Channel 5's 'Rich House, Poor House' follows two families from Worcester as they swap lives for a week, showcasing the stark differences between their lifestyles. Rick and Lorraine Gannon, a wealthy property-owning couple, offer their support to Michelle, a single mother struggling to raise her two young children on a limited budget.
The Channel 5 programme 'Rich House, Poor House ', featured two families from Worcester who swapped lives for a week. The show highlighted the stark differences between their lifestyles, with one family facing financial struggles while the other enjoyed significant wealth. Michelle, a single mother raising two young children, one of whom is autistic, lives in a modest three-bedroom semi-detached house with limited resources.
She relies on a carer's allowance to support her family, and her home reflects her financial constraints. In contrast, Rick and Lorraine Gannon, a property-owning couple, live in a luxurious six-bedroom, six-bathroom house worth £1.5 million. Their spacious home includes a gym, snooker room, and an office, showcasing their comfortable lifestyle. The show followed both families as they adapted to each other's circumstances. Michelle and her mother-in-law, Sue, were given a lavish weekly budget of £2,000 and were overwhelmed by the Gannons' spacious property. They struggled to manage the lack of accessibility in their own home, particularly with Michelle's non-verbal autistic son, Toby. Meanwhile, Rick and his family faced the challenges of stretching a limited weekly allowance of £147 to cover their needs. This forced them to make adjustments to their usual spending habits. During their time together, the families shared their experiences and connected on a personal level. Rick was deeply moved by Michelle's dedication to her children and her dream of starting a foundation in honor of her late father-in-law. He pledged to clear Michelle's debts and support her in achieving her ambition. Michelle, in turn, was inspired by Rick's commitment to his son and his founding of Worcester's first power wheelchair football club. She expressed gratitude for the opportunity to experience a different lifestyle and the newfound support she received from the Gannons
