12 months ago on Rich House, Poor House, two families from opposite ends of the wealth divide swapped homes, budgets and lifestyles for one week.
📍 The Fox Family – Bradford, West Yorkshire
Jamie and Lee Fox were struggling with £20,000 of debt, raising three children while living on a tight budget in rented accommodation. Lee worked long hours as a lorry driver, while Jamie balanced childcare with a part-time job — dreaming of one day starting her own business.
📍 The James Family – Home Counties
Entrepreneur and business mentor Jessen James, his partner Lorna, and her two daughters lived a financially secure life filled with opportunity and time for family.
Determined to explore whether the North/South divide limits opportunities, Jessen wanted to prove that mindset could be more powerful than postcode. For one week, both families walked in each other’s shoes — and the experience left a lasting emotional impact.
👉 One year later, we return to see the results:
• Did Jamie find the confidence to start her own business?
• Did living simply change Jessen’s view on success?
• Has this experience altered their lives for good?
• Can a week living someone else’s life truly change your future?
🔍 This episode explores:
• Wealth inequality & the North/South divide
• Living with debt versus financial freedom
• Dreams of entrepreneurship under pressure
• Family values beyond income
• Social mobility & mindset change
• Life-changing impact of the swap
💬 “Sometimes it only takes one week to change everything.”
👉 Watch to find out what happened 12 months after the experiment — and whether Rich House, Poor House truly changed their lives.
