Episode 12 of 20

Series in which families experience a trial week living in Australia or New Zealand. Can a daughter persuade her mum to move with her to New Zealand?

18-year-old Richelle and her mum Lorraine do everything together, but Richelle's dream to move to New Zealand means the pair could spend the rest of their lives on opposite sides of the world.

Richelle has one week in Auckland to persuade Lorraine that moving to New Zealand would be worth leaving her mum behind in Wales. And that's not all - for Lorraine, starting a new life at the age of 50 is a daunting prospect.

Will Lorraine's concerns be addressed or will Richelle and Lorraine's close bond be broken for good?
