Millionaire teenager James has never gone hungry in his life - but a family-of-four do when he wastes their food budget.
As part of a social experiment on Rich Kids Go Skint, the 19-year-old American moves in with the Whibley family, who are struggling on the breadline.
It's something which privileged James can't relate to, having grown up on a a five-acre multi-million dollar estate in Ohio with space for a pool and forest area.
The self-confessed caviar lover has his £40,000-a-year living costs and £1,900-a-month London apartment rent paid for by his parents while he studies business at Regents Park University.
James admit he loves living in a "posh area" and is always going out to bars, clubs and restaurants to splash out cash from the bank of mum and dad.
"When I'm in a club, I could easily spend £2,000. I feel bad about that sometimes but yeah, it's not my money," he says.
James admits he sometimes feels like an "alien" living in the UK and he can no longer drive his most treasured possession - a £30,000 vintage Ford Mustang.
To top it all off, his family also own a revolutionary flag from the Civil War which is valued at around £3.7million and even have a street named after them in Cincinnati.
In contrast, the Whibley family from Gillingham, Kent have to get by on just £100-a-month after paying £800 in rent and other bills.
Nurse Sherry and stay-at-home dad Stuart, who suffers from chronic pain condition fibromyalgia after a bad accident at work, live in a two-bed terrace with their daughters Sharlie, 19, and Skye, 9.
Being a single income household adds to their pain and they have just £50-a-week to spend on food, while James won't think twice about forking out £200-a-week for himself.
James gets a shock when he arrives at the Whibley's home and spots a sign outdoors saying 'Beware of the Pig'.
The family share their home with their pet pig, Sam, who was supposed to be a micro pig but clearly wasn't and now lives in their living room.
One of James' first duties is to clean out the stinky pig poo in the garden, which doesn't go exactly to plan as he ends up stepping in some filth in his expensive trainers.
Rather than his normal luxurious bed, James spends the week sleeping on the sofa next to his room mates - snoring pig Sam and their two dogs.
When asked if he's ever slept with a pig before, James jokes: "Yeah, my ex!"
But his biggest challenge comes when he is thrown in at the deep end and sent to the shops with a strict budget of £5 to feed everyone dinner.
When Sherry admits the worst case scenario is James coming back with a frozen pizza, Stuart replies: ""Or there won't be enough to go around for everyone. Are we going to go starving tonight? I might!"
Stuart may have tempted fate as the rich teenager decides to make burgers, despite the pre-made ones costing almost £5 alone in the local shop.
Rather than change to a different meal, James chooses to buy four burgers and buns for £4.25 but realises that's not enough and decides that he'll either order in something different or go hungry.
James comes 75p under budget, but decided to treat himself to two packs of his favourite beers for £10, which would be the entire families' food budget for a day.
Once he starts unpacking the bags, the family worry there won't be enough to cook a substantial meal for everyone.
"I was a bit shocked," admits Sherry. "£5 on four burgers for our dinner. We might have to have a takeaway! That just goes to prove he's used to cooking for himself and not a family and he's more interested in meat."
James points out he usually has lettuce, gherkins and cheese with a burger, while Sherry says he could have got cheap pasta and mince to make a massive spaghetti bolognese.
But Sherry is pleased that he was trying to give them an "American experience" and wants to show off his cooking skills.
James actually does end up with a burger because daughter Sharlie doesn't eat burgers - and despite the "minimal" portion they are big fans of the food.
"It was divine," admits Stuart. "I just wish there was more!"
During his time with the Whilbeys, James does his fair share of the household chores and takes them out for a meal in a cafe.
Sherry says James is worried about what people think of him and doesn't want to shout out or show off, but tells him to be honest and himself as they will accept him
Stuart admits: "He hasn't wanted to boast about anything he has and it's taken a lot for us to grill him and find out exactly who he is."
While discussing his childhood, James reveals he has had traumatic experiences of his own which have shaped him.
This leads Sherry to open up on her own dark times as the pair share an incredible bonding moment.
"You've taught me to have the bravery to try things out even if it's scarier. Given me the buzz to try things. I've seen great things in you and if I'd had a son I would have liked to have had one like you," says a tearful Sherry.
James says: "When Sherry said I was like a son to her in a way it just made me think of my mum and how she is to me. And I think she'd be proud of me."
There's another surprise in store when James comes down the stairs and finds the living room has been turned into a nightclub with flashing lights and a massive speaker.
When it's time to leave, James admits he has come to see the family as friends and has learned to open up.
During a heartfelt farewell, James reveals he has bought the family a bottle of champagne, some mugs and a Cincinnati university jersey for youngest daughter Skye.
While Sherry presents James with a heart-shaped ornament which reads: "The most important time is family time."
"We're all the same, just different circumstances, but it doesn't make us any different," says a tearful Sherry.
"I've never had a son. That used to upset me. Now I feel like I've got that feeling. He doesn't have his family in England so he's always welcome."
Even James is emotional when he leaves the house and vows to make changes in his life.
"I've definitely made a new group of friends here and I'm going to stay in contact with them," adds James.
"I'm going to be more curious of people now whatever their wealth. They helped me to be more open-minded in a way."
