Penny Blyth
Penny lives in Swansea with husband Kristian and their 2 year old son: Harvey.
Q: Why did you want to be on Wife Swap?
A: I didn't really, I fill in lots of different applications and competitions online, just for a bit of fun. I didn't think I'd be selected for the show, I was very surprised and flattered.
Q: What parts of the swap did you enjoy?
A: I enjoyed getting out of the house and when we went out to play skittles and I enjoyed being with the children when they behaved. Giving Martin and Luke a makeover was fun too.
Q: What parts of the swap did you find difficult?
A: The thing I felt most difficult was the general smell of the house because I can't stand animals and the fact that my room was really small with a lack of privacy, as the kids kept running in and out. Also the lack of makeup in the first week.
Q: How did your family cope with the swap?
A: Very difficult, my little boy Harvey was happy because the whole crew where very nice to him but my husband didn't enjoy having his lifestyle messed with, although he admits the overall experience was positive.
Q: Do you relate to your family differently?
A: Yes, I don't take them for granted so much now, and I tend to try and enjoy each day with family more so now. I feel I have become a better mother after the experience.
Q: Has it changed you at all?
A: Yes, I think more through Harvey's eyes now and I aim to be a better mother in general. I would say that I'm maybe not as self-conscious as I was before.

Penny Roberts
Penny lives in Devon with her partner Martin, and her three children: Luke (11), Sadie (8) and Katie (7).
Q:Why did you want to be on Wife Swap?
A: I applied for the show because I wanted my family to appreciate me more as they are generally quite untidy and take what I do for granted. Although I didn't think I'd be picked.
Q: What parts of the swap did you enjoy?
A: Not much, the main thing I did enjoy was spending time with Harvey, he is a lovely boy crying out for attention.
Q: What parts of the swap did you find hardest?
A: I found it difficult leaving my family that was the hardest thing. I hated having to wear that makeup and Kristian was a bit of a moron, he'd just agree with everything I'd say. I found the first week very difficult.
Q: How did your family cope with the swap?
A: They found it quite difficult. Penny didn't feed or look after the pets properly and was always complaining about the animals. She did no cleaning, the place was disgusting and my family was fed up of microwave meals.
Q: Do you relate to your family differently?
A: Not really, I've just realised how lucky I am to have my family and I think they appreciate me more now.
Q: Has it changed you at all?
A: No, it has made me aware that I am more normal than what I thought before. I am very happy with my life because I have a strong family.
