Rich House, Poor House star exposes ‘fake’ reality of hit show
A former star of the reality TV show Rich House, Poor House has shared behind the scenes revelations about how the show was filmed.
Terri-Ann Nunns appeared on the show on Channel 5 back in 2019, with Rich House, Poor House seeing a wealthy family and a less well-off family swapping houses for a few days.
They had taken up temporary residence in her six bedroom mansion complete with a hot tub, which she had been living in at the time.
Terri-Ann made a lot of money from her successful business on diet and lifestyle after going on a weight loss journey and losing seven stone.

The business, Terri Ann's 123 Plan, saw major success, racking up around 50,000 members and allowing her to make a whopping £500,000 a year.
Part of the episode when Terri-Ann appeared on the show included spending a 'night away', which meant the family staying in her home would go to a luxury caravan that she owned for a night.
But in a video on TikTok Terri-Ann has claimed that the family didn't actually stay the night in the caravan, but just went there for a bit before returning to the enormous house.
Taking to the social media platform, she said: “If anyone has watched Rich House Poor House, you swap houses with the rich family and the poorer family.
“They went to the caravan, we pulled it onto a lovely site for them. The only thing was – they didn’t even sleep in the caravan."
She went on to say that this was 'the only thing that I thought was a bit wrong with the show'.
"They went, had some fish and chips, laid about the caravan, went to the park, and then came home and that’s what they filmed," she said.
“So they didn’t even get the opportunity to enjoy a stay in our caravan, which made me a bit sad because I thought, ‘The kids would have loved it. It would have been really good'."
Nonetheless, she did add that this was 'the only bad thing I would say about the experience', adding that 'everything else was really good'.
Terri-Ann had managed to work up from living in a council house to the enormous mansion, as well as designer clothes, luxury holidays, and a Range Rover.
At the time of the show she lived with her husband Michael and three children Arlo, Aamaya, and Aaleyah, and had a monthly budget of £5,600 a month.
She had previously opened up about having trouble with a neighbour, claiming that they had looked down on her as she had not come from a posh background.
In a separate video on her TikTok page, she said: “We bought this house, and then I had offices built in the back garden, it was just amazing.
“But then I had a new neighbor and he were a doctor and he weren’t very nice."
She added: “I think personally he could not stand the fact, like, I’m just me. I’m not posh, I’m just me.
“I’ll never change, I’ve always been from a council estate, always been rough and ready, professional, but can be rough and ready as well. And he just couldn’t stand us.”
