Couples living with their parents or in-laws test drive their own place. Meet lovebirds Charlie and Emma from Kent, and equally laid-back couple Katie and Brandon from Newport.

Meet lazy lovebirds Charlie and Emma from Kent, and equally laid-back couple Katie and Brandon from Newport.

Charlie lives the life of a modern-day Peter Pan, refusing to grow up and help out his long-suffering mum. Charlie has also moved his very own Tinkerbell in too; he and model girlfriend Emma spend endless days lazing around their bedroom, whilst Charlie's mum does all the cooking and cleaning and even pays all the bills.

As they move in to their own place, will our Peter Pan man up, or will his Tinkerbell lose her shine? As the challenges of independent living hit home, will this couple be able turn their dream of a fairytale life together into reality?

Katie lives with her mum, two sisters and two brothers, in a manic household where tantrums and tears are the norm. Now 16-year-old Katie has moved boyfriend Brandon in too - but they are desperate to escape the chaos and live in a pad of their own, despite their rather relaxed attitude to household chores.

When this couple finally move out, will Brandon find the job he needs to make the move permanent, and will Katie prove to her mum that she is capable of living away from home for good?
