This is very skewed. Two of those women are smokers but the bias of the programme will not show this, you can tell by their skin, teeth and voices.

This is sad but if you have three children by more than one father and haven't built a career to go back to then chances are you are going to end up poor, sadly.

Its seems to me 2 of them are left with no money because they have to pay back loans that have very high interest. There stuck. When you have no money and the only way of getting it is by getting a loan ... you will I suppose :( been therere myself.

No sympathy. They took out loans, in debt thats their fault. She smokes rather than buy decent food! Fathers all absent, say no more

I just don't understand why people are literally burning money when they are so broke. I have every sympathy but just don't understand that.

They got loans to buy stuff - they admitted this. Those school meals looked very filling indeed!

DS1 (14) wanted to watch this, as he is concerned about inequality & social justice. I'm watching with him.

RJ sounds quite patronising, imo.

Cheryl seems dim and is annoying

Spencer seems dim but sweet. I've never seen made in Chelsea. He seems very nice with the kids.
