In the first episode of Wife Swap series five, Carrie from Lancashire and Bridget from Northampton trade places for 10 days.
Carrie and husband John live with their children Saskia and Jansen, but their marriage is at an all-time low. Ex-party girl Carrie has given up her job as a hairdresser and feels trapped in the house with the kids, trying to keep the home up to John's demanding standards.
By comparison, Bridget and Mike are living their rural ideal, running their own sheep farm near the village where Bridget grew up. Can the wives cope in their radically different new environments? And will two weeks on a farm give Carrie the confidence she needs to change her life and her marriage?
