A single mother from Gateshead has been given a "life-changing" boost after a millionaire couple cleared her debts and helped her fulfil her business dream.
Young mum, Natalie, has been given the opportunity to start up her very own nail business with courses all being paid off for her by a well-off family.
Viewers tuning into Channel 5 show Rich House Poor House will be able to watch the moment Natalie breaks down in tears as she is given the life-changing career opportunity. Natalie shared her hopes to earn more money to give her young daughter Ava the best in life, while she hoped to start up her own nail business.

The MirrorOnline reports that wanting to get the necessary training, Natalie feared she would not make it happen due to the costs of the courses as well as the products she would need. Natalie, who worked part-time at a petrol garage while trying to get her nail business off the ground, revealed there were times where she and Ava had no money, and she could not pay her bills.
She also said she'd taken out a loan for business related items, but was now in debt to pay it back with the interest increasing the monthly costs.
The show sees families from different sides of the wealth gap swap houses and lives for a week, as well as budgets. Natalie switched places with wealthy couple the Singhs, who run a thriving cosmetics clinic. They immediately sympathised with Natalie and her hopes to achieve her business goals.
The couple shared how growing up, they and their parents had very little and while they are wealthy now, they wanted their children to value what they had.
As the week went on, Dr Rashpal Singh and his wife Kiran shared their desire to help Natalie with her debts, and they soon sought ways to help her achieve her dream work with her own nail business.
After getting an idea of her weekly life, from her budget to her business plans, the couple sought advice from local nail art specialists before offering the single mother a life-changing opportunity - but that wasn't all.
As Natalie met the couple for the first time, after spending a week in their home, she was left in tears as they declared they'd cleared the debt she owed from the loan for the laptop. Wanting to help her further her nail career, they then told her they'd be paying for her to have credit courses for nail and nail art.
In emotional scenes, Natalie told the pair they had changed her life - as they went on to add they'd got her an opportunity to work with someone local to her, who had over 20 years experience.
It could lead to substantial paid work, they revealed, with Natalie saying: "This is gonna completely change my life. I'm more than grateful."
