:30How are you?
13:32Pat charges five euros to park and pitch.
13:35Gorgeous.
13:35Oh, look, they're pebbles.
13:38Oh, these are lovely.
13:40Yeah.
13:40Gorgeous.
13:41Absolutely gorgeous.
13:42Everything's three euros.
13:44Well, you can't beat that, can you, eh?
13:45Yeah.
13:46Oh, this is Vicky with her cake store.
13:49Oh, save us a slice, will you?
13:51Everything is almost new.
13:52And if you want to bargain, well, have a route about there.
13:56Wonderful stuff.
13:58These are my friends who, in the UK, are very famous authors.
14:03And today they've brought their books, sent to them by the publishers, to sign with all the proceeds to bark.
14:12So, this is Kitty Neill and this is Sam and we've been friends forever.
14:16Or it feels like forever.
14:18It feels like it.
14:19Sam writes more racy books, you know?
14:22Move over, Jilly Cooper.
14:24Here we are, Vicky, 20 euros.
14:27This is our raffle this morning.
14:30It's a grid where people pay five euros for a number on this grid from 1 to 50.
14:38And then, at the end of the day, Nathan will do a random number thing on his phone and the
14:46winner takes that home with them.
14:48You can come out with almost 100 euros of booze, which is fabulous.
14:52And a hangover thrown in.
14:53But it's all for a good cause.
14:56We rescue abandoned, abused, neglected dogs and cats here in Spain so that they're not euthanised.
15:05Cruelty, in any form, still makes me cry.
15:09It still upsets me.
15:11It still gives me sleepless nights.
15:15If we hit this target today, that's enough money to cover our kennel costs for a week.
15:21How's it going this morning?
15:23Slowly.
15:24Four euros.
15:25Oh, is that all well?
15:26Never mind.
15:27One more.
15:27One more.
15:28Can't go on holiday with that.
15:30But paying the bills is no laughing matter.
15:41My favourite spot at home is outside.
15:46And it's on my roof terrace.
15:50What is not to love?
15:53You can eat outside, drink outside, in the open, surrounded by plants.
16:00I have the most incredible view.
16:03And I could actually see Gibraltar and Africa.
16:10It's everything I always wanted.
16:15And we're here morning and night.
16:24Do you know, I sit in my corner and I look at the view and the palm trees and the
16:33water and
16:34the boats, and I think how lucky I am.
16:37Oh, this is the life.
16:49Have you got your outfit started?
16:51I've just got to find my dress.
16:52I know it's somewhere.
16:53It's either in my wardrobe or in one of the drawers.
16:56In Almeria, singer Kayleigh and bandmate Emma are on the way to a rehearsal for their first
17:01ever paid gig.
17:03It's been a manic week.
17:04Fitting all the rehearsals in as well.
17:06Yep.
17:06So we can get everything small.
17:07And then the kids on top of that as well.
17:10It's all go.
17:11If they can nail it tonight, it could be the start of a glittering professional music career.
17:19Right, and what do you need out of here?
17:22Just my mic stand.
17:23It's a pivotal night for the band, as well as for the bride and groom who booked them
17:28to sing.
17:29Don't lose your dress.
17:30I know.
17:30Did it fall off?
17:31Third member, Abby, has timed it perfectly.
17:34Right, shall we, ladies?
17:35Let's go.
17:37At the venue, newlyweds Maria and Chris are getting ready to party after saying I do just
17:43six weeks ago.
17:44Hi.
17:52Yes.
17:58So we've got the stage just over there. Dancing will be on this area here, or on the tables,
18:06on the bar wherever anybody really wants to dance bride maria has high expectations for the band's
18:13performance known her for about 10 years now since she's been out here and to watch kaylee develop
18:19and grow and mature with her singing she knows she gives me goosebumps every time she sings
18:26so i'll put our last songs near the top there are you happy with the way they are or would
18:30you like
18:30to change anything emma and abby both work here at the bar while kaylee runs a cat with her
18:36mum and dad come give me a cuddle she's also a busy mum of two to jackson and sky balancing
18:44the cafe
18:45and the singing is difficult it's hard work and then you throw the kids into the equation and it
18:50makes it even harder kids are in a good mood which makes a change she's covered in chocolate
18:57tonight is the first step in what the band hope will be a new career hey should we give it
19:02a go
19:02and get the sound check done yeah yeah let's go let's go for it and with 100 people on the
19:07guest
19:07list they need to sound pitch perfect there's a little bit of a buzz on one one two one two
19:17teaming up with the girls has meant a real leap forward for nervous kaylee
19:24when you're on stage on your own it's it's lonely you've got nobody to bounce off of and everyone's
19:29staring at you but when you're all together it makes you more confident in yourself and in each
19:35other because it switched on abs is it not on she did turn it on at least you knew there
19:42was
19:42something wrong yeah that is true so from last year when i was singing
19:49on my own to now it's a new lease of confidence it's just gone
19:58apart from the speaker not being on the sound check was great
20:03but we're going to do another song with the speaker on hopefully i'll be able to hear it better this
20:07time we won't keep going on about it okay thanks before when i was singing on my own performing in

24:18san c phone just three words that sum up the costas for many of us brits
24:24but there are of course plenty of others chaos nuts crazy it's crazy out here therapeutic laid back
24:35that's hyphenated andy but we'll let you off if i had to choose a word it would be amazing cheap
24:43buildings buildings yeah they're different you're not wrong heidi vibrant atmosphere awesome welcome
24:57and so say all of us and i'm sure aunt would agree
25:03so the plan now is to try and hide for as long as i can and maybe watch the girls
25:08playing a bit of gold
25:09on the costa blanka i've got me disguise so i'm thinking if i put this on none of them would
25:15realize
25:16it's me um excuse me sir have you seen aunt he's flown in on a covert mission to surprise his
25:22close
25:22friend denise on her 78th birthday i feel like it's back to capture this will probably be her last year
25:31celebrating her birthday with us in spain because she's going back to the uk as well herself denise
25:36and the ladies here today used to be in ants fitness group which he ran in spain for 15 years
25:42before
25:42moving to the costa del sol that's denise at the back what's really lovely is the fact that they're
25:49all here today and even though in theory i'm not i've still managed through everything i've built up
25:55the last 15 years to keep them socializing together and that to me is a job well done
26:00for getting older and with a lot of the women who lost the men fundamentally the social side of
26:06fat fighters is the main reason we're now a community social club
26:10but aunt denise has been a loyal support throughout the years
