:00:00. > :00:14.Last time on Famous, Rich and Hungry. It is exhausting, the whole
:00:15. > :00:19.time hungry. Oh my word. Four Sport Relief volunteers had a taste of
:00:20. > :00:24.what life is like for people who can't afford adequate food. Cheryl
:00:25. > :00:32.Fergison. I have never picked anything from the bin before. Theo
:00:33. > :00:39.Paphitis. That is terrible. Rachel Johnson. ?3 for one. It is
:00:40. > :00:43.unaffordable. And Jamie Laing. This is the UK and people are saying
:00:44. > :00:51.things like, thank you for the food. They have spent three days living on
:00:52. > :00:58.the bread line. Quite disturbing. Now they're going deeper. Moving in
:00:59. > :01:03.with some of Britain's hungriest family. You're having one meal a
:01:04. > :01:09.day? Yes. To unpick the problems that pushed them into poverty. You
:01:10. > :01:17.need to break out of this. I have never been this far in my life. You
:01:18. > :01:24.are just keeping it together. It is a living nightmare.
:01:25. > :01:30.The Sport Relief volunteers are about to begin the next stage of
:01:31. > :01:39.their journey through hungry Britain. Have another nibble. I'm
:01:40. > :01:43.tired. The scheme has been deviced by the Children's Society. They're
:01:44. > :01:49.coming back, looking forward to having a break and a nice meal. But
:01:50. > :01:54.people on the breadline don't get a break and they won't. It was tough.
:01:55. > :02:00.Once you have been hungry for a while, it affects your mood and what
:02:01. > :02:12.you're able to cope with. Are you all right? They're now worn down.
:02:13. > :02:16.Hello welcome back. You have had your first taste of what it is like
:02:17. > :02:22.to experience hunger. To go out. We want to find out what it was like.
:02:23. > :02:26.I'm tired, I haven't had a hot wash or bath or shower or nothing. I
:02:27. > :02:30.would like to leave this billing now and go and get something to eat or
:02:31. > :02:36.do something. Because basically... We are all in the same boat as well.
:02:37. > :02:42.I was hungry, but the deal was we eat and drink what they do. It is
:02:43. > :02:47.shocking that anybody should make do on that little money. Rachel, when
:02:48. > :02:52.you left here, I think you were a bit sceptical about whether there
:02:53. > :02:59.was hunger in the UK. What I saw was that people have ?3 to spend on
:03:00. > :03:03.their food. They will buy the worst food available. The cheapest food
:03:04. > :03:08.there is and they will be dependent on the charity of others. You have
:03:09. > :03:14.been living with a mum on benefits. You can see what happens, as the
:03:15. > :03:19.week got on, food got less and less. And without the food bank, I would
:03:20. > :03:26.have been starving. Can we imagine this country if all the food banks
:03:27. > :03:32.closed tomorrow? No. No. You have been through a lot all right already
:03:33. > :03:37.and now we are sending you to live with another family for three days.
:03:38. > :03:42.We want you to apply what you have learned from the past three days.
:03:43. > :03:46.Are there solutions and better ways people can manage their situations.
:03:47. > :03:51.We would like to see if you could use some practical skills to see if
:03:52. > :03:58.you can help people in their situations. None of the volunteers
:03:59. > :04:02.know where they're going. All they have been given is a name and
:04:03. > :04:08.address. This will be the fourth day they have gone hungry and it will
:04:09. > :04:12.get tough now. I have got all different scenarios going around in
:04:13. > :04:19.my head. I hope I will be able to use any expertise from the last
:04:20. > :04:24.placements and see what can be fixed. I haven't eat p anything
:04:25. > :04:28.since breakfast. It is hard to eat nothing and know you won't have
:04:29. > :04:35.anything tomorrow. I'm starving. What would I eat? These next couple
:04:36. > :04:40.of days will be a killer. The worst case scenario is people think I'm a
:04:41. > :04:49.stuck up, posh blonde bitch and I am another mouth to feed. It could be a
:04:50. > :04:54.recipe for melt down. Thank you. Jamie has arrived in Sheffield. Is
:04:55. > :05:05.this an estate h I don't know if it is. I haven't been on an estate
:05:06. > :05:11.before. I don't like this. Heir to a multimillion pound fortune, Jamie is
:05:12. > :05:15.more familiar with country than council estate. I grew up in a
:05:16. > :05:19.country house with a swimming pool and tennis court. I have been
:05:20. > :05:25.privileged. There has been no fear of where is the money going to come
:05:26. > :05:41.from. I don't know what that is. That is not nice. Whatever it is.
:05:42. > :05:46.Hi. Hello. I'm Jamie. Muhammad Ali. Muhammad Ali? What is up. Thank you
:05:47. > :05:52.for having me. Are you a comedian? No, I'm not, I'm on a TV show called
:05:53. > :05:57.Made In Chelsea and I go around kissing a lot of girls. That is what
:05:58. > :06:04.I basically do. Mohammed was a bus driver, but he gave up to look after
:06:05. > :06:12.his children. Their mum Left two years ago. I'm a father that is
:06:13. > :06:17.bringing up my children. And... Struggling to bring up my children.
:06:18. > :06:25.Is it all right. Can I sleep in your room. Does that mean I get to sleep
:06:26. > :06:31.in dad's bed. Mohammed receives ?220 a week in benefits. But he is ?5,000
:06:32. > :06:34.in debt. He helps support his four children from a previous
:06:35. > :06:41.relationship and after his debt repayments and other expenses, he
:06:42. > :06:46.estimates there is ?3. 48 a day left for food. We live on a day-to-day
:06:47. > :06:52.basis. The money, I was this a hard. You're juggling paying the bills, I
:06:53. > :06:56.don't eat some meals. Just so they have more. You have got a limited
:06:57. > :07:03.stock. If I'm going to eat everything, where are they going to
:07:04. > :07:12.get their stuff from? Yes. You need to get your pajamas on. There is a
:07:13. > :07:25.lot o' find out. He doesn't eat that much. He skips meals. There must be
:07:26. > :07:34.other ways. I'm not an expert. Theo is in South London. Hello. Venlts
:07:35. > :07:45.pleased to meet you. He will stay with Janet and John and their three
:07:46. > :07:53.What do you normally do on a Saturday night? Not a lot. John
:07:54. > :08:00.earns ?18,000 a year as a security guard. But most of the time the
:08:01. > :08:04.family have no money for food. When you're working and you're still
:08:05. > :08:10.struggling, and you have got to pay all the bills, your debts will get
:08:11. > :08:17.on top of you. It like a knife going into your hear Will we work
:08:18. > :08:22.something out for food. Chip shop tonight. When we haven't got any
:08:23. > :08:29.money, so we get it on tick and we don't pay until. We pay it on
:08:30. > :08:33.Friday. Really? The local take away is one of few sources available to
:08:34. > :08:39.Janet and John. Because the owners offer them an eat now pay later
:08:40. > :08:46.deal. Can I get those on tick and pay on Friday? You do it for him but
:08:47. > :08:52.not everybody. A few people. A lot of families. We do sometimes credit.
:08:53. > :08:56.I know they have problems. Luckily for you you don't have to give me
:08:57. > :09:04.tick. Because I just have enough. Take care. Good to meet you. We are
:09:05. > :09:07.done. Thank you. Take care. I have got to be honest. I haven't computed
:09:08. > :09:18.everything at the moment. I don't know what to make of it.
:09:19. > :09:39.Rachel is in Essex. I is grim. -- it is grim. Hello. Hello. I Rachel. I'm
:09:40. > :09:44.Mick. Hi Jackie. What do you do? I'm a writer. Why are you making that
:09:45. > :09:52.face? I thought you were a woman jockey! A woman jockey in With the
:09:53. > :09:56.pants and the boots! That is the best compliment I have had. Mick
:09:57. > :10:01.used to work as a roofer. But he has been unemployed for three years.
:10:02. > :10:08.This is what I have got in my cupboard until tomorrow. The family
:10:09. > :10:14.receive ?261 a week in benefits. But they're over ?2,000 in debt. When he
:10:15. > :10:17.was working, we had no worries shopping, but now we're in a
:10:18. > :10:23.desperate situation. It is something we can't get out of. We are trying,
:10:24. > :10:30.but we can't. Make and Jackie calculate their daily food budget is
:10:31. > :10:34.?1. 38 a person. That is sad. You have got your kids saying I'm
:10:35. > :10:39.hungry, can I have this and I have to limit it out. Before I could just
:10:40. > :10:45.get them it when they wanted it. You're a roofer? Yes. Is there any
:10:46. > :10:51.roofing business around here, any work? Before we had children, I and
:10:52. > :10:58.he committed a crime. You have got a criminal... A criminal card. What
:10:59. > :11:05.for? Theft u burglary. Have you found nothing? Odd jobs. You're just
:11:06. > :11:07.stuck in a circle, if you go to an interview and there is somebody
:11:08. > :11:10.there with a criminal record and somebody without a criminal record,
:11:11. > :11:17.they will employ the person without a criminal record. This is a
:11:18. > :11:20.particular ly desperate situation because of their criminal records.
:11:21. > :11:25.I'm not going to take over here. I don't think that is a possibility.
:11:26. > :11:40.Last to arrive Cheryl, will be living in Lincolnshire. Hello.
:11:41. > :11:53.Hello. Nice to meet you. How are you? I'm not just as normal as can
:11:54. > :12:02.be. Oh, my gosh! Alison can afford three basic meals a day. I see them.
:12:03. > :12:09.I do see crisps. That is good. She used to earn ?400 a week in the
:12:10. > :12:16.leisure industry, but now lives on ?93. Was there a reason why you
:12:17. > :12:23.packed up work? I became ill. It is a condition where your muscles and
:12:24. > :12:29.joints hurt. You're in pain? Yes. I presume the way you're getting your
:12:30. > :12:34.money is by state benefit. I don't understand what this sort of
:12:35. > :12:39.situation is. I want to know why you want to be involved. The definition
:12:40. > :12:44.of food poverty is not only not having enough food to eat. But it is
:12:45. > :12:49.also having to scour the shops to find the cheapest bargains. And
:12:50. > :12:53.living on a very low budget. I feel like I'm missing a trick and I don't
:12:54. > :13:05.know what I'm missing, other than that it is hard to... For anybody to
:13:06. > :13:09.live on state benefits. In the UK the minimum cost-of-living has risen
:13:10. > :13:21.by more than a quarter in the last six years. Oh, my gosh. This is
:13:22. > :13:26.cheese. Normally it is ?2 to buy. Come in then. Fewer households are
:13:27. > :13:34.able to put adequate food on the table. Tonight, Jamie and Rachel
:13:35. > :13:39.have nothing to eat. No supper. For many parents skipping meals to
:13:40. > :13:44.ensure there is enough food for kids is a daily reality. I won't ask. I
:13:45. > :14:06.would never ask for a meal. Have you done this job all the time.
:14:07. > :14:12.For the last five years. I get paid on 25th of the month. By 26th it is
:14:13. > :14:16.gone. We have no money to spend on food. That is no exaggeration.
:14:17. > :14:24.People say it is my fault for getting into a bit of debt. OK. The
:14:25. > :14:29.trouble is I've got a pay day loan which I took out to try and get us
:14:30. > :14:34.out of trouble. Which got us more in trouble. Pay done loans offer
:14:35. > :14:42.instant cash. Nationally their use is soaring. John took his out four
:14:43. > :14:51.months ago. You borrowed 600 and got paid 180. In interest. The following
:14:52. > :14:57.month. How much have you paid back? 720 in interest. Alone. You have
:14:58. > :15:06.paid ?720 in interest. In four months. For 6 hundred quid? Yes. It
:15:07. > :15:12.is a lot of money. The most vicious sieshg of debt. I can't get my head
:15:13. > :15:28.around the pay day lender. I was Prime Minister, I would make it
:15:29. > :15:33.illegal. The volunteers' first night with their families is drawing to a
:15:34. > :15:46.close. This comes out like that. This is great. Appreciate it, I will
:15:47. > :15:59.see you in the morning. A very clean house which is a good sign of a good
:16:00. > :16:08.attitude. I have lost so much weight. I am confused as to why I am
:16:09. > :16:11.here. I have come into a home that has food in the cupboards and food
:16:12. > :16:38.in the fridge. Where is the problem? The volunteers are waking up on the
:16:39. > :16:54.first morning in their households. Would I like coffee? You need to
:16:55. > :17:02.ask? ! Hello. High five, respect. He is so cute, I want to play with him
:17:03. > :17:13.all day. When was the last time you ate? Yesterday morning. Rachel is
:17:14. > :17:22.unaware that they can seldom afford breakfast. I don't use the word
:17:23. > :17:29.starving, but I am hungry. We have a couple of slices of toast every
:17:30. > :17:38.couple of days. You will start losing your mind. I start crying
:17:39. > :17:44.then, I get very low. I got that rundown. I am not taking your last
:17:45. > :17:51.banana. You can take it. No, I couldn't. In order to make sure his
:17:52. > :18:00.kids have enough, Mohammed doesn't eat breakfast diner. I am so hungry.
:18:01. > :18:11.I cannot ask for food. How on earth can he make me bacon and eggs? See
:18:12. > :18:16.you later. Jamie is determined to improve Mohammed Salah 's Mac and
:18:17. > :18:19.food situation. As well as his own. The opportunity is all about going
:18:20. > :18:27.out and finding resources. This way. Find if there is a foodbank, if
:18:28. > :18:35.there is a soup kitchen. I have never been to one, I assume it sells
:18:36. > :18:42.soup. Can I find -- ask your question? Have you been to a
:18:43. > :18:48.foodbank? You haven't. Do you know anything about a soup kitchen food
:18:49. > :18:56.banks? Sorry, no. Have you experienced hunger or anything
:18:57. > :19:01.similar? It is tricky. After nearly two hours of searching, Jamie
:19:02. > :19:11.finally find someone who can tell him where to get free food. Friday
:19:12. > :19:22.is the Broom Hall breakfast project. This is amazing, really helpful. I
:19:23. > :19:27.could kiss you. For males, about ?1 20 a meal. In Clacton, Jackie and
:19:28. > :19:33.make need to go food shopping. My last meal on earth would he really
:19:34. > :19:37.good read, butter and an array of French cheeses and a fantastic
:19:38. > :19:48.bottle of wine. Vintage claret. What would yours be? My favourite meal?
:19:49. > :19:58.Last meal on earth? McDonald's. It isn't a frequent haunt. My younger
:19:59. > :20:09.brother, Joe works in Downing Street and Boris, M Bell brother runs
:20:10. > :20:18.London. It would be nice that Labour would detach. Rachel has given the
:20:19. > :20:31.family all of her ?4.17 food budget. That came to ?4 26. Sliced ham,
:20:32. > :20:37.muffins, tomatoes. Probably do your shopping on your laptop and get it
:20:38. > :20:45.delivered? It is true, I do. I pay ?6 delivery charge to get it
:20:46. > :20:52.delivered. What we have just spent in the shop, is what Rachel pays for
:20:53. > :20:58.delivery. You are not wrong. On another shopping trip eight months
:20:59. > :21:04.ago, Jackie took a drastic step. I robbed the food shop and got caught.
:21:05. > :21:10.What had you taken, how much value? Just a couple of packets of bacon
:21:11. > :21:15.and some washing powder to wash the school clothes. I got a fine and
:21:16. > :21:21.because I did not pay it, it went up. So you are in debt? I care more
:21:22. > :21:28.about the children because Jackie and make have made, and they would
:21:29. > :21:33.say it first, poor choices and made bad decisions. Their choices will
:21:34. > :21:39.take away their children's ability to make good choices and have
:21:40. > :21:47.opportunities that my children have had. Janet, you have got the window
:21:48. > :21:53.open. Then she whines at me to put the heating on when she goes to bed.
:21:54. > :21:59.She has got my trip up putting the masking tape around the window.
:22:00. > :22:05.Business tycoon, Theo is the son of Greek Cypriots who came to Britain
:22:06. > :22:11.when he was six. My parents just had one suitcase and had nothing. We
:22:12. > :22:17.lived hand to mouth and I acclimatised in such a way I can no
:22:18. > :22:22.longer relate to work I came from. I say I do, but is it true? All of
:22:23. > :22:30.this came from the foodbank. I have never seen one of these. Janet and
:22:31. > :22:34.John regularly depends on the foodbank. They are on first name
:22:35. > :22:40.terms with the staff. How did you get through Christmas? Sarah in the
:22:41. > :22:48.foodbank turned up with a box because we did not have anything in
:22:49. > :22:56.the fridge. You had no turkey? No, she turned up with a turkey crown,
:22:57. > :23:09.stuffing balls. I started crying. You do, you take it and it is hard.
:23:10. > :23:25.It really is. Sorry... Take your time. Take your time. This man is
:23:26. > :23:32.out there working and they are producing nothing but debt
:23:33. > :23:41.repayments. I can honestly do not know how you deal with this. In
:23:42. > :23:47.Sheffield, Jamie thinks he may have seen away for Mohammed Salah eat
:23:48. > :23:51.more than one meal a day. If you want to get a hot meal, you can go
:23:52. > :23:57.there for free. That is round the corner. I have associated them
:23:58. > :24:04.places for the homeless. Not at all, let's go and check it out together
:24:05. > :24:14.and see what happens. This could be good. Definitely, I cannot wait to
:24:15. > :24:18.check it out. What you see on your right is the sort of thing that put
:24:19. > :24:23.you off will stop soup kitchen is provide free meals for the
:24:24. > :24:25.disadvantaged and neither Jamie all Mohammed Salah have ever been there
:24:26. > :24:43.before. Maybe it is not the right place for
:24:44. > :24:56.the kids. Sorry. How many are having food? I would love one if there is
:24:57. > :25:08.one going. Maybe it is not the right place. The atmosphere. Didn't expect
:25:09. > :25:14.that. If I had to think about it, these are the people who cannot
:25:15. > :25:19.afford to buy food. What would I expect walking into these people who
:25:20. > :25:23.cannot afford to buy meals. I did not think they would be alcoholics
:25:24. > :25:30.and drug addicts, people who are homeless and don't have any money. I
:25:31. > :25:39.wasn't expecting to see that. It is not a place for the kids, which is
:25:40. > :25:45.annoying. Janet wants to show Theo wider family are unable to afford
:25:46. > :26:04.food. Here, I have a pile of debts. ?673. This is for ?1004 outstanding.
:26:05. > :26:12.Another final notice. 15,779% APR will stop take that in context. The
:26:13. > :26:23.Bank of England base rate is under 1%. Exactly. I am lost for words. Do
:26:24. > :26:31.you have a clue as to what the overall figure is that you owe?
:26:32. > :26:40.20,000? I don't know, I cannot put a figure on it? You need to break out
:26:41. > :26:44.of this. We cannot afford to feed the kids properly. What would happen
:26:45. > :26:52.if they took you to court and you did not have the money. They could
:26:53. > :26:55.bankrupt you? We did look down that road a couple of years ago, but we
:26:56. > :27:05.were trying to avoid that. But I said, why not? You should consider
:27:06. > :27:11.it. Bankruptcy is the last resort. Debts are written off but you are
:27:12. > :27:15.credit blacklisted or many years. I would say the cancer is to do the
:27:16. > :27:22.bankruptcy. They cannot keep leaving it. John is a very proud man and
:27:23. > :27:26.that is the biggest challenge, to explain the benefits of it. In
:27:27. > :27:34.Lincolnshire, Alison is dependent armband -- benefits. But has managed
:27:35. > :27:41.to avoid getting into debt. What is this? This is the spreadsheet I have
:27:42. > :27:47.been telling you about. Every day I go into my bank account and check
:27:48. > :27:51.might online statement against my spreadsheet and make sure it
:27:52. > :27:58.balances. So every day you add to this? Yes, and then I forecast three
:27:59. > :28:07.months ahead. That is so precise so your life is about Alan sing the
:28:08. > :28:16.books? Yes. So it works and you know what is going out and you have food
:28:17. > :28:21.in the cupboard. My finances are so tight and I cannot risk
:28:22. > :28:25.overspending. It is remarkable what she has done with the money coming
:28:26. > :28:33.in. Just the organisation of it, it is amazing. Let's have a look. In
:28:34. > :28:42.Clacton, Mick and Jackie still haven't eaten. When did it all
:28:43. > :28:49.starts, how did you meet Jackie? We grew up together on the same estate.
:28:50. > :28:59.You are childhood sweetheart? I got on heroin aged 16. Lost my job after
:29:00. > :29:09.a year. How did you get on heroin? Friends gave it to me. Did you go on
:29:10. > :29:15.heroin at the same time? Yes, it was a drug relationship. So your
:29:16. > :29:21.criminal records was to buy drugs? When you had the kids, was that the
:29:22. > :29:34.trigger that stop you? The drugs and crime? What about your mothers? With
:29:35. > :29:42.a caring? Yes she was. She did the best she could. I have never met my
:29:43. > :29:44.dad. I don't know my real dad either, he could pass me in the
:29:45. > :29:52.street and I would not know. He left when I was young. My mother wasn't
:29:53. > :29:58.very well when I was growing up. We were living in one country, and my
:29:59. > :30:06.mother was in another. How poorly was she? Very, it was mental health
:30:07. > :30:11.rather than physical health. She had four children, not very much help.
:30:12. > :30:17.My father used to travel a lot so she was on her own and I think it
:30:18. > :30:24.was quite hard for her. It must have been quite lonely? It taught me that
:30:25. > :30:29.people who have mental illness, it does not mean they are not also the
:30:30. > :30:36.sanest people you know and she has given me so much, like your mum,
:30:37. > :30:44.probably? She did her best, I am proud of my mum. I wanted them to
:30:45. > :30:48.see that what ever your background everybody has parents, stuff has
:30:49. > :30:51.gone on and I don't want them to think they are alone with their
:30:52. > :30:57.problems. But I have had nothing like as much. I have had an easy
:30:58. > :31:01.ride. The were times when I did not have my mother around and then my
:31:02. > :31:08.parents got divorced. I don't want it to be about my suffering because
:31:09. > :31:14.I am healthy and solvent. I am much too privileged. Maybe the argument
:31:15. > :31:17.is, it did not damage me? Jamie is struggling to find a way for
:31:18. > :31:24.Mohammed to be able to eat more. He has decided to blow his entire
:31:25. > :31:31.three-day food budget. Tone sure that tonight -- to ensure at least
:31:32. > :31:52.tonight they can have a good meal. Get a couple of potatoes. Whatever.
:31:53. > :31:56.I nearly cut myself! Oh Shrop Oh! Don't. I don't want you cut
:31:57. > :32:02.yourself. How do you do it so quickly. You're base clay chef. Do
:32:03. > :32:08.you want to see my knife skills? How are your knife skills so good? I
:32:09. > :32:20.have been working in restaurants. We should get you on Master Chef! This
:32:21. > :32:28.what is you should be doing. Have you heard your dad say I'm hungry or
:32:29. > :32:34.something like that? Only once in my entire life. Once. He said... I feel
:32:35. > :32:39.dizzy, I'm very hungry. Have you noticed your dad being happy or sad,
:32:40. > :32:47.or has he always been the same. He is happy, because he always says
:32:48. > :32:53.that I'm the best, me and Aidan are the best sons a man can have. Yeah.
:32:54. > :32:58.That is what he said. Which is true, you know that. All he has done is
:32:59. > :33:08.talk about you boys. He is a good dad? A very good dad. Oh, God! This
:33:09. > :33:12.experience is just... Like Adam and Aidan, Jamie was brought up by a
:33:13. > :33:17.single parent. It has taught me that family is the most important thing
:33:18. > :33:26.in your life. I have taken so many things for granted. It makes me
:33:27. > :33:39.appreciate things more. Love you too! Hello. Hello. Jamie. Hello. Oh,
:33:40. > :33:44.God, how are you? Hi mum. Oh, my God. I have been awake every night
:33:45. > :33:50.worrying. Last night was the worst. What I have realised, I thought I
:33:51. > :33:55.was going to get into this and... Learn a lot more about you know
:33:56. > :33:59.appreciating things and not paying for stuff as much. Which I think I
:34:00. > :34:03.appreciated, but it is not really what I have learned. Everything is a
:34:04. > :34:10.lot deeper than just those things. But what I have realised is that...
:34:11. > :34:17.Is that... What is so important in life is family. It is the only
:34:18. > :34:32.thing. I want you to know that... Above everything that... Yeah. That
:34:33. > :34:45.I do... That... That I do really appreciate everything you've done! I
:34:46. > :34:52.know. I know you do. Love you, buy. Our volunteers are half way through
:34:53. > :34:58.their stay with their hosts. I'm not going to slip off in here. How to
:34:59. > :35:04.make some extra money! Mohammed and Jamie's day starts with a three and
:35:05. > :35:10.a half mile trip to drop the boys off. Freezing. It is like round the
:35:11. > :35:16.corner. Mohammed and I both haven't eaten and we have done a 20 minute
:35:17. > :35:23.walk. It is freezing. I can hardly move my mouth. With nothing in your
:35:24. > :35:28.body apart from a tea or coffee, it is exhausting. I'm cold and hungry.
:35:29. > :35:34.When was the last time you had breakfast, lunch and dinner. A long
:35:35. > :35:40.time ago. Why won't you have that to have more energy. It is taking stuff
:35:41. > :35:47.that is there for the kids. It is not practical. Those Weetabix, there
:35:48. > :35:51.is another 12 pieces left. And 12 pieces that is... Is like six days
:35:52. > :35:59.breakfast. What does a normal evening meal cost you zm Three and a
:36:00. > :36:05.half kid. So that is I suppose all the money gone during the day, which
:36:06. > :36:09.is difficult. But maybe you cook your kids the most amazing meal
:36:10. > :36:18.every night. You have to reduce certain things. One ingredient you
:36:19. > :36:24.can reduce and still make a Gordon Ramsay style meal. You need energy.
:36:25. > :36:28.In a weird way you can say maybe you're not doing the best thing fr
:36:29. > :36:33.your kids, because you don't have the energy. Let's have one half a
:36:34. > :36:41.Weetabix. At least you're eating something. This is... Get a spoon
:36:42. > :36:58.and have some. No it is yours. Go for it. How are you feeling? I am
:36:59. > :37:07.still feeling guilty. Why. Because I want to do this regular. But I don't
:37:08. > :37:11.want to... Reduce the kids. It is about finding ways for you to eat as
:37:12. > :37:15.well as your kids. All your doing is giving too much to your kids and too
:37:16. > :37:38.little to yourself. It is a new leaf. You're an amazing
:37:39. > :37:44.father and an amazing role model. I actually feel full. There you go.
:37:45. > :37:52.Because your body hasn't eaten in I don't know how long. Thanks man.
:37:53. > :38:00.Let's do it. While Sheryl has popped out, Alison is doing her daily check
:38:01. > :38:05.on her finances. I have had a complete panic attack. Alison was
:38:06. > :38:10.expecting her housing benefit to have been paid, but it has not been.
:38:11. > :38:19.She moved and her new local authority has different pay dates.
:38:20. > :38:25.The worst. I'm going to be minus ?236. 49. That is charges instantly.
:38:26. > :38:31.I can just about cope from day-to-day. But this is it. It is
:38:32. > :38:37.just - it's just tipped me over the edge. I will have to ask for the
:38:38. > :38:47.food bank. It is just so upsetting. Because I have never been in this
:38:48. > :38:56.bad in my life. Hello. You all right? What is the matter. I checked
:38:57. > :39:02.my bank account this morning. The rent's gone out. The rent's gone
:39:03. > :39:09.out? Any rent's already gone out. And it is minus. So you're paying
:39:10. > :39:14.charges? Yes. This is a real shock to you? Every single day I'm on my
:39:15. > :39:18.spread sheet on my bank account and checking one against the other. It
:39:19. > :39:25.doesn't matter how much your doing the thing you know should be
:39:26. > :39:30.working, it is not working. No. When I arrived I thought, what is the
:39:31. > :39:37.problem? Alison's got her spread sheet and know what is she is doing.
:39:38. > :39:45.But just one little thing with set things off. It puts things in a
:39:46. > :39:49.sense of perspective for me. There's been nights when we haven't been
:39:50. > :39:57.able to have dinner. There is nights when it is hard. Janet has spoke on
:39:58. > :40:03.the John about Theo oes bankruptcy suggestion. I mean, that has a
:40:04. > :40:08.catastrophic effect on your quality of food. There hack very little --
:40:09. > :40:12.there has been very lilt fresh of anything. You have not had any fresh
:40:13. > :40:17.veg since I have been here. No, we live on tinned stuff. It is
:40:18. > :40:23.depressing. You can't carry op like this. You -- you can't carry on like
:40:24. > :40:28.this. Pride may have been stopping me. Because I feel as if I have let
:40:29. > :40:33.everybody down and doing the bankruptcy, I have even let the
:40:34. > :40:39.people down that I owe money to. Consider it as the loss of a battle.
:40:40. > :40:46.But win the war. There has been many elements during last few days that
:40:47. > :40:54.have taken me back to the times as a young teenager. This used to be my
:40:55. > :41:02.word. -- world. What if. What if I haven't got out? What if... I hadn't
:41:03. > :41:14.had the breaks? What if... I was still here? I don't know. It
:41:15. > :41:20.frightens me. It frightens me. I have never been here Jaime Ji has
:41:21. > :41:32.persuaded Mohammed to try another community lunch service. Hello. Fish
:41:33. > :41:41.cake. Two for us two. This is nice. It is nice. Hello. Thank you. Thank
:41:42. > :41:49.you. Is everything all right? It is delicious. Thank you so much. Really
:41:50. > :41:57.good. What do you think about this place compared to the other one?
:41:58. > :42:03.Much, it's more warmer. I'm full! Though they haven't been asked for
:42:04. > :42:10.money today, meals here cost ?1.80. But the staff that run the kitchen
:42:11. > :42:17.eat free. Which gives Jamie an idea. You feed people. We give them
:42:18. > :42:21.dignity. Kevin and Steven are responsible for vetting staff. What
:42:22. > :42:30.steps does he need to take to have an interview and volunteer here? We
:42:31. > :42:36.have an application form. It is a one side form and it asks for couple
:42:37. > :42:42.of ref Repses. -- references. Would it be possible for me to show off
:42:43. > :42:45.some of my skills. As a taster to see whether it would be suitable
:42:46. > :42:50.before we go through all the procedure? I think it would. You
:42:51. > :42:54.come in tomorrow, I'm sure Pam and the other ladies in the kitchen will
:42:55. > :43:01.look after you. Just see how we work. Then before you go, you could
:43:02. > :43:10.eat the fruits of your labour and have a meal. I would be happy to do
:43:11. > :43:19.that. Thank you. Bye guys. See you tomorrow. Bye guys. That was magic.
:43:20. > :43:24.There we go. All we need to do is go there. I know that. I will be here
:43:25. > :43:31.every day. Does it not feel good? Of course it does. I could cry. I'm
:43:32. > :43:42.glad we did this. I said I would give it a go by turning things
:43:43. > :43:51.around. You know? Let's get the kids. Thank you. Sheryl, Alison and
:43:52. > :43:57.her grandson for heading for the local council office to see if they
:43:58. > :44:02.can sort out Alison's housing benefit issue. If we can get some
:44:03. > :44:06.crisis loan. They must be able to do something. That is the point of the
:44:07. > :44:10.exercise. If we think positive and think that is what, we are going to
:44:11. > :44:16.go in with nothing and come out with a result. Yeah. After an hour,
:44:17. > :44:22.Sheryl and Alison have news. Excellent. Thank you so much. The
:44:23. > :44:27.council have agreed to change her payment date. So she can now pay her
:44:28. > :44:34.bills. What happened is what we call in London a result! I'm glad Sheryl
:44:35. > :44:44.is here. I'm feeling positive now. Compared to this morning. I'm so
:44:45. > :44:48.pleased and chuffed. In Clacton, Jackie has received news concerning
:44:49. > :44:55.her shoplifting conviction. I have had the most distressing call tr my
:44:56. > :45:02.solicitor that there maybe a warpt out for my - warrant out for my
:45:03. > :45:11.arrest. : If you stop paying it. We can't pay it. They may resentence
:45:12. > :45:23.me. Again? Yes. Because I can't pay the fine it might be community
:45:24. > :45:29.service or prison now. When are you going to know? My solicitor is going
:45:30. > :45:35.to ring me back. It is a living nightmare. Following her conviction
:45:36. > :45:46.the court ordered Jackie to pay ?116. Have you made any start on
:45:47. > :45:52.repaying the fine? Food is more important than paying the fine.
:45:53. > :45:56.Because I could not pay if they have sent it to a debt ting company. The
:45:57. > :46:08.private company have added penalty fees. That fine is now ?700. Why
:46:09. > :46:14.allow a fine to go up threefold when the person cannot pay to start with?
:46:15. > :46:20.It seems irresponsible. It is not as if you have taken a loan out, this
:46:21. > :46:25.is a fine. Did you know they outsourced their debts to commercial
:46:26. > :46:32.debt collectors, which means the fine is not the original fine at
:46:33. > :46:35.all? I did not know. Unable to repay a debt that has more than tripled,
:46:36. > :46:43.Jackie now faces the possibility of prison. Every time they open their
:46:44. > :46:50.mouths, some other horrendous tale comes out. This is a trap. They are
:46:51. > :46:57.trapped by their past. They could put me in jail. And that would be
:46:58. > :47:08.hard. It would be tough. I don't think I could do it now. They would
:47:09. > :47:19.miss me. I would miss them. It is not the body warmer, it is another
:47:20. > :47:22.coat. Janet and John have decided to speak to a debt adviser to find out
:47:23. > :47:34.if I'm crap see is an option to them. How much of the rent arrears?
:47:35. > :47:39.About ?4000. Do you have anything on hire purchase? Yes, we have a car,
:47:40. > :47:45.payday loans, doorstep loans, I cannot name them all. We have been
:47:46. > :47:50.advised bankruptcy is the next stage because we are going round in
:47:51. > :48:00.circles. Bankruptcy is a way of writing these debts off. They will
:48:01. > :48:05.have a big impact on your credit reference file, but for some people
:48:06. > :48:19.it can be a good option. I hope it all goes well. Thank you. I am so
:48:20. > :48:22.glad we had that phone call. A bit of pride goes out the window, I am
:48:23. > :48:48.sure, but they can start living. This will be an amazing day. Because
:48:49. > :48:56.today, Adam, I have had breakfast, I have had a heart dinner. A massive
:48:57. > :49:07.fishcake, about this big. And this is going to be my third meal. Third
:49:08. > :49:12.meal, oh my God! There you go. It is my third mail and I will try to do
:49:13. > :49:23.this everyday. Try to get a bit more fat. I have another surprise. This
:49:24. > :49:28.centre we went to, me and Jamie, I asked for a volunteering job. I
:49:29. > :49:39.asked for it and I got it. Are you happy? Sick. It is going to get me
:49:40. > :49:50.doing what I love best and I will get a hot dinner every day I
:49:51. > :50:01.volunteer. Epic. Exactly the word I was going to use, epic. Epic. Today
:50:02. > :50:06.was an amazing day. One of the first times in my life I actually went out
:50:07. > :50:18.to help another human being. I can honestly say it was one of the most
:50:19. > :50:26.rewarding things I have ever done. In Clacton, there is still no news.
:50:27. > :50:30.It is getting towards the close of play and we are awaiting a call back
:50:31. > :50:36.from Jackie's solicitor which will tell us if Jackie has got to be
:50:37. > :50:56.resentenced or go to prison. I have just text, " am I in court" ? Hello.
:50:57. > :51:08.Yes. OK, thank you very much, that is a relief. Thank you, I will do.
:51:09. > :51:16.Thank you. What has happened? I don't have too attend so it is not a
:51:17. > :51:22.prisoner ball offence, they will try to get the fine quashed, if not they
:51:23. > :51:32.will organise a repayment schedule. That is a relief. How could you not
:51:33. > :51:37.feel for that? It is an extreme situation to be in. Complete
:51:38. > :51:44.powerlessness for both of them. When you ask me the compassion for the
:51:45. > :51:49.poor, the unemployed and those on benefits, it is difficult. We have
:51:50. > :51:56.personalised this experience which makes it easy for me to feel
:51:57. > :52:08.compassion. It is very hard to see a story having a Hollywood ending. For
:52:09. > :52:15.the volunteers, the challenge is almost over. Feel like we have
:52:16. > :52:30.achieved something, I think he will carry on to do well. Don't, mate.
:52:31. > :52:37.You have done this yourself. Keep pushing forward. You have the most
:52:38. > :52:52.wonderful family Indian tyre world. Goodbye. Thank you for having me. --
:52:53. > :52:57.in the entire world. He has showed me a lot to fight for. Made me
:52:58. > :53:03.realise I need to start looking after myself so I can look after
:53:04. > :53:18.these as well. I feel like I am going to happy cry now. Goodbye
:53:19. > :53:28.sweetie. And you so much for looking after me. You have been amazing.
:53:29. > :53:36.Good luck. Goodbye. I think we have put the point across there is food
:53:37. > :53:43.poverty in Britain. You can't help get attached to people when you are
:53:44. > :53:48.living in their house. I have really enjoyed it. You know what you need
:53:49. > :53:57.to do. We know what we need to do. Take care. Thank you very much.
:53:58. > :54:02.Goodbye, guys. This is a new start and that is what I am looking
:54:03. > :54:16.forward to. Take care, thank you so much. I have laughed a lot along the
:54:17. > :54:24.way. It has given me hope. Before I did this week, I could imagine me
:54:25. > :54:35.passing Mick and Jackie and the kids in the street and thinking, typical
:54:36. > :54:43.chav family. Now, I would never look at a family like that again. It
:54:44. > :54:48.makes me feel ashamed of myself. The hungriest I have ever been. The
:54:49. > :54:52.hungriest I have ever been. When you go to bed and all you think about is
:54:53. > :54:58.food and being hungry, it is not a nice feeling. It is an empty
:54:59. > :55:05.feeling. It puts it into live as to how many people in Britain are going
:55:06. > :55:17.through this. It is incredible, really.
:55:18. > :55:34.Hello. Let me look at you. How are you? You weigh less than me. Five in
:55:35. > :55:42.one week and there is nothing of you anyway. Will I be spending money in
:55:43. > :55:52.a nightclub, I have no idea. But it has made me look at things in a
:55:53. > :55:56.different way. I understand hunger poverty far more than I thought I
:55:57. > :56:02.would understand it. It is not just because of finances, but the symptom
:56:03. > :56:05.of a lot of things. It just ends up being a vital ingredient, paying the
:56:06. > :56:21.price for food. Have you been all right, you lot?
:56:22. > :56:24.These people, I have part of their lives. That means something in my
:56:25. > :56:54.book. Mum? Well done. I am now back in the company of the
:56:55. > :56:57.rich and I can spend ?100 on dinner and I have left them in the land of
:56:58. > :57:02.the poor. I am very, very aware of that. Britain is two countries and I
:57:03. > :57:13.have just gone from one to the other. Dear Mohammed, keep fighting
:57:14. > :57:18.and don't give up. You have baby chance to make it, Jamie. -- every
:57:19. > :58:09.chance to make it. Sport Relief money is at work
:58:10. > :58:13.tonight all around the UK. It is supporting food items, breakfast
:58:14. > :58:17.clubs and the whole of the range of projects like what you have seen in
:58:18. > :58:20.this programme. You could be making a difference to families living
:58:21. > :58:22.around the corner to
