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 pool size!
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
00:57134,000
00:59You could buy my house and landscape my garden
01:02For that!
01:03Will one family's holiday heaven
01:05Give me off, give me off, give me off, give me off
01:06Be another's holiday hell?
01:08Yes, get mashed up!
01:10Absolutely not
01:11This is possibly going to be the worst holiday I've ever been on
01:14Heartfordshire
01:16Home to party pals Gemma and Stacey
01:22Has your camera got a filter?
01:24Who have a thing for fancy dress and inflatables
01:27Party night out!
01:29Absolutely love a karaoke
01:31Love dress up
01:32Love a little drink as well
01:34Little drinky peas
01:36For these 44 year old besties
01:39Nights out are always on the cheap
01:41We're masters of saving money
01:43Once I actually gave a sob story
01:45And what was going on in my life
01:46And I got a free bottle of champagne
01:48Oh!
01:51Friends since school
01:52Nothing is off the table for these single mums
01:57We feel like we're reliving our teen years
02:00Reliving our youth 100%
02:01Yeah
02:02Because we were quite young when we had our kids
02:04Yeah
02:05We both didn't go out for years did we?
02:07No
02:08With six kids between them
02:11Both Gemma and Stacey scrape by on Universal Credit
02:14I do feel like people look down their nose at people on benefits
02:19But like sometimes we can't even afford a tin of beans
02:22With a little over a grand a month to cover rent, bills and food
02:26Disposal income is a pipe dream
02:29The prices of gas, electric food, water
02:32Everything's gone up
02:33Is making us struggle
02:34I don't have anything left over
02:36Gemma, a cleaner, has been signed off with health issues
02:40I am desperate to go back to work
02:42I don't like the thought of people thinking that I'm poncing
02:46While Stacey has a hands full homeschooling her youngest
02:50My eight year old daughter Evie
02:52She has some special needs
02:54So I've had to give up my job to care for her
02:57When it comes to holidays
03:00A bargain bucket break to Brighton or Benidorm is all they can stretch to
03:04Oh, the shower caps
03:06That was the best
03:07That was a great day
03:08We love a chippy on the beach
03:11A few little cans
03:13Love a swim
03:14Love a little water slide as well
03:16A luxury break is out of reach
03:18But the friends can dream
03:20Somewhere in Greece, turquoise waters
03:24Yeah, beautiful
03:25But high-end holidaying with rich strangers does hold some fear
03:31I don't think we're fitting in a posh place
03:33Just because we're quite commonly spoke
03:36And the food might not be for us
03:39I just don't like fish
03:40I like cod and batter
03:41And I like a fish finger
03:43But I don't like a fishy fish
03:46Straight-laced people wouldn't get us
03:48If our travel companions are boring
03:50They won't be by the time they come up
03:52Yeah, absolutely
03:53Well, show them what it's like to let you in
03:54Yeah, they ain't gonna wanna go back to their rich life
03:57970 miles away in Barcelona
04:04Live 30-somethings James and Isabella
04:07They're two years into a whirlwind romance
04:11I was crossing the street
04:14And he was crossing the opposite direction
04:17And then he stopped me in the middle of the street
04:19And asked me out for a coffee
04:20I knew from the first day that he was
04:22A person that I wanted to have in my life
04:24And she's hot
04:27Charmer James is a super yacht broker
04:30A jet-set job that sees the cash rolling in
04:33I have lots of different clients come to me
04:35Who want to spend a hell of a lot of money
04:37They can be chartering yachts
04:38Which are the value of two million pounds a week
04:40While Brazilian Isabella makes her mint as a family lawyer
04:44I do divorces and child support
04:46And the next year you get, the more money I get
04:50They work hard, but spend harder
04:52I do like Ralph Lauren's hats
04:54I have a rather large collection of those
04:56From designer gear
04:58To fancy food
05:00I prefer way more just to have a nice dinner
05:03With a nice glass of wine
05:04Thank you love
05:05Having gastronomical experiences for me is very important
05:09But their biggest splurge is on luxury travel
05:13We go to the best places pretty much
05:15With the most luxurious hotels
05:17In two years they've had 29 holidays
05:20And happily dropped 12 grand on a single trip
05:24Iceland was the most expensive
05:27Because we rented a cabin
05:30With a private hot tub
05:32To watch the modern lights
05:33It's about exclusivity
05:35Personal hell for me on holiday
05:37Would definitely be a bar
05:38Or a loud nightclub
05:39With lots and lots of drunk people
05:43So, why are they willing to sacrifice
05:45Five star exclusivity for a budget break?
05:48So, it's a big opportunity to expand my horizons
05:51And learning something new
05:52I think that everybody you meet in life
05:54You can learn something
05:55So, I'm very much looking forward to it
05:58Be careful what you wish for
06:00It's the moment of truth
06:04The pairs will be spending a week together
06:07In the same country
06:08But on two very different trips
06:10So curious
06:11The first holiday to be put to the test
06:13A cheap as chips
06:15Gemma and Stacey style break
06:17Are you ready?
06:18Yes
06:19We're going to Zanti
06:21The Greece, no way!
06:23First stop
06:24A budget break in a basic apartment
06:26Next to the vibrant Zanti Strip
06:28Famous for its bars, clubs
06:30And partying
06:31Brits abroad
06:36Okay then
06:37In the Ionian Sea
06:39To see Zanti
06:40Is an island of two halves
06:42From deserted beaches
06:43And exclusive resorts
06:45To a boozy budget holiday hotspot
06:48Every summer
06:49Millions of Brits
06:50Flock to its southern shores
06:51To tan by day
06:53And get tanked up by night
06:56For the first half of the week
06:57The pairs are heading to the party capital
06:59Laganas
07:00And staying in the basic apartment
07:02With uninterrupted views
07:05Of the Strip
07:06Yay!
07:07It's Zanti
07:08Here we go
07:09Woo!
07:10Let's have it!
07:11Brilliant
07:12I'm so happy
07:13I've always wanted to go Zanti
07:15It's day one
07:17Let's get packing then
07:18Well, I know what I'm bringing
07:20Shirts
07:22I don't actually have anything to go partying
07:24Packing for the island's vibrant nightlife
07:27Might be posing a problem for Isabella
07:29I've got all the essentials
07:31I've got the willy straws
07:32Of course
07:33For me and Gem
07:34But Staci and Gemma have no such worries
07:37I've got my handcuffs
07:38I've got my police uniform already
07:40I've got my police uniform already
07:44It's a three and a half hour flight to Laganas
07:47Oh, oh, oh
07:49Hello Zanti
07:50BJ's
07:51Woo
07:52Wonder what you're getting there
07:55We're in the perfect place by the looks of it
07:58Yeah
07:59Looks amazing
08:00Oh, wow
08:01This is quite something
08:03Definitely not our jam
08:04Jet-setting James and Isabella
08:06Are more used to the northern lights
08:08Than neon lights
08:09Club after club after club
08:11Oh, dearie me
08:13The pairs are meeting for the first time
08:16At their low-cost self-catering accommodation
08:19God, it's gonna make my shoes dirty
08:22I want my nice espadrilles
08:24After checking into their no-fills first-floor apartments
08:31Oh, is it that bad, love?
08:33It stinks
08:37What?
08:38That is disgusting
08:41Look at the tiles
08:43Look, look
08:44Mate
08:45There's nothing good about this place
08:47It's a far cry from five-star Iceland
08:50That's like lying on a piece of wood
08:52Aww
08:53This is way out of our comfort zone, isn't it?
08:56Wow, I believe this is way out of anybody's comfort zone
09:00Yeah, this is absolutely perfect
09:03As for Gemma and Stacey
09:05Yeah, this is fun
09:07I love it
09:08Happy days
09:09Is your bed comfy?
09:11Yeah
09:12Bit odd
09:13But it'll do
09:14I think it's lovely in here
09:16We've got everything we need
09:17So I'm more than happy
09:18This is definitely not a place where they would like to be
09:21Not classy
09:22Can we even stay here?
09:23I don't even know
09:24I'm not sure
09:25James and Isabella are already thinking about throwing in the towel
09:30And that's before they've even met their holiday companions
09:33I'm really nervous now
09:35I'm actually nervous
09:37It's crunch time
09:39Hey
09:40Hi
09:41Nice to meet you, James
09:43I'm Gemma
09:44Hi, I'm Isabella
09:45Oh my god
09:46They do look really posh
09:48Their clothes
09:49They look expensive
09:50And me and Stacey have literally rocked up today
09:53Matching TikTok outfits
09:55So
09:56We've both been in Barcelona
09:58Yeah, we've been there for about eight years
09:59Oh, lovely
10:00Oh, lovely
10:01Not jealous at all
10:04Stacey and Gemma
10:05Interesting characters
10:06Probably not our type of people
10:08Niceties out of the way
10:10It's time for a proper grilling
10:12So how well off are you guys then?
10:14You're all really, really well off, I take it
10:16Quite direct
10:19I didn't know what to think
10:21James and Isabella were really shocked
10:25I would have probably been a bit more so
10:27I'm a lawyer
10:28Lovely
10:29I work with family law
10:30So divorce
10:31Child support
10:32Oh, okay
10:33This kind of thing
10:34And I'm a yacht broker
10:35Oh
10:36So I sell and charter yachts
10:38Oh, lovely
10:39Throughout the world
10:40So how much do you have a month, say
10:43To spare and dispose of
10:47And do whatever you like with?
10:49I would say
10:50Probably around $4,000 or $5,000 or something
10:53Wow
10:54I was absolutely copsmacked by that
10:57Like, £5,000 is like five months benefit money for us
11:01Are we, what you thought we was going to be like?
11:04Honestly, yeah, we were expected for 19, 20 year olds
11:07Oh, no
11:08I'd go partying and want to be out till late hours in the night
11:11Okay
11:12That's not really us, if we're honest
11:14You have definitely got a party Gemma and Stacey style, I'm afraid
11:17We like to let our hair down, meet people
11:20Yeah
11:21Socialise, have fun
11:22I'm not really sure about that
11:24Don't really like being told what I can and can't do
11:27I think I can count on my fingers how many times I went to a club
11:30Oh, okay
11:32I think we're probably going to clash a little bit with the lifestyle of Gemma and Stacey
11:36They are going to think that we are boring and we think they are too loud
11:39It's not just Gemma and Stacey's partying that could be problematic
11:44Both pairs will also be surviving on the besties usual holiday budget
11:4855, 75, 95, 115
11:55Each pair is just 135 euros to cover food and activities
12:00It's more or less what we spend in one dinner on average when we go for the holidays
12:05On one dinner
12:06Yeah
12:07Wow
12:08I don't think James and Isabella are going to cope very well with the budget at all
12:14So you are going to embrace this holiday and party Gemma and Stacey style, what do you think?
12:22This is possibly going to be one of the worst holidays I've ever been on
12:26Coming up
12:28Go
12:29James and Isabella get a crash course in budget holidays
12:32Yeah, that's definitely not my scene
12:34But will they go the distance?
12:35Let's get mashed off
12:37Absolutely not, time to go
12:39We didn't even get a goodbye
12:41Sodom
12:42A pair of hard-up party pals
12:53Here we go
12:55Let's have it
12:56Are showing a jet-setting couple
12:58That is disgusting, mate
13:00How to holiday on the cheap
13:02It's more or less what we spend in one dinner
13:04Wow
13:05But it's off to a rocky start
13:07Ah
13:08This is possibly going to be one of the worst holidays I've ever been on
13:12It's the first morning in Zante
13:16And Gemma and Stacey are already eating the strip
13:19Oh
13:20They're doing English
13:21Oh, this looks alright
13:22Cheap and cheerful
13:23In search of grub
13:25Oh, morning
13:26Can we have four full English breakfasts, please?
13:30With just 135 euros per pair for the first half of the week
13:35The girls are ordering for James and Isabella to show them the budgeting robes
13:39And then can we have two cans of Coke, but with four glasses?
13:42There you go
13:43That'll be it, thank you
13:44Thank you
13:45Thank you very much
13:46Hey
13:47How's it going?
13:49We have ordered for you, we hope that's alright
13:51Okay
13:52We're going to share a can of Coke as well
13:54Two glass of us, two cans of Coke
13:56Ah, they ordered Coke for breakfast, like
13:59What does that?
14:00James and Isabella were horrified
14:02But sharing the cans
14:04These are the kind of things we do to save money on a budget
14:07Thank you
14:09Thank you
14:10It's not just cheap brekkies they'll have to get used to
14:13The activities will be budget too
14:15So what's in store?
14:17Oh no
14:18Oh no
14:19A bikini brunch pool party
14:20I think we might be hiding in the corner
14:24I'm a little bit nervous because this is not my scene
14:27A day out of the water park
14:28Do you like water slides?
14:29Do you like water slides?
14:31Okay
14:32In the background, this is Zanty Strip
14:35Oh no
14:36Hooray
14:37Zanty Strip, my idea of hell, it's just not for me
14:41Not the normal breakfast for us, is it?
14:44More like a toast and some cheese and some salmon, avocado
14:48Don't think it's up their street at all
14:50English breakfast is not my thing
14:53Not healthy
14:54It's quite expensive to eat healthy though, that's what we were saying, weren't we?
14:58Yeah
14:59Yeah, and so how much would you spend then on a weekly shop?
15:02I get sort of £1,000 a month off of universal credit
15:06And out of that has to come the rent
15:09And then the gas and electric
15:10Council tax and water
15:11Council tax and water
15:12We're normally left with around about £50 a week for food
15:16Yeah
15:17Wow
15:18That's very impressive that I can manage that
15:21It's not an easy life for Dan
15:24Time to settle up
15:26A total of €48 for all four
15:29We're on not a budget for our holiday
15:31If we could just have it a nice round €40
15:35Deal
15:36€40 please
15:37You can, thank you
15:38Thank you
15:39Thank you
15:40The haggling bit got me
15:41Having to watch the pennies
15:42It's not something we're used to
15:43We're usually to spend without much concern
15:46And yeah, that one did hit home
15:48Back at the apartment block
15:50The pairs are gearing up for the bikini brunch
15:53What do you think?
15:54You look great
15:55They look good?
15:56Yeah
15:57More used to champagne yacht parties
15:58James and Isabella have opted for stylish elegance
16:02Have some cuffs, I've got cuffs
16:05While Gemma and Stacey have gone with cheeky copper and saucy sailor
16:09Yes
16:10We're rocking it
16:11Woo woo
16:12Let's have it
16:13Hey
16:14Hey
16:15Their outfits were ridiculous
16:17I really wondered what the hell we were getting ourselves into
16:20Time to hit the pool
16:22Hiya
16:23Hi
16:24Oh no
16:25Hello
16:26Yes please
16:27Gemma
16:28No
16:29Oh
16:30Oh, thank you very much
16:31Once we got to the pool party they already offered us a shot
16:34Cheers
16:35Cheers guys
16:36This is not my scene
16:39My biggest fear just came through
16:44You what?
16:45Yeah
16:46No
16:47It's chaos
16:48The music was so loud
16:49That's not my idea of a day in the pool
16:51But at 30 quid each it's a bargain day out
16:56With DJs dropping beats in the heat
16:58A refreshing pool
17:02Swim up far?
17:03Never done one of them
17:05And a bottomless liquid brunch
17:07It's definitely my and Gemma's kind of vibe
17:11Would you like a top?
17:12Actually not
17:13Get me out of this
17:14But it's not going down well with James and Isabella
17:17People flying vodka around everywhere pouring it into each other's mouths
17:21It's pretty rank
17:22It's unhygienic and just not cool
17:24No, I don't share bottles
17:26It's disgusting
17:27It's just disgusting
17:29Isabella and James are a lot older for their age
17:35It did feel a little bit like we was out of our parents
17:41To Gemma and Stacey age is just a number
17:46Big kids, let's be honest
17:49I mean I love their energy but you know
17:51How old are they? 44? 45?
17:54So I love a swimming pool
17:55And I did decide to take a dip
17:57Go James
17:59More use to a private hot tub for two
18:02For Isabella the water is a no-go
18:04No, people are drinking too much
18:06I'm sure nobody's going to the bathroom to relieve themselves
18:09They're just doing this in the water
18:10Like, no, sorry, but no, not for me
18:13Yeah, me and Gemma was a bit spotted
18:15Isabella didn't get in and have a swim with us
18:18So what's the verdict? Party paradise or holiday hell?
18:22It was a little bit cringy for me
18:24And just not my vibe at all
18:26I think it was absolutely worth it
18:28We laughed and we danced and we've had a great day
18:34It's a new day in Laganes
18:36Good morning
18:37Morning
18:38Morning
18:39And there's yet more aquatic thrills in store
18:42It's a firm favourite of the young at heart mums
18:45A day at the water park
18:46I used to love water parks
18:48Not sure if I still do
18:50Is this going to be a day we're going to enjoy?
18:52Hi
18:53Hello
18:54Hello
18:55At £22 each for the whole day
18:58Thank you
18:59Thank you very much
19:00Thank you
19:01It's cheap and cheerful fun in the sun
19:03Is it your kind of thing or?
19:04Not really
19:05Not really
19:06There's kids everywhere
19:07Lots of kids around
19:09Isabella wouldn't set foot in the water at the pool party
19:13So today Gemma and Stacey aren't taking no for an answer
19:17Come on
19:18Come on
19:19It's straight to the big one
19:20Let's just secure the hair
19:22This hair is not going to get wet
19:24Do you guys want to wear one of my showers?
19:27Yeah, I think I've got to secure them
19:29Get it on
19:30Yay
19:31Good day
19:32So is it a race to the bottom guys?
19:34It's a race to the bottom
19:35Right
19:36Two
19:37Three
19:38Go
19:39I don't think I can do that
19:48It was really fun
19:49I love the adrenaline
19:50Although I got my hair wide
19:51It was very very fun
19:53I did have a little bit of a scare on the water
19:56I panicked a little bit
19:59But they all encouraged me to calm down
20:01And I've done it in the end
20:03And I didn't lose my shower cap
20:05Oh
20:06Oh
20:07Oh
20:08Oh
20:09Oh
20:10Oh
20:11Brilliant time
20:12Racing down there
20:13And ending up into the water
20:14Boom
20:15That absolutely made my day
20:18Brilliant
20:19Seeing them two have a good time today
20:21And embracing it
20:22Oh
20:23Oh
20:24Oh
20:25Oh
20:26With the sun setting
20:28It's time for the big night out
20:30On the Laguna Strip
20:32So excited for this
20:34For Gemma and Stacey
20:35It's a chance to really let loose
20:37And forget home hardships
20:39The anti-strip
20:40My idea of hell
20:42And accessorised by Gemma and Stacey
20:45It couldn't be further from James and Isabella's bougie Barcelona date nights
20:51Not my vibe
20:52So bad
20:53I didn't find one single nice place there
20:55Yeah
20:56Not cool
20:57Are we getting into the loft tonight?
20:58Yes
20:59Upstairs
21:00Let's get fucked up
21:01Yeah
21:02100%
21:03Let's get mashed up
21:04Very interesting woman came out with a unicorn on her head
21:07Trying to get us into the bar
21:09Using all sorts of foul language
21:11Absolutely not
21:12Time to go
21:13While Gemma and Stacey head on up
21:15James and Isabella make a sharp exit
21:18Me and Stacey went in
21:21And ordered some drinks
21:23We've only got 10 euros left
21:24And we both want to drink each
21:26And a shot
21:27Yeah
21:28We'll just do it for eight
21:29Yeah
21:30No shows
21:31We didn't even get a goodbye
21:32I'm really disappointed to be honest
21:34I'm actually speechless
21:36Sodom
21:37Cheers girl
21:39We'll do all
21:40All night instead
21:41Cheers
21:42Cheers
21:44As Gemma and Stacey party the night away on the cheap
21:48Hi
21:49Are you ready?
21:50Yes sir
21:51Yes please
21:52So we're gonna have the tzatzik
21:54The cheese pies with honey
21:56Isabella and James are going off menu
21:59Would you like to pay by cash or card?
22:01Card please
22:02And way off budget with a 40 euro take out from their own wallet
22:06I don't care anymore
22:08I want a nice meal
22:09Sorry but we had to cheat tonight
22:11I'm glad we're having a nice dinner together
22:13It's me too
22:14Date night
22:15Honestly
22:16It's probably the best part of the holiday so far
22:21It's the final morning and last activity of the budget holiday
22:25A freebie beach day
22:26But there could be a storm brewing
22:28Quite nervous about seeing Stacey and Gemma this morning
22:32Purely on the basis that we did leave the night a little bit early
22:35Well fancy seeing you here
22:38Still a little bit disappointed in them both
22:41I thought you was gonna try a little bit harder
22:43Oh
22:44I did feel like that
22:45Because it was only for one night out of your life
22:48A bit of a breaking point when the unicorn lady was up in our face
22:52Oh okay
22:53We were quite hungry as well
22:54And we thought
22:55Just wanted a bit of peace
22:56We decided
22:57You know
22:58That we would just sort of slip away
23:00I'm sorry
23:01We come across a really nice Greek restaurant
23:03And I'm sorry girls
23:04But have a bit of a confession to make
23:06We kind of blown the budget by around the 40 euros
23:10Oh guys
23:11A little bit disappointed that they've gone off and spent their own money
23:15Well they could have bought us back takeout
23:17Yeah they could have treated us to a nice meal
23:19Where's my tzatziki?
23:21So you wouldn't actually cope on the budget holiday you don't think?
23:25Technically no
23:26In fact definitely not
23:27No
23:28Well we're just happy you're not too mad with us
23:31No
23:32No definitely not
23:33They were a bit upset
23:34But we cleared the air
23:35Game of volleyball then?
23:36Give it a try
23:37Yeah let's go
23:38Let's do this
23:39And decided to move forward and continue to enjoy the holiday
23:43Gem
23:45Oh shit
23:50The budget part of the break is almost over
23:53But there's time for a quick debrief
23:55So how do you feel about the holiday and on a budget Gemma and Stacey stuff?
24:00It's not something we would do a lot of the things
24:02So the water park, the pool party
24:04But we did our best to get involved
24:06I think sometimes it's good to get out of your bubble
24:09And now perhaps on the next holiday I would put a water park in the middle
24:12Oh that's good because I had a really good time then
24:14I think we've come away feeling like we've learned some good things from you too
24:19And being with your energy, I really love this
24:21Oh that's brilliant, that's good to know
24:23But the million dollar question, how much did it cost?
24:27The total bill for your holidays is 930 pounds
24:33Wow
24:34465 for each pair
24:36Yeah
24:37Wow, you're good girls
24:38Yes
24:39That's what we have to get on with
24:40And we absolutely love what we did
24:42We were pretty shocked to be fair at how cheap actually the holiday was
24:46This has taught me to perhaps maybe think about that a little bit more
24:50Where your money is actually going
24:52I feel like it's humbled them slightly
24:54Now for a huge gear change
24:57It's time to turn the tables
24:59In the envelope is the destination of the luxury holiday a la James and Isabella
25:04A five star, boutique, adults only hotel
25:09That sounds right up your street
25:11On the calm east coast of the island
25:14Where the wealthy guests are treated to serenity, relaxation and exclusive fine dining
25:21I feel like I'm going to cry
25:23The foursome will be diving into the ultimate all expenses paid luxury holiday
25:29At the boutique Contesina Spa Hotel
25:32They'll have exclusive suites with their very own plunge pulls
25:37Just one night here is more than the cost of the whole budget holiday per pair
25:42This sounds absolutely lovely
25:44It sounds like this world I can't even imagine
25:46What that's going to be like
25:48So I feel really emotional
25:50Slightly nervous
25:51But I'm going to get going and see how the other half live now
25:54I'm going to maybe feel a little bit
25:56Out of our comfort
25:57Out of our comfort zone, yeah
25:59We'll take care of you, don't worry
26:00Okay, thank you
26:01And now we're going to enjoy James and Isabella's style
26:04Yeah
26:05Okay
26:06Let's go
26:07Let's do it
26:08Very happy to share this with you guys
26:10Thank you
26:11Thank you
26:12Thanks so much
26:13We've never really given opportunities like this
26:16So it's a bit life changing for us
26:23Coming up
26:24Oh look at it
26:25Stacey and Gemma get their first taste of luxury
26:29Get me a burger
26:30Any day
26:32But will the holiday high life have the girls all at sea?
26:35Do you need a yacht or a boat to me around for 2,000 a day?
26:38Absolutely gobsmacked that people get to just do that when they feel like it
26:42Go!
26:43A jet-setting couple who like the finer things in life
26:53It's definitely not my scene
26:55Have been holidaying on the cheap
26:57Let's get mashed up
26:58Let's get mashed up
26:59Zanti strip
27:00My idea of hell
27:02Now it's their turn to show their cash-strapped companions how to holiday in style
27:08A five-star, boutique, adults-only hotel
27:12I feel like I'm gonna cry
27:13It's a bit life-changing for us
27:17It's the second half of the break
27:19And the pairs have arrived in Silavi
27:21On Zanti's upmarket east coast
27:23Hi there, welcome to Condesina Suites and Spa
27:27Let us give you a helping hand with the luggage
27:29Thank you
27:30Oh, thank you
27:31Thank you so much
27:32Ooh, this is new
27:33Thank you
27:35This is our pool area
27:37Oh, that's lovely
27:38Oh, wow
27:41I've never seen anything like this in my life
27:44For each pair, the ultimate in opulence
27:47A £500 per night double suite
27:49Oh, my God
27:54We've got our own sinks
27:56God
27:59No way
28:00This is saying hell
28:01Oh, my God
28:02Are you joking me?
28:03Oh, my God
28:05I can't believe this
28:08We've got our own plunge pool sets
28:10Is that what they're called?
28:11Yeah
28:12Oh, my God
28:13Wow
28:14With just one night's stay costing nearly as much as both Gemma and Stacey's monthly rent
28:21It's way beyond their normal reach
28:23Oh, this is life
28:25Oh, my
28:27Oh, wow
28:29I can easily get used to this
28:31I can't stop smiling and my face hurts
28:33I've never seen anything like this
28:36It's absolutely beautiful
28:38I do want to see that
28:40Do ye
28:41Well, okay
28:42Do ye
28:43The bed's soft
28:44This is lovely
28:45You'll roll off into the pool though
28:47If you roll
28:48Plop
28:49But it's called a plop pool, isn't it?
28:52Plunge
28:53Oh, it's not a plop pool
28:55Brilliant
28:58Brilliant
28:59The luxury surroundings might be a learning curve for Stacey and Gemma
29:04Ah, much better, hey?
29:05Ah, yeah, that's lovely
29:07That's much more our style
29:08But five-star aficionados James and Isabella are right at home
29:13It's a nice improvement from Les Hotel, right?
29:16Sure is
29:17We cheers to that
29:18Cheers to that
29:19What's going on?
29:21Although it might not be the grown-up retreat they're expecting
29:26Oh my god, they're fully clothed in the pool
29:30They're crazy sometimes
29:32They're still playing Gemma and Stacey rules
29:34I think we need to maybe have a chat with them and just say, you know, what's what?
29:37A little bit of rules, set some things for them
29:40Our style
29:41Quiet
29:42Isabella and James style
29:43Isabella and James style
29:44Isabella and James style
29:46It's a new morning in Sylvain
29:48And to kick off the luxury holiday
29:50James and Isabella have ordered a poolside breakfast for four
29:54Ladies, breakfast is served
29:56Ooh
29:57Room service
29:58Ooh
29:59Room service
30:00Ooh
30:01At 70 quid, it's more than Stacey's monthly council tax
30:05Look at this
30:07Ooh
30:08Oh
30:09I've never had room service before
30:12God, is that something
30:13As well as posh brekkies, Gemma and Stacey will also be taking part in James and Isabella's high-end holiday activities
30:21I'll let you do the honours Gemma
30:24Thank you very much, thank you very much
30:29Fine dining in the hotel's exclusive restaurant
30:32Fish, pates, things like that, it's not up my street
30:36Private's trip to a secluded beach
30:38No way
30:40A relaxing mud mask treatment
30:43Yes
30:44Oh lovely
30:46We do have a few rules
30:47For you girls
30:48Okay
30:49Okay
30:50We all stay calm
30:51And quiet
30:52And just
30:53Relax and enjoy
30:54No fancy dress
30:55On the private yacht
30:57Okay, okay
30:58Deal?
30:59Agreed
31:00A shake on it
31:01We was asked to tone it down a little bit by James and Isabella
31:04It's their world, not ours
31:05And I respect that
31:06First on the luxury holiday to-do list, an afternoon of total rest and relaxation at the hotel spa
31:15It feels posh
31:17Starting with avocado facials
31:19Isabella, this is absolute magic
31:22It is, right?
31:23Oh, lovely
31:24Welcome to my world, Gemma
31:26Yeah, I'm not leaving
31:28With a price tag of 45 quid each, it's just short of Gemma and Stacey's weekly food shops
31:35They can't afford to buy avocados, let alone have them painted all over their face
31:40I've never had a facial in my life
31:43I've never been so relaxed, even my voice changed, I even started talking like this
31:48I was so quiet and innocent
31:50See, I'm even pronouncing my T's right
31:53I'm not missing the Santee strip at this point, this is beautiful
31:58Have you ever had anything like this before?
32:00No, never a facial
32:02The look on their faces, the peace that come over the pair of them, it was priceless
32:06How often do you and Isabella do this sort of thing?
32:09A couple of times a month, to be honest
32:11It's a lot of money, that's like my whole food bill for a month
32:14I'm blown away at the fact that they can just do that as and when they feel like it
32:19But lucky them
32:20To round off the relaxing day, a dinner reservation for four at the hotel's five-star rooftop restaurant
32:28Oh, this is very posh, what do I do with all these?
32:31More use to fish fingers than fine dining
32:34At 55 euros per head, the signature tasting menu is uncharted territory for Stacey and Gemma
32:41I feel like it might be a bit of a bush tucker trial for me
32:45I'm excited about trying different things that I wouldn't usually try
32:50First up, a mussel, fava bean and wild fennel tart
32:54Looks beautiful
32:56Wow, it's really good
32:58It's really nice
33:00Mmm
33:01Yeah
33:02Oh, that is good
33:03Yeah, this one's not really for me
33:06The fine dining was my idea of food hell
33:10Get me a burger, any day
33:12Your next course has arrived, which is the squid
33:16Oh, come on, we're in a really nice place, can't be talking like that
33:21Super embarrassed
33:23Oh, look at it
33:24Nah, it's freaking me out
33:26Tentacles
33:28Like, no thank you
33:30The sauce and everything is just, wow
33:32Mmm
33:33I can't even chew it, now what?
33:36Absolutely disgusting
33:38The posh nosh isn't going down well with Gemma, but Stacey is getting stuck right in
33:44Coffee's actually really nice
33:46Stacey, you're a big foodie like me
33:49I believe that Stacey was very inspired by this experience
33:52I think she just found out something that she loves
33:55Yeah, I'm getting a right taste for luxury
33:58The food is just amazing where we're staying
34:01How often do you go out for dinner?
34:03Three times a week?
34:04Well, at least, yeah, three times a week
34:06We don't mind paying sort of, you know, 100, 150 euros for a bottle of wine
34:10Look, I can go down my local pub, get a burger, like, with chips and some salad with a beer for $7.99
34:19I think the amount of money that James and Isabella spend on food and wine is a bit stupid really
34:25Especially because it tasted like that
34:27A little bit disappointed because, you know, obviously that's our thing, you know, luxurious cuisine
34:32It's a little bit uncomfortable
34:34It's a new day in Sylvie
34:38And in store for the foursome, the premium activity of the luxury holiday
34:43Is this our boat?
34:44Wow
34:45A private charter speed boat is taking them to their very own desert island
34:50Thank you
34:51Woo!
34:52I could not believe my eyes
34:58I've never seen anything like that
35:00Well, I have, but I didn't think I'd ever be on one
35:03Yeah, this is the highlight
35:05Waterpark or Yacht in the Sea
35:08I think Yacht in the Sea wins hands down
35:10Yeah, it's lovely
35:11For charter yacht broker James, it's a busman's holiday
35:15The best feeling is just being out there, cruising on the ocean
35:19Can't get enough of that
35:20I can't believe that James and Isabella get to do that regularly
35:24I'm very envious of that
35:26And when you have your own boat
35:29You can drop anchor in virgin coves with no other people in sight
35:33It was so nice just being the four of us in this beach
35:37No one else there, no footprints before us
35:40It's an amazing feeling and one of my favourite things in the world
35:44This is amazing
35:45Beautiful
35:46I've never seen a beach like this in my life
35:47I didn't expect it to be this good though
35:49For me, this is the real luxury
35:52Yeah
35:53Absolute paradise
35:54But paradise comes with a price tag
35:56You do need money to be able to come to these beaches
35:58Because you need a yacht or a boat
36:00Realistically, it's probably around between $1,500 to $2,000 per day
36:04Maybe more depending on the yacht you take
36:06$2,000 like what we get over two months to like live
36:10To live off, yeah
36:11That is literally two months rent, gas, electric and food
36:15For me and my children
36:17I'm in awe of how they live
36:23I want this life so bad
36:25If I had a choice to be able to live their lives
36:28I would be there in a heartbeat
36:30Coming up
36:32Gemma's thirst for luxury is unquenchable
36:35I was pleasantly surprised
36:37I really, really like me olive oil
36:39But at what cost?
36:41No
36:42That's more than I get a year
36:44That's blowing my mind
36:45A couple of five star loving high flyers
36:57Are showing some hard up party pals
37:00Ladies, breakfast is served
37:04Room service
37:07How to holiday in style
37:09That is freaking me out
37:10To see if money really can buy holiday happiness
37:13Get me a burger
37:15Any day
37:19It's the final morning of the holiday
37:21And there's one last activity to tick off
37:24A private tour of a family-run organic olive oil farm
37:28Calimera, Calimera
37:29You are very welcome in Trianos Family Farm
37:33Dimitri and his family own two hectares of ancient olive groves
37:37And since 2012 have been producing award-winning olive oil
37:42One of my favorite things to do while I'm traveling
37:44Is to go for tastings of local products
37:48It's holiday heaven for foodie Isabella
37:51But Gemma and Stacey are more at home with tanning oil than olive oil
37:55So we have two types
37:57We make olive oil for food and salad
37:59And the hyphenolic olive oil
38:01Is the oil that we use it for our health
38:03I thought that the girls would be bored with that
38:05Can I ask a question?
38:06I'm wondering what the health benefits are from olive oil
38:09Of course
38:10What it helps with
38:11But I was so amazed of how Gemma was excited
38:16And she was asking a lot of questions
38:18They have a deflammatory and antioxidant properties
38:20It's very good for the cholangic system
38:23Oh
38:24As soon as he mentioned constipation
38:26Gemma got very, very excited
38:29Because she's been struggling a bit here
38:32The tasting couldn't come soon enough
38:35So I have for you one challenge
38:37We have put here the oil that we use it for our health
38:39And the other oil is more for food
38:42So we don't tell you of course where is that oil in one glass
38:45But we give you to taste it
38:47And we like after you taste the oil to tell us what oil is that
38:50How sweet is that?
38:51You had to actually drink it like a shot
38:53Like it went for me
38:55I was pleasantly surprised
38:57I really, really like the olive oil
38:59I feel like this one is for the cooking
39:01And this one is for the health benefits
39:03You're very good, so you have expenses to taste
39:05No!
39:07It's really, really nice to see Gemma embracing culture
39:11Is this the same woman that we met at the start of the holiday?
39:15I feel like James and Isabella are rubbing off on me a little bit
39:17I think I'm slowly growing up
39:18I never thought that would happen
39:22With the holiday drawing to a close
39:25Over a drink at the farm one burning question remains
39:29Judy on his face
39:31How much did the luxury break cost?
39:35The total bill for your holiday is £14,270
39:41What?
39:42That's £7,135 for each pair
39:45Yeah
39:46No!
39:48That's really expensive
39:49£14,000
39:51That's more than I get a year to like feed, clothes, house
39:57That's blown my mind
39:58Is that what you pay on a normal holiday?
40:01If you broke it down individually
40:02Wowzers
40:04I'm not going to lie, like if I had your money
40:06I would be spending it on exactly the same thing
40:09This is a world I've never even, I never even knew
40:12And it's made me want more from life
40:15I don't want to go back to that hard bed
40:17No!
40:18It's changed my whole outlook
40:19It's gave me inspiration to sort of change my life up a bit when I get home
40:32You have swung me
40:33It makes me want to be more reserved
40:35I don't want to be running around doing like an up job or anything like that
40:38Well I've learnt that peace is actually really nice
40:40Yes
40:41Yeah, I'm enjoying the peaceful side of it
40:44You've been out of your comfort zone many times
40:47Yes
40:48But you tried
40:49We're so proud of you
40:50Yeah, I'm just so thankful for showing me your world
40:53And it's inspiring me to do more with my life
40:57And I want what you guys have got
40:59This is amazing
41:01It's made us both want to do better in life
41:03And try that little bit harder
41:06And maybe push ourselves to do things that we didn't think we could
41:10We want to accomplish things in life
41:13Before we're six foot under
41:15I think it was harder for you
41:18We're very used to spending a lot of money when we go on holiday
41:22But there's a bit that you've opened up inside of me
41:25That's made me think
41:26Maybe we don't always have to go and splash the cash around
41:29Like, you know, spending 100 euros, 100 pounds on a bottle of wine
41:33Is it necessary?
41:34In a way, you've shown us a different world
41:36You've shown us your style of life
41:38Kind of jovial attitude
41:40Which I do think is brilliant
41:42You pushed us out of our comfort zone
41:44Of course I'm more comfortable in my side of the holidays
41:46Than your side of the holidays
41:48Of course, so was I
41:49But I also had fun
41:51I think I learned a lot from Gemma and Stacey
41:54They have this very happy style
41:57They're always smiling
41:59Although sometimes a little bit loudly
42:00I think I'm for sure I'm smiling more now
42:03Than I was in the first day
42:05I think we all changed it a little bit
42:07Yeah
42:08We all learned things from each other
42:11Yeah, I feel like I've made two new friends
42:13I know obviously we're not going to be going out
42:15Night clubbing together and stuff
42:17No
42:18And then also
42:19Hi
42:20Hi
42:25Back at the hotel
42:26It's checkout time
42:28I've really got it
42:29I've got to go
42:31Well, way by rooms
42:33All that's left to do is say their farewells
42:36Hi girls
42:37Hi girls
42:38Well, it's time to leave already, right?

43:01We've got you a little something too
43:03Oh, thank you
43:04That's so sweet
43:05About our last two euros
43:06Because it was all we had
43:08A bunch
43:10I love short glasses
43:11Thank you
43:12Thank you

43:14So you can drink the olive oil out of that
43:15Yes

43:22I'm so kind
43:23It's time to go home
43:24Let's get to the airport
43:25Let's dive
43:30Back at their home in Spain
43:32Hi, we're back to Sena Barcelona
43:34And Hertfordshire
43:35Everyone is reflecting on the holiday
43:38Overall, both holidays are brilliant
43:40The rich was just a completely different experience
43:43Makes you want to work towards
43:45Like, having some luxury like that in life
43:48I think overall, you know
43:50I think, yeah, money can buy a great experience
43:53I had a lot of fun in their part of their holidays
43:57I learned that you can do a lot with a lower budget
44:01But I have to admit that I still think that money can buy a better experience in holidays
44:06I've had the best time ever
44:09Feeling like I've got some great new friends
44:11James and Isabella are an inspiration
44:13And I feel inspired to do better
44:16To open my eyes to how I want to live my life now
44:20Next time
44:24I'd rather sleep in a prison
44:25I'm not staying here
44:26It stinks of piss
44:27We're here now
44:28Let's make the most of the day
44:31This is the life
