Episode 6

Olly is based in the swankiest part of London, Chelsea. After having spent hundreds of thousands of pounds of his parents' money on his education, and general living expenses for many a year, Olly is trying to go it alone. Like his parents, Olly is working in a property firm. It's based in Knightsbridge, so he gets lunch daily at Harrods and shows rich people around very large properties. As he tells his posh friend Freddie, he is very nerv-ous about going to stay with someone skint. Clare, who he'll be staying with, is in debt and is worried. She lives with her son, Ted, and is heartbroken when she has to tell him he can't have lots of the things that turn his head in shops. Clare owns two companies, but the cost of living crisis has meant that costs have shot through the roof, and she is burdened with increasing debt. She only has 15p profit at the end of each week. When she meets Olly and hears about his £60-a-day food budget, Clare is keen to whisk him away to her local food bank just to prove how extravagant his eating habits are compared to hers. Throughout the Rich Kid's time with her, Clare is keen to prove how it's possible to eat well on a very small budget. She also takes him to the woods to demonstrate that worrying about expensive clothes is wasting an opportunity to be in the Great Outdoors with those you love. Olly's biggest challenge comes when he's tasked with buying food for Clare's café and then spending the afternoon working in the café in the hope that he hasn't bought too little, or too many, ingredients for the customers. But what will happen when Clare catches him sneaking off to use his phone when he should be working?
