00:01Woohoo!
00:02Rich holidays
00:03Look at that!
00:04I can't imagine waking up to that every morning!
00:06Are the stuff of dreams
00:08Oh my god!
00:09We've got our own plunge post days!
00:12But can cheap getaways
00:15be just as fun?
00:16I'm having a good time!
00:18I'm not getting in that!
00:19For the first time, wealthy jet-setters
00:22This is the life!
00:24And hard-up holiday-makers
00:26They do look really posh
00:28travel together on two wildly different trips
00:32Do you guys drink alcohol?
00:33No.
00:34At all?
00:35No.
00:36To experience each other's idea of the perfect break
00:39The universe is really powerful
00:41If only positivity could pay the bills
00:43Can the rich rough it?
00:44There is no way on God's green earth
00:46that you or me are going in this
00:48Can the less wealthy stomach lavish luxury?
00:51I'm gonna be sick
00:53I hate that you made me touch seafood, how about that?
00:55And at the end
00:56134,000
00:58You could buy my house and landscape my garden
01:02Will one family's holiday heaven
01:04Give me off, give me off, give me off, give me off
01:06Be another's holiday hell
01:08Let's get mash off
01:09Absolutely not
01:10This is possibly going to be the worst holiday I've ever been on
01:13Do you remember that song that we did with the tambourines?
01:23Okay, shall we do that?
01:24Rich friends Jackie and Martine waltzed through life with a spring in their steps
01:29Sit still
01:31She's gonna, she's gonna drive me nuts
01:33Yes, I probably will drive you nuts
01:35They met over 50 years ago strutting their stuff with dance group The Young Generation
01:41It's been my happiest times performing on TV as a dancer
01:45Step or change, step or change
01:47Now aged 69 and 70
01:49These grandmas show no signs of slowing down
01:52In life, you've gotta try everything
01:55I don't think age should stop you
01:57La, la, la, la
01:59I'm all about fun
02:01Firecracker Jackie still loves the limelight
02:05And recently recorded a single in glitzy Saint-Tropez
02:09In Saint-Tropez
02:10When it's a lovely day and the sun is shining
02:13It's tongue-in-cheek
02:15Yes, it'll be alright
02:18In Saint-Tropez, wonderful
02:21As well as teaching dance
02:23Jackie is now a mover and shaker in the property world
02:26With a talent for flipping houses
02:28Property has made me quite a lot of money
02:30Yeah, profit on the last property I did
02:32I made about 50,000 pounds
02:34Martine also has the Midas touch running a successful dance school
02:39Business is fantastic
02:41I consider myself very lucky to be in this position
02:45When it comes to holidays, these go-getters seek out high-octane activities
02:50This is in the Cayman doing some scuba diving there
02:53And then, ah, paragliding
02:55And then there's the flying zip warrior
02:57Oh, yeah, yeah
02:58In Sri Lanka
02:59If it looks like fun, they'll throw money at it
03:01The most expensive holiday I've been on is the Ice Hotel in Sweden
03:05It cost about £12,000
03:07It was one of the most incredible experiences I have ever had in my life
03:11And as for the food, it's first class all the way
03:15I'm a real foodie
03:17And if it looks good and it tastes good
03:19I really don't mind how much it costs
03:21Martine is a foodie too
03:23And can also be picky about her fellow holiday makers
03:26How will she cope with people used to budget breaks?
03:29The worst thing would be is if they really didn't want to interact or not do anything
03:34Cheers
03:35Can we rust it?
03:36This is going to be, um, going to be interesting
03:39Yeah, very
03:41Ooh
03:42How are you getting so lucky?
03:43Because I'm good, it's not luck, it's skill
03:47Portsmouth, home to besties Kelly and Louie
03:51Can you reach them up there?
03:52Nineteen, yeah
03:53They met three friends eleven years ago
03:58And have been inseparable ever since
04:00If you spoke to anyone they would say they're like an old married couple
04:03Definitely, yeah
04:04So yeah, that's how we like it though
04:07Fortunately that is very true
04:08It is
04:10Twenty-nine year old happy-go-lucky Louie
04:12Works shifts for a budget airline
04:14But still hasn't flown the nest
04:16And lives with mum and dad
04:18I don't feel like I've got enough money behind me
04:20To go and put a deposit down or somewhere
04:22Louie gets stuck into anything
04:25And earns extra cash flipping burgers in his dad's truck stop cafe
04:29Service please, burger ready
04:31Good afternoon, Kelly speaking
04:33Thirty-four-year-old Kelly, a single mum to an eight-year-old daughter
04:37Works for a transport company
04:39Yeah, that's all done for you
04:40I sort of work as hard as I can
04:42Sometimes I'll even work a night shift
04:44Um, just because the night shifts are a bit more money
04:47Two for four there
04:48Each month, after bills and food
04:51Kelly is left with just a hundred and twenty-five pounds
04:54Look, buy one get one free there
04:56Buy one, look, it was bargain
04:57There's so much you want to buy
05:00But you can't
05:01So don't spend on things that aren't necessarily needed
05:04Holidays for this pair are cheap as chips
05:08But always cheerful
05:10We like Benidorm
05:12Oh yes
05:13We love Benidorm
05:14Or we'll do a nice little caravan break, won't we?
05:17Yep
05:18Enjoy the caravans
05:19Usually always go to us the arcades
05:21We tend to do that sort of once a day, don't we?
05:23Yep
05:24To keep costs down, it's self-catering or budget fast food
05:27I mean we don't really go out to eat that much
05:30But if we do we'll always get like a sharing platter
05:33And it works out cheaper sometimes as well
05:35So why go on holiday with complete strangers?
05:38We're taking part in this to see how the upper half live
05:43But posh active holidays aren't top of Kelly's bucket list
05:47Some people enjoy doing yoga at 6am or going for hikes
05:51And I'm more of a pina colada by the pool kind of girl
05:55The pairs are spending a week together on two very different trips
05:59Oh my god
06:00The envelope is here
06:02They'll be going on a top-notch holiday that's the norm for Jackie and Martine
06:06First though, a bargain break that's right up Kelly and Louie Street
06:10This is a bit like the horses, isn't it?
06:12I'm a bit scared to open it
06:14I'm a bit scared to open it
06:15If we stayed somewhere where rooms were dirty
06:18Pubic hairs in the bed
06:19Oh!
06:20It's like, you know, dirty toilets
06:23That is my worst nightmare
06:25You're going on a budget break to Western Supermare
06:30Oh my god
06:31Sleeping in a back-to-basic static caravan
06:34Oh my god
06:35Bit of us that
06:36It is very us
06:37Very us indeed
06:39Western Supermare is a classic British seaside town
06:43Attracting 750,000 visitors each year
06:47Who come for its sandy beaches, pier, arcades and cheap accommodation
06:52Both pairs will be staying in ten foot wide static caravans on a holiday park
06:58And just like Kelly and Louie, Jackie and Martine will have to make do with basic essentials
07:03I don't think the other couple realise what they've signed up for, do they?
07:07No
07:08It's the first day of the budget holiday
07:11Hello!
07:13Oh my god, this is so exciting
07:15I'm a little bit nervous
07:16Yeah, this is going to be a challenge
07:18Quite intrigued to know what they're going to feel like coming on one of our holidays
07:22Hopefully they're packing all the right stuff
07:24You never know
07:25They might enjoy it
07:26Yeah, yeah
07:27Okay, we're done
07:28We're set
07:29Let's do it
07:30Let's go
07:31Kelly and Louie know all the tricks for caravanning on a budget
07:35Rule one, bring your own food
07:37Cool bag
07:38Yep
07:39Bacon
07:40Yep
07:41Bread
07:42But Jackie and Martine have other priorities
07:45I brought my hairdryer because I thought there just won't be a hairdryer there
07:48I've got a hairdryer, where do we, did we really need to bring two?
07:52Yes
07:53Shall we have a couple how it's done?
07:54Yep
07:55Living off one of the best caravan holiday of their lives
07:58Probably the only one as well
08:00The holidaymakers will meet for the first time after they've checked out their caravan
08:05Caravan's for sale, we could buy a caravan
08:08Look, for 12,000 that's what you spent on your holiday
08:11All right, number 15, yeah
08:14Okay, it is
08:15Kelly and Louie are on familiar turf
08:18Oh, this is nice
08:21Oh, here
08:22But Jackie and Martine have never set foot in a caravan
08:26Oh, my goodness
08:28Oh, wow
08:31Bloody hell
08:32Oh, my God
08:35That's yours
08:36That's the mattress
08:39That's the mattress
08:40Oh, that's the most important thing as well
08:41Oh, dear Lord
08:42Oh, no
08:43Upmarket Martine is more used to high-end hotel suites
08:47I've not done a caravan site, so this is definitely more basic than I'm used to
08:54Um, do we make our own vets then?
08:56Yep
08:57My God, are we going to be able to stay here?
09:00It's the moment everyone has been waiting for
09:03The two couples from different sides of the wealth divide are about to meet for the first time
09:09Oh, my goodness
09:10Hi
09:11Hello
09:12Hi
09:13Hi
09:14Lovely
09:15Look at you
09:16Hello, Louie, nice to meet you
09:17Hi, Louie, lovely to meet you
09:18Thank you
09:19Come sit down
09:20We come from Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire
09:22Oh, nice
09:23Very nice
09:24So, have you been here before?
09:25No, it's our first time, but we like to do caravans a lot
09:28When we first met Louie and Kelly, you know, they were fun, bubbly, laughing, hugging, and I thought, yeah, great couple
09:35Jackie's 70
09:36What?
09:37No way
09:38And Martine's 60
09:39I'll be 17 next year
09:40No way
09:41Wow
09:42Honestly, you don't look, both of you do not look at your ages
09:44Well, that's very nice of you
09:45I will buy you a drink tonight
09:47There was no awkward silence, if anything, we were all talking at the same time
09:51The newfound friendship is about to be tested
09:54As Jackie and Martine inherit Kelly and Louie's holiday budget for food and activities
09:59Mmm
10:01100
10:02110
10:03120 pounds
10:05What would that get us on a holiday?
10:07A normal holiday?
10:08Yeah, well, you know, normal
10:09That's probably a one-night meal
10:10It would be
10:11For two people
10:12We're foodies
10:13So, yeah, that's a tight budget
10:16In Western Supermare, the ladies will have to make do with cheap seaside grub
10:21You like mushy peas?
10:22No, I don't
10:23Curry sauce?
10:24No
10:25No
10:26I'm gonna look at your food
10:27Yeah, go for it
10:28Yeah, go for it
10:29Oh my god, you don't mind us doing that?
10:31No, it's not
10:32Unlike Kelly and Louie, rookies Jackie and Martine have lots to learn about caravanning
10:37Bacon
10:38Butter
10:39Yeah
10:40Of course
10:41Oh, hang on a sec
10:42Sausages
10:43Yes
10:44Martine and I came underprepared, there is absolutely no doubt about that
10:48Tonight's dinner is on Kelly and Louie and on the menu, frozen lasagna ready meals
10:54Go on, strum it with us
10:55This is hopeless, mine's completely frozen
10:59That is such an evil giggle
11:01Having a microwave beef lasagna, I didn't know what to think actually, but we immediately knew we were very different
11:09It's a brand new adventure for food lover Martine, who has never used a microwave
11:14Cannot believe I'm doing this
11:16Oh my god
11:17I'm sure it probably was a shock to their assistant
11:20Oh god
11:21You burnt your tongue
11:22You're not used to having a microwave for me, I suppose, because they're probably used to five-star dining
11:29I think Martine is quite happy to sort of be the lady of leisure, but it's an experience and they're willing to take part
11:37It does feel budget, definitely budget holiday
11:42Coming up
11:43This is very frustrating
11:45The cracks begin to show
11:47I can honestly say, I don't think I'd do it again
11:49As Jackie and Martine hijack the budget break
11:54You do know that you're on our holiday
12:04Two budget savvy buddies
12:06Pool bag
12:07Yep
12:08Bacon
12:09Yep
12:10Are showing a pair of glam go-getters
12:12Oh my goodness, hi
12:13Hello
12:14How to holiday on the cheap
12:16120 pounds
12:18We're foodies
12:19So that's a tight budget
12:21Having a microwave beef lasagna
12:23Go on strum it with us
12:24Cannot believe I'm doing this
12:26We immediately knew we were very different
12:31It's the first morning of the budget side of the holiday
12:34It would be nice if there was a sort of, you know, some washing up liquid and a sponge and basics
12:40We've run out of Luron
12:42Unlike Kelly and Louie, Jackie and Martine didn't bring any essentials with them
12:47There's coffee there
12:49No, I don't drink instant, sorry
12:51The 120 pounds in their pocket is usually only enough for a quick mani-pedi
12:57This is actually looking quite expensive
12:59But today, 20 pound of it will buy some basics to survive the holiday
13:04Thank you
13:05It's not just a budget they'll have to adjust to
13:08Good morning
13:09Good morning
13:10It's the holiday activities too
13:12And they're about to find out what they're in for
13:15Crazy golf
13:16Crazy golf
13:17Crazy golf
13:18Great
13:19I'm hopeless at golf
13:20Spending your pennies
13:21At the arcades
13:22In fact, I've never done it
13:23Yeah
13:24And
13:25Oh my god
13:26Trying to win big at bingo
13:28Yay
13:30We need to think whole stuff
13:31They are not remotely like the activities that I'm used to on holiday
13:36Can't wait to see their reactions when we do all of the activities to be honest
13:39Bingo and arcades though
13:40Yeah, I'm well happy about that someday
13:42Yeah
13:43Ready for it?
13:44Ready as we'll ever be
13:45Let's get going then
13:48On their holidays
13:49Jackie and Martine splashed the cash on extreme sports like water skiing or abseiling
13:54I think the arcades will be over here on the pier guys
13:57Can they get the same thrill from Western's bargain basement entertainment?
14:02I mean what more could you want on a caravan holiday?
14:04I mean this is one of our bread and butter activities that we like to do on trips like this
14:08Kelly and Louie allow five pounds each for the arcades
14:12Four
14:13Five
14:14Five
14:15But upmarket Martine's more used to the feel of fifty pound notes
14:20That's it!
14:21Yeah!
14:22Can Kelly convince her you can have fun on a Fiver
14:26What does this mean Kelly?
14:28Well have you got tickets?
14:29Yeah
14:30So at the end there's a little shop that you can buy things with the amount of tickets you've won
14:34Okay
14:35Pop a pound in there
14:36And then just tap the button
14:38What do I win?
14:39I think it's tickets
14:40Oh you've got loads coming down
14:41Look!
14:42Martine!
14:43But businesswoman Martine's used to a higher return on her investment
14:48I think you're barking there
14:50This is rubbish
14:52Five quid, two left
14:54I think it's all a common
14:56So I've got 62
14:57I've got 41
14:58I'll let there's a whoopee cushion
14:59How much is that?
15:01400 tickets
15:02Good God!
15:03In total they've all spent just 20 pounds
15:06So was it worth it?
15:08I can honestly say I don't think I'd do it again
15:11It's hardly a winning start
15:14Can a cholesterol clogging doughnut sweeten things up?
15:17Are you joking?
15:18No
15:19Hand made doughnuts
15:21Happy lunch
15:22Fatty snacks aren't the usual holiday cuisine for foodie Martine
15:26When you guys do this you can always find something that you like to eat
15:30All the time
15:31Yeah
15:32There's a sort of health aspect of eating fish and chips, burger
15:35Well we do obviously cook indoors as well
15:37We'll do like spag bol
15:39I think I'm keen to show them there is other foods rather than pizza, burger
15:45Do you cook healthy food at home?
15:47I tend to eat whatever my mum or my dad cooks me in the evenings
15:50Okay
15:51So you look at your parents?
15:52I do
15:53Please tell me you do your own washing
15:54No comment
15:56When Louis comes on our holiday it may inspire him to be a bit more independent and to get his own place
16:05The sugary snack hasn't hit the spot for Jackie and Martine's discerning tastes
16:11So they're hijacking the holiday and seeking out some healthier food
16:15So you don't like shellfish?
16:16No
16:17No I don't even like the smell of it
16:19Oh my god
16:20Me and Kelly just looked at each other and thought why are we even here
16:23And it's to hell with the budget Jackie and Martine have blown 15 quid on three oysters and a pot of crayfish
16:31I might need a bucket
16:33It's a first for Kelly
16:36And swallow
16:38Just swallow
16:39Yes girl well done
16:41I haven't swallowed it yet
16:42Have you not?
16:43No
16:44I'm gonna be sick
16:45I've never seen that reaction before
16:47No
16:48I mean poor Kelly I thought she was gonna burst out crying
16:52I don't wanna do this
16:53Can I have a slow bit please?
16:55I'm gonna be sick
16:57It was the most awful thing I've ever done in my life
17:01Today I had a laugh about it
17:03I think a laugh at my expense more than anything
17:05Suck
17:06Suck
17:07Suck
17:08Suck
17:09It was just horrendous
17:12Never again
17:13You do know that you're on our holiday
17:15Yes
17:16This is not my idea of fun
17:22Let's go
17:23Let's go
17:24Enjoy some bingo
17:25Wow
17:26There's one last chance for the day to pick up
17:28With a budget pastime enjoyed by millions of Brits
17:32Hi guys
17:33Hi guys
17:34So bingo
17:35Oh my god
17:36Martine and I have never played bingo before
17:38As for Kelly
17:39The seafood adventure left her feeling green around the gills
17:43Bit of a disappointment in one for me
17:45I haven't been feeling too great
17:47She's staying in and leaving bingo fanatic Louie to get the low-cost holiday back on track
17:53So what happens if you get a line?
17:55You get a shirt, you get a house, bingo
17:57And then what does that mean?
17:58It means you with money
17:59Yeah
18:00At just a pound a game
18:01See y'all keep your voice down for a minute
18:03It's the cheapest night of the ladies' lives
18:06It's very quiet
18:08How can I see that?
18:09Really quiet
18:10I'll just tell you
18:11Playing
18:12Don't go five feet
18:13Who are we clapping?
18:14Well done
18:15They just got a jackpot win
18:16A thousand pound
18:17They just won
18:18Now we are on to your main event
18:20One and eight and ten
18:23Wait, what, what, what
18:24One and four
18:25Two and one twenty-one
18:28Two and one twenty-one
18:29Three and two fifty-one
18:31Paid by yourself, Lorraine
18:35I have no idea what's going on
18:38Four and three
18:39We haven't followed that at all
18:40Seven and three
18:41Seven and three
18:42Seven and three
18:43Come on, come on, come on
18:44Three by yourself
18:45Number three
18:46Six and six
18:48I think they did think it was going to be easy, yeah
18:51Three and six
18:52Three and six
18:53But I think they're enjoying it
18:55One and six and seven
18:56Three
18:57Oh
18:58Hang on, I thought you said it was a line
19:00No, it's a full house
19:01Bingo was a pound
19:06That was a pound's worth of laughing all night
19:10Money well spent
19:12After another night in the caravan
19:15And when I put my makeup on
19:17I do look my age
19:19I can't be having this
19:21No
19:22For minted Martine
19:23The no-frills accommodation is beginning to grate
19:26There's no tea strainer
19:27There's nothing
19:28Absolutely
19:29Zero
19:30There's no a la carte breakfast either
19:33Morning
19:34Hello
19:35Just a delivery of some greasy fry-up ingredients from Kelly and Louie
19:39Did this come out on the budget?
19:40It did
19:41It did
19:42As foodie Martine serves it up
19:44She can't help sneaking in a healthy option
19:47What's that?
19:48That's healthy
19:49Seeded bread
19:50What do you think?
19:55Not bad
19:56Not bad?
19:57Not bad
19:58Yay, well well done for showing it
19:59At three pounds a loaf
20:00Organic seeded bread would never make it onto Kelly or Louie's shopping list
20:04What do you actually do, Kelly?
20:06Kelly
20:07So I work as a home operator within the travel industry
20:11Yeah
20:12Nice
20:13And I also volunteer TA at a junior school
20:15Oh really?
20:16That's fantastic
20:17Obviously I haven't got thousands and thousands in the bank
20:20It was a very, very good level to realise that actually people are struggling in life
20:26What do you two ladies do?
20:28What do we do?
20:29Mmm
20:30What don't we do?
20:31I teach dance
20:32Amazing
20:33Martine and I, our passion is dance
20:35We were in a dance group years ago in the 70s called The Young Generation
20:38Wow
20:39And I renovate properties
20:40And I've done, in the last 18 years I've done 18 properties
20:44It does make us jealous definitely
20:46But it does make us feel like what could be in a way
20:50I'll take my hat's off to him
20:52Today is a classic seaside activity
20:56Race you in
20:57One of Kelly and Louie's favourites
21:01Oh my god
21:03Oh my
21:06Their reaction was priceless when they walked in
21:08I don't think they've ever seen anything like it
21:10This indoor UV experience is a far cry from the world class resorts the ladies are used to
21:16Here a club and fluorescent ball is just six quid a pop
21:20Right guys, we've got a school card here
21:22But have a go Jackie and Martine rarely refuse a challenge
21:27Tiger Woods
21:28Eat your heart out
21:29Eat your heart out
21:33Martine look, this side
21:34Look at this
21:35Oh
21:37Oh
21:39They embraced it, they gave it a go and we had a really good time
21:44You'll never beat me Louie
21:46Yes
21:47You know you've got to try all these things and I just thought it was great
21:50Oh
21:51Oh
21:52Woohoo
21:54You know what, they're fun
21:56They are
21:57That makes all the difference
21:59Yes
22:00It's the last day of the budget holiday
22:05Look how beautiful this is
22:07Absolutely stunning
22:08How have Jackie and Martine got on with their 120 pound half of the budget?
22:15So ladies, what do we have left?
22:18We have 19 pounds and 75 pence
22:22Oh, some change then
22:24What about you guys?
22:25We have got 32
22:27Oh wow
22:28Yeah, so
22:29Money's spare
22:30Money's spare
22:31So guys, what did you think of the holiday?
22:33Well, not what we were expecting in terms of actually it was really nice
22:38Oh good
22:39The most challenging thing has been to get sort of healthy bits of food for us
22:42So you won't be doing a microwave lasagna again?
22:44Definitely not
22:45Definitely not
22:47Next, all change as the couples prepare for the luxury holiday
22:52But first time to find out the cost of their budget break
22:56The total bill for your holiday is 625 pounds
23:02Wow, that's really cheap
23:04It's a similar price to one ski lift pass
23:07Wow
23:08That's without like sort of your hotel and things like that
23:11Oh yeah
23:12That does not include anything
23:14Just wow basically
23:16Me and Kelly just wanted to curl up in a ball and hide
23:18It was just baffling
23:20It's definitely shown them that
23:23You can do more with less
23:25The budget side of the break is over
23:27And they're about to discover where they'll be jetting off to on their luxury break
23:33Shall we find out?
23:34Oh yes
23:35Where we're going to
23:36This is it
23:37Do it here
23:38Come on
23:39You are going to Northern Italy
23:42Oh my god
23:43To live the high life in a majestic castle
23:45No
23:46Oh my god
23:47Wow
23:48The holiday makers are heading to the Veneto region of Northern Italy
23:53Where they'll explore the floating city of Venice
23:57And experience breathtaking adrenaline fueled activities in the Prosecco hills
24:03Staying in the Hotel Castle Brando
24:06One of the oldest in Europe
24:08With world-class food
24:10And a spa to match
24:11They will holiday in the lap of luxury
24:14I might get to go on the gondola
24:17Hopefully you will
24:19I've never stayed in the castle
24:20I'm going to be king of the castle by the end of it
24:22You're not posh enough for a castle
24:26Coming up
24:27Wow
24:28Look at this
24:29I've got goosebumps now
24:30I've walked in here
24:31Kelly and Louis find out how the other half holiday
24:34This probably is the most beautiful palace in Venice
24:38But does it float their boat?
24:40Get me off
24:41Get me off
24:42Oh my god
24:43Boring
24:51Cheers
24:52Two cultured globetrotters
24:54I'm a real foodie
24:55If it looks good and it tastes good
24:57I really don't mind how much it costs
24:59Have been on a budget seaside holiday
25:01Are you joking?
25:02No
25:03Hand-made donuts
25:04One of them
25:05Now it's their turn to show two cash-strap bezies
25:08Martine
25:09How to holiday in style
25:11You are going to Northern Italy
25:15To live the high life in a majestic castle
25:19I've never stayed in the castle
25:20You're not posh enough for a castle
25:22You're not posh enough for a castle
25:26The holidaymakers are on their way to Northern Italy
25:30This is much better than Western Superman
25:32Very, very, very scenic
25:35Arriving at this exclusive hotspot is like coming home for Martine
25:39You were here a few weeks ago
25:40You were here a few weeks ago
25:41I was here a few weeks ago
25:42I can't believe it
25:43Skiing
25:44Right in those mountains up there
25:46Going up and up and up
25:47Look
25:48Wow
25:49Oh my gosh
25:50Proper castle entrance there
25:52Mamma mia
25:53This is luxurious
25:55Hey guys
25:56Hello
25:57Hello
25:58What do you think?
25:59Do you think this will do?
26:00It is stunning, isn't it?
26:01Bonjour
26:02Hello
26:03Hello
26:04Wow, look at this
26:05The couples are welcomed into our hotel
26:08Look at them stairs, Kelly, look
26:10How beautiful is that?
26:12Fit for a king
26:14It's just something else, isn't it?
26:16Quite emotional
26:17There might be some tears shed
26:19You shed away, my darling
26:23Kelly and Louis are in a £250 a night hotel suite
26:28Wow
26:29Amazing
26:30Wow
26:31It is perfectly conserved in the style of the castle
26:35Stunning
26:36I don't
26:37Are you blown away?
26:38I don't think I have any words
26:39Aww
26:41I could see a bit of a tear in Kelly's eye
26:44It was overwhelming for her to see such splendour
26:49And on a luxury holiday
26:51This is the mini bar
26:52Aww
26:54Kits Kats
26:56The fridge is filled for you
26:58What else have we got?
26:59Peanuts
27:00Really?
27:01You've got this gorgeous room
27:02You've got this amazing place
27:03You've got a Murano glass chandelier
27:05And you're looking at the peanuts
27:07Peanuts
27:09Okay
27:10On the rich side of the holiday
27:11Kelly and Louis will be taking part in Jackie and Martine's type of activities
27:16Woo
27:17So what can money buy?
27:19Luxurating in this spa
27:21Oh
27:22Private tour of the wonders of Venice
27:25Sampling the local tipple
27:26I think I might actually die
27:28There's a gondola ride
27:29You've got what you wanted
27:30The gondola ride
27:31It's a lot different to arcades, isn't it?
27:34We are looking forward to what Venice has got to offer
27:36And we're just going to embrace every moment of it, aren't we?
27:38Yeah
27:39After being in a caravan
27:40This is very different
27:42Yeah, Western supermare
27:44Northern Italy
27:45Hmm
27:46Let me see now
27:47It's the first morning of the luxury holiday
27:51Oh my god, I found gondolas
27:53Bye!
27:55For this part of the week
27:57There is no budget to hold them back
27:59They're beautiful, aren't they?
28:00Yeah
28:01They're exploring Venice with a private gondola ride
28:05At 250 quid, it's one of the most expensive ways to see the city
28:10So, don't worry guys, I'm not crazy
28:15I do this because it's a blind corner
28:18The reflection of the water on the bridge
28:21Hmm
28:22So do you think you'd ever come back here?
28:24Yeah, definitely
28:25Yeah, I think so, definitely
28:27Definitely amazing, wasn't it?
28:29And Sebastian who took us on the gondola was amazing
28:31We could ask him any questions and he would sort of explain it
28:34But what starts out well
28:36This probably is the most beautiful palace in Venice
28:40Oh
28:41Turns wobbly with the waves
28:43It's making me panic every time
28:45Because it goes
28:46The problem is it goes really far, didn't it, to one side
28:49Literally like that
28:51Takes you to one side
28:55As the boat starts to rock, it all gets too much for Kelly
28:59Get me off, get me off, get me off, get me off
29:01Oh my god, get me off
29:02I need to get up there
29:05I think when I go to bed, close my eyes, I'll probably still be swaying
29:08But, yeah
29:10It's Jackie and Martine's turn to decide where to eat
29:13And the two foodies are craving a freshly cooked Italian meal
29:19Oh, no, no, please god, no pubs, no
29:22Listen, you're in Venice
29:24On their budget break, Kelly tried seafood for the first time
29:28With mixed results
29:32I'm gonna be sick
29:34Now, Jackie and Martine have brought them to a Venetian restaurant loaded with, yeah, seafood
29:42Are you ready to order?
29:44There's not much here, I would like to eat, to be honest
29:46Really?
29:47Yeah
29:48Well, Kelly, we're not gonna eat here, are we?
29:49Don't tell me, you're gonna get a burger
29:50Please
29:51Please
29:52We will let you know
29:53Have a wonderful time, ladies
29:54Listen, you guys
29:55Avivatechi
29:56Quick
29:57I can't believe this
29:58He wants a burger
29:59Do you know what?
30:00I wouldn't put it past them to bring it back here
30:01I was not eating any more seafood
30:03Yeah, I'm not eating no seafood
30:05In a city bursting with culinary excellence, the fast food fans only want one thing
30:11A burger meal deal with a side of chicken nuggets
30:14Oh my god
30:16They came back with a bag
30:18With trashy, fast American food
30:21Oh no
30:22You've got two
30:23You've got two
30:24Just one
30:25At least one
30:26And the trashy takeout comes with a side of sweet revenge
30:29These are a local delicacy
30:31So you have to try at least one
30:32We had the seafood
30:33If you spit it out, you spit it out
30:35It's not actually that bad
30:37Well, well, well
30:39Martine, I've got some hope for you
30:41Come on
30:42That is wild
30:45Oh, well
30:46I'm actually highly disappointed in the pair of you
30:49Coming all this way to Italy
30:51And then going off and having a burger
30:53It is a shame
30:54I mean, all we had got them to try was a chicken nugget
30:57And you would have thought that we'd put cat litter in their mouths
31:03Jackie and Martine love nothing more than getting a personalized tour of the city
31:08Hello
31:09Hi
31:10Nice to meet you
31:11For me, that's part of the holiday
31:13The cultural side
31:14Learning about the place that you're walking around
31:16At a cost of 320 pounds
31:19It's not an activity Kelly and Louie would ever spend their hard-earned cash on
31:24Here you can see enjoy the view of the bridge of size
31:27It's a political overpass
31:29It's not a real bridge
31:30Boring
31:32Boring
31:33Yeah
31:34This is the very famous place where Marco Polo, the famous traveller, used to live
31:41Here, just here
31:42See?
31:43All this area
31:44Even in Venice's world-renowned landmark
31:47So here we are in San Marcos Square
31:49So here we are in San Marcos Square
31:50Kelly and Louie are easily distracted
31:52You need to get one of them hoodies
31:53Look, they've got more there
31:54Yeah, no, and pick ones as well
31:55They're well nice
31:56Yeah, luck of adventure I suppose
31:57Whatever you want to call it
31:58Oh!
31:59They've disappeared
32:00Unbelievable
32:01This gorgeous guide of ours was telling them, you know, about the history of the square
32:17And it's something that they'll possibly never see again
32:20Look, they've even got gondolas on them
32:23Jackie and Martine continue on their own
32:26Touch the belly
32:28Touch the belly
32:29We say rub the belly for some more luck
32:31Oh, it's very smooth
32:33Shall we go here?
32:34For Kelly and Louie, a much-needed sit-down
32:37A soft drink is 16 euros
32:39Is that how much it is?
32:41Astonishing and gobsmacked is the words I'm going to use for that
32:44Disgusting
32:45I want a glass of Dom Perignon
32:47Oh, yeah
32:48It's 500 euros
32:49The money that you spend on certain things here
32:52Is like a 3-4 day holiday for us, isn't it?
32:55and we have fun yeah to put a smile back on their young friends faces so here's a little
33:01blast of the song jackie suggests the group sing-along to her upbeat sans-tropé single
33:07i mean she chose the right time to drop it didn't she so um yeah
33:16me and kelly weren't very impressed bless her
33:22it was it was it was cheesy but what i really want to do is a venice remix i'll sing it you be my
33:41back yes exactly get ready come on music we're here today just don't get in our way because
33:48we're flying high and we want to say that venice is really cool
33:55next on the holiday itinerary an authentic italian experience designed to tickle the taste buds
34:13they're booked for a private prosecco tasting costing 100 pounds nearly a month's worth of
34:20disposable income for kelly we are starting now with a brief introduction during which i will
34:26tell you something general it's perfect for wine connoisseurs jackie and martin let's start with
34:33the sensory analysis the wine is completely clear and transparent with no solid molecules in suspension
34:40i was bored i was bored when she started the wine tasting chat so what do you smell grapes
34:47that's the basic answer but kelly prefers a more practical approach
34:55what about the taste test what about the taste
34:59it tastes like rust
35:04which kind of fruit can you smell it's lemon smell yeah berries grapefruit yeah bits of primrose like
35:14it's that sort of great for us to avoid our opinion was a bit of a struggle in there it's not nearly as
35:20strong the aroma as as those two that's true yeah as wine buffs jackie and martin savor the experience
35:27no frills kelly and louis check out me and kelly just felt like yeah you're the poor ones you can
35:33be quiet and ask rich ones talk we're just over doing our own thing i mean it's a bit disconcerting
35:40when they were talking and and the lady was trying to disrespectful i think is the word you're looking
35:45for her you know poor woman i'm here for the cheese you're either interested in that kind of stuff
35:51or you're not and that's it they were bloody rude
35:56for kelly and louis the rich activities aren't hitting the right notes can a dip in the hotel's
36:02luxury spa pool help them relax into the holiday high life look at that view beautiful
36:09louis and kelly could never afford this luxury but as guests of the hotel it comes as standard
36:15oh this is nice don't you mean oh this is deluxe yes this is the life it was definitely a moment to
36:25treasure yeah never got the chance to do anything like that before and i probably won't get the
36:28chance to do it again coming up the dizzy heights of the rich holiday hang on hang on hang on i really
36:40don't think i can do that push some of the group to the edge what am i doing and the final dinner
36:48oh my god brings food for thought that is five months worth of wages to me for this summer

37:37with a private guide costing 330 pounds welcome in dolomites are you ready yeah let's go jackie and
37:45martine are old hands but can they inspire their cautious young friends to embrace their sense of
37:51adventure kelly you sure you don't want to do it yeah a hand injury has put kelly out of action
38:00unfortunate but it happens so louis steps up for team budget to take on the unforgiving mountain range
38:10attention it's really slippery here
38:14the
38:24things are about to get trickier

41:00you look lovely the pair of you
41:02so do you guys thank you very much
41:04tonight in true rich holiday style they're dining at the hotel's 70 pounds a head restaurant
41:10but how much is the whole holiday come in at i don't know if i want to look at this no
41:18oh my god
41:19eight thousand one hundred and eighteen pounds
41:24i'll be honest
41:27it's not what i would expect for the money that's been spent that is five months worth of wages to
41:34me for this summer an obscene amount of money for a holiday i must say okay astonishing wasn't it
41:39i wouldn't pay that sort of money for a trip like this
41:41with both holidays out of the way it's a chance for the couples to reflect on their experience
41:47so what do you think you guys have learned while going on a budget holiday that you can have
41:52fun oh yeah and you can do things cheaply yeah i'm not 100 with the food yeah okay that's fair
41:58enough but kelly has a few things to get off her chest i hate that you made me touch seafood
42:04how about that oh i hate that i hate the seafood yeah other stuff be honest the vineyards i didn't
42:11like the facts how you were overpowering kelly totally get that yeah yeah i mean you probably
42:17should have actually just turned around and said i hate you two shut up i think it's because it's
42:21something you guys know a lot about there's been there's been a lot of things on the trip where
42:25you've known more than what we would know i'll be completely honest i wouldn't do
