Couples living with their parents or in-laws test drive a place of their own. How will bossy princess Christy cope when she's not used to lifting a finger?

We meet long-term lovers Christy and Barry who have been together for five years, and party boys Andrew and Jordan.

Fun-loving Christy lives life to the full and is saving for a boob job while 'boring' Barry has already saved his share of a house deposit. They're currently living with Barry's dad and his girlfriend in Stevenage. Both agree it's time to grow up and move out, but there's one thing that the couple are at loggerheads on - money.

When Christy and Barry move into their own place, how will bossy princess Christy cope when she's not used to lifting a finger herself? Why do it yourself when you've got other people to do it for you? How will Barry cope with being bossed around? And with Christy being surprised at being expected to pay for water, will Barry be able to get her to rein her spending in and will she put independent living with Barry before her much-wanted boob job?

In the Scottish Borders are Andrew and Jordan, who have been together for a year. They live in a crowded house with Andrew's parents and siblings. Andrew is desperate to move into their own place, but Jordan thinks paying out all that money on rent will ruin their social life.

With a drinks bill between them of around 拢800 per month and only 拢80 per month going out on rent, can Andrew really persuade Jordan they can have both a swanky party pad and a social life? And will Andrew's dad turn their bedroom into a home gym when they're gone?
