Wife Swap: When The Police get Called In!
It’s the penultimate episode of the series and this week there’s an extraordinary swap between Melissa from Wiltshire and Noelie from Doncaster, where viewers will find out what happens when a Wife Swap goes wrong. Noelie Klineberg is the doting partner of millionaire Robin Goforth. They’ve been together for five years and they live on the outskirts of Doncaster with Nolie’s 17-year-old son Danny and Robin’s 16 year-old-son Adam. Appearances are important in the Klineberg household, and Noelie keeps the house and herself in perfect condition and is accustomed to a glamorous lifestyle. On top of all of that, Noelie also takes care of Robin’s every need from running his bath to ironing his boxer shorts, while Robin runs a string of businesses from petrol stations to used cars.
Melissa and Adam have been married for twelve years. They live in Wiltshire with their two children, eight-year-old Milly and Phoebe who’s ten. Six years ago the family gave up city life swapping it for a more idyllic way of living in the country and have turned their home into a shrine for green values. How will Noelie cope with a household where domestic cleaning products are banned, lunches are organic, and sparkly is only for special occasions? And how will Melissa cope with running bubble baths for Robin in a household where take-aways are the norm?
Come rule change, however the swap broke down and the couples went home. Even after that there was an extraordinary twist. The police got involved and the story made front page news.
