Overview
- The Channel 5 swap, which aired Sunday, paired millionaire trader Lewis and his friend Helen with Nicole and Grant, a Grantham couple raising three boys on a tight budget.
- Lewis paid more than £1,000 for Grant’s dentures, and Grant said the new teeth restored his smile and lifted his confidence to seek better-paid work.
- Lewis offered Nicole a trading mentorship valued at £15,000 with potential access to £100,000 in funds once she proves she can trade profitably, with earnings described on the show as possible rather than guaranteed.
- He also cleared the couple’s credit card debt, which they said came from wedding costs and replacing a broken car, easing monthly strain on the household.
- The family live in a three-bedroom council house and say they often have only £100 a week left after bills, with bereavement and untreated dental problems having stalled Grant’s efforts to move up at work.
