A single mother working four jobs has been given a lifeline by a wealthy couple after appearing on Channel 5's Rich House, Poor House. Sue, from Ashby, Scunthorpe, juggles roles as a carer, assistant nurse, cleaner, and burger seller to support herself and her 16-year-old son James.
Sue dreams of launching a food business producing high-protein hemp products, but with just £70 left each week after bills, she has been unable to pursue it. During the show, she swapped homes with millionaires Nick and Sarah, who own a five-bedroom farmhouse with luxury amenities and a £4million-a-year horse racing business.
Nick, who works up to 90 hours a week, was impressed by Sue's work ethic and decided to help. He arranged a food business consultation with a friend and bought Sue a food wagon van. Nick also took a stake in the venture and serves as a company director.
Additionally, Nick offered James a paid summer position working with his handyman, converting a garage into residential accommodation. Sue was overcome with emotion, saying she felt like 'a little hamster on a wheel' but now sees a way forward.
