A father on Channel 5's Rich House Poor House broke down in tears as he revealed the heartbreaking reasons he cannot secure a better job. Grant, a joiner from Grantham, lives with his wife Nicole and their three boys in a three-bedroom council house, surviving on just £100 a week after bills.
Grant has worked at the same conservatory factory since age 17, earning £360 per week. He dreams of a higher-paying job to provide more for his children, but his confidence was shattered when his stepfather passed away two years ago. 'He was a big part of my life,' Grant said, visibly upset.
His hopes were further dashed when he lost both front teeth to decay. Nicole explained that since losing his teeth, Grant's confidence plummeted and he stopped talking about career progression. The cost of dentures, over £1,000, was beyond their means.
During the show's house swap, millionaire currency trader Lewis from Norfolk covered the dental bill. Grant was fitted with new dentures, transforming his smile. 'I feel more confident, a lot happier now,' he said.
Lewis also cleared the couple's credit card debt and offered Nicole access to his £15,000 trading mentorship. Once she becomes a successful trader, she will gain access to £100,000 in trading funds, potentially earning £50,000 to £100,000 annually.
