Ah, the Costa Blanca. Sun-drenched beaches, questionable tapas, and the enduring appeal of Brits abroad. This week’s Bargain-Loving Brits serves up a familiar cocktail of life changes, entrepreneurial spirit, and, of course, a healthy dose of canine ambition.
First up, Welsh songstress Laura Elen is finally fleeing the nest – or rather, her best mate Colin’s slightly cramped quarters – to shack up with her beau, Chef Rob. Will Rob’s culinary skills charm the skeptical Colin? More importantly, will Laura’s aggressive collection of pink décor clash with Rob’s established “man cave?”
Elsewhere, bar owners Zoe and Stephen are heeding the cries of a lonely regular and launching a friendship club. Because nothing screams “bustling social scene” like a hastily assembled gathering on what’s already shaping up to be their busiest day of the week. What could possibly go wrong?
And let’s not forget Andy and his Bichon Frise, Jose Ramon. With nearly 9,000 Instagram followers, Jose Ramon is practically an influencer. Now, Andy’s aiming to catapult the fluffy fellow into full-blown pet model stardom. Will Jose Ramon strike a pose and land a lucrative contract, or will he simply… sit there?
Tune in to witness the unfolding drama (and hopefully some decent paella) on Monday, January 13, 2025, at 4 pm on Channel 5.
