'˜Rich House Poor House' Yapton family pleased with episode
The Channel 5 programme, which aired last night, showed Victoria Maude, her husband Paul Walker and their three children switch lives with a family in Fareham.
Victoria, whose family is listed as being in the top ten per cent for income, said she was grateful the show explained the majority of their £1,716 a week budget went on school fees and not shopping.

She said: “I’m really pleased we did it, that they could come here and they enjoyed it.
“I’m really glad it helped in some way.
“It’s such a privilege for anyone to live in someone else’s home.”
Watching the programme together at home she said she had a pillow ready to hide behind but it came out ‘much better than expected’.
