In a new episode of Channel 5’s Rich House, Poor House, one family get to live in the luxurious Ludstone Hall, owned by Poundland founder, Steve Smith.
Steve and his son Joe are swapping lives with Kelly, John and their five children who live 29 miles away in Stafford.
For seven days, they get to live in each other’s homes and survive on their budgets and lifestyle.
In a clip shown on Instagram, Steve highlighted the spacious mansion he lives in, boasting 11 bedrooms and six bedrooms.
However, Kelly, John and their family live in a four-bedroom semi and live hand to mouth.
As the pair swap homes, the couple are blown away to see the mansion they’d be living in for a week.
When inside, John sent his children on a mission to find the swimming pool, although they had trouble locating it, unaware that the ballroom floor lowered to create a pool.
One of their daughters commented: “We were walking over it and everything! No one even knew that it was there. That was the shock. It was very magical, very hidden even though it’s right in front of your eyes.”

As the family got acquainted with their new life of luxury, they were speechless to discover their budget for the week was a staggering £2,040.
Overcome with emotion, Kelly replied: “That’s a lot. Are we too late in life to achieve, to even get even half of this a week? Are we too far in life to get this?”
Whereas Steve and his son were tasked with living off the family’s budget of £39.80. Commenting on the price, he said: “I never expected to have such a little budget.”
Viewers were quick to comment on the clip shared on Instagram, as one person said: “I watched this episode last night!!! One of there best ones, Both families are so nice and genuine.. happy with the outcome at the end.”
Another added: “This programme is a genuine reality eye opener.”
