A couple who were left with just £71 a week of spending money were left in tears after being offered a package worth £30,000 by a Cardiff couple on the latest episode of Rich House, Poor House. The episode saw wealthy Cardiff couple Matt and Andrea Callanan swap lives, houses and budgets with the Bristolian Burrows for a week.
We met Ant, a delivery driver with a passion for podcasting, and Tash, who had just started a pole dancing business, and said they were “barely making enough to cover the bills” in Sunday's episode. They lived in a three-bedroom former council house in Bristol with their two children.
Despite Ant putting in 12-hour shifts on the job, the family are left with just £71 a week after all the bills are paid, with Tash saying on the Channel 5 show that Ant was suffering “a lot of sleepless nights.” Attempting to get the family out of debt, Tash had set up a pole dancing school - but her studio was “barely breaking even.” For some extra money, she was also upcycling glassware.
