Have just caught a bit of this on C4.

As I understand it, uberchav couple who were on WifeSwap have 9 kids, neither work, claim 30k in benefits.

This programme seems to involve them "proving" that they can run a B&B for a month.

Great, so when they've proved they can work, will they be denied any more benefits and told to pay back the money that they've been given whilst scrounging? Or will they be signing straight back on? :ranting:

In all seriousness, the wife appeared to be reasonably bright. Probably more than she gives herself credit for.

they are truly awful,

but it was quite funny the other night, because Dominic Diamond spent his whole time (supposedly helping her) taking the piss.
