and live on Freeview channel 276
Self-made Doncaster millionaire Terri Ann-Nunns and her family will swap homes with Anne and Mick Ross and their five children for the show which takes two families from the same town from either side of the rich-poor divide to see how the other half lives.
Terri-Ann makes £1.8million a year as a diet guru and lives in a six-bedroom home while the Ross family get by on £200 a week.

'If the business hadn't taken off I would still be in a house the same as where Mick and Anne live
'And I think we would still have been as happy cause we were happy then.'
Terri-Ann made her fortune by creating her own diet plan, and she and her husband Michael and their three children, teenage Aaleyah, Aamaya, six and Arlo, two, have a budget of £1,200 a week.

He tells the show: 'People from the higher earning spectrum can maybe take for granted a little bit that they can just get what they want.”
'And we can't afford to give them that, and that's heartbreaking, it really is.'
The programme will be shown on Channel 5 at 9pm tonight.
