Posh couple used to £12k breaks last five minutes on Zante strip night out in Rich Holiday, Poor Holiday
The wealthy duo have had 29 holidays in the two years they've been together POOR SHOW Posh couple used to £12k breaks last five minutes on Zante strip night out in Rich Holiday, Poor Holiday A RICH COUPLE used to champagne dinners on a yacht lasted five minutes on the Zante strip in Channel 5's Rich Holiday, Poor Holiday. James and Isabella, both in their 30s, lead a glamorous life in Barcelona, and have had a whopping 29 holidays during their two-year relationship. 4 James and Isabella lead a lavish life in Barcelona Credit: Channel 5 4 They were not impressed with the budget Zante accomodation Credit: Channel 5 4 Isabella struggled to cope with the party lifestyle Credit: Channel 5 Superyacht broker James and lawyer Isabella think nothing of spending £12,000 on a single trip, so got the shock of their life when they were sent on a budget break to the Zante strip. The jetsetting duo, who describe being in a nightclub as their personal hell were horrified to discover that they would be staying in a "stinky" self-catered apartment right in the centre of the Greek Island's party capital Laganas. Used to five-star comfort, the couple described the bed as like "laying on a piece of wood", and the bathroom as "disgusting". "I believe this is way out of anybody's comfort zone", Brazilian beauty Isabella said, looking visibly repulsed. The couple considered throwing the towel in before they'd even stayed one night in the hotel, despite their holiday companions, cash strapped single mums Gemma and Stacey describing the place as "lovely". The Hertfordshire besties, both 44, and the posh couple got off to a rocky start, with James declaring to the camera that the women are "not our type of people". And James and Isabella couldn't believe their ears when they found out that their budget for the trip would be just 135 euros. "That's usually what we spend on one dinner", Isabella said. After probing more in to the couple's lavish lifestyle, Gemma and Stacey, who both struggle to feed the six kids they have between them on their £1000 a month Universal Credit money, were left gobsmacked to learn that James and Isabella have £5,000 a month in disposable income. Used to dining on salmon and avocado, the wealthy duo were less than impressed when party lovers Gemma and Stacey ordered them both a full English. Single mum surviving on just £125 a MONTH after bills fights tears at £250-a-night hotel on Rich Holiday, Poor Holiday "It's not healthy", said Isabella, turning her nose up at the fry up. However, the couple were given a reality check after seeing Gemma and Stacey, who sometimes can't even afford a tin of beans, haggle to get their breakfast's cheaper. "It's not an easy life for them", Isabella realised. Despite at first being unwilling to join in, Isabella and James did admit to having fun at a budget day out to a waterpark. However, their worst nightmare came true when Gemma and Stacey dragged them out to a night on the strip. After being disgusted by the neon lights and cheap shots on offer at the nightclubs, Isabella and James decided to make a French exit before even entering a single bar. Sick of living on the cheap, the couple blew their strict budget, and spent £40 a takeaway. "This is the best part of the holiday", James said. Despite admitting that the trip wasn't up their street at all, the posh pair did admit that the break had really made them think about the value of money.
