Wife Swap: Christian Wives!
The new series of BAFTA-award-winning Wife Swap continues. This week two Christian wives with a difference swap lives for two weeks. How will the strict Christian wife of a pastor cope living as a born again Christian with no rules who gambles and drinks? And can a ‘no rules’ mum find her faith in the home of a pastor? Judith and Glen Roberts are devout Christians who follow the Bible to the letter. They have two children: nine-year-old Alice and three-year-old Layton Reece. Glen is a pastor in Huddersfield and everything he and wife Judith do is governed by God. Judith is a traditional wife, doing everything for her family from waking husband Glen in the morning with a cup of tea, to working on a mountain of chores in the home.
Dawn and Scott French are also Christians, but they have a very different take on religion. They have three children, two-year-old daughter Summer and Dawn’s two sons, nine-year-old Ashton and 11-year-old Bradley. Dawn is a far from traditional wife, there are no rules in the house, she rarely cooks and she leaves all of the cleaning to husband Scott. Dawn doesn’t let being a mum get in the way of having fun and often spends time gambling in the bookies or playing bingo with her friends. She also likes a good drink and will often consume at least a bottle of vodka on a night out with the girls.
Can strict Christian mum Judith cope in a house with no rules? Will fun-loving Dawn be able to live as a traditional housewife? How will Judith’s principles be put to the test when she is asked to drink and gamble? And can Pastor Glen help Dawn find her faith? Wife Swap: The Aftermath follows immediately afterwards on E4.
