Episode 1
Series in which couples living with their parents or in-laws test drive their own place. This episode features Ollie and Sophie from Cambourne, and Welsh couple Lewis and Beth.
Hotel of Mum and Dad is back - giving some of the UK's most lairy and lazy young couples the chance to move out from their easy life at home - and spend a week fending for themselves, living in a place of their own.
In this series, each couple will find the going that bit tougher, as they are set a series of household challenges, designed to test just how ready for independent life they really are. Will a broken boiler end up breaking hearts? Will organising a stressful house-warming party be music to everyone's ears? Or could a flat-pack table cause more than the odd screw to come loose?
We meet lairy lovebirds Ollie and Sophie from Cambourne, and Welsh body-building couple Lewis and Beth.
Ollie moved in with Sophie six months ago, and now her full-on family are driving them both up the wall. There are constant arguments between the six people that live under the one roof, leaving the couple no peace, quiet or privacy. Sophie's parents have also reached the end of their tether with the noise and the mess, refusing to even enter their kids' rooms.
Sophie and Ollie are hardly shrinking violets - they bicker with the best of them, but seem to think that life in a flat will be heaven on earth. When they move out, how long will Ollie be prepared to keep the peace? Will fiery Sophie be able to keep her temper in check?
In south Wales, pumped-up pair Beth and Lewis are forced to sleep in a fold-out bed in the living room, which doesn't do much for a romantic relationship, plus their body-building lifestyle means that they are protein addicts, spending a fortune on meat and eating Beth's parents out of house and home. This muscly couple are desperate for their privacy and a chance to take their relationship to the next level.
But will moving out be child's play for these big kids? With a series of household challenges to overcome, will independent life turn sour when Lewis and Beth are forced to rely on just each other for the week?
