The show 'Welcome to Wrexham' has been transcendent to the town, the local football club and Wales as a whole. The reality show starring and produced by movie star Ryan Reynolds and TV star Rob McElhenney is the best tourism ad for the city in northeast Wales.

Jeff and Janice Ivey are from New Braunfels in Texas—but not for long. Jeff is already house-hunting in Wrexham. The move will be easier for him as the 62-year-old has UK citizenship due to his Scottish ancestry. Janice, 65, has put their Texan home on the market while awaiting her visa.
