A skint dad-of-two living on £66 a week in a one-bed council flat was reduced to tears after being offered a job by a young multimillionaire on Rich House, Poor House.
Harry Saunders, 24, who is from Australia, runs a successful SEO business which is worth an estimated £12million.
But while the young entrepreneur owns several properties around the globe and enjoys a monthly disposable income of £6,000, he hasn't always been in such a privileged position…after finding himself homeless aged just 17.
"I had no money, literally nothing," he recalled. "This experience helped shape me.
"It's probably the reason that I am successful because I kind of went through that kind of hardship, I had to build that resilience, I didn't have another choice or another option."
In last night's episode of the Channel 5 show, Harry was seen swapping homes with dad-of-two Angel Blanco Lista, who shares a one-bed flat with his wife Santana and their son, four, and daughter, two, in Notting Hill Gate.

The family explained how the're in £9,000 debt, with Angel working shifts at a Leylands shop and relying on Universal Credit to help put food on the table.
With just £66-per-week to feed the family, Angel revealed that he slept on the floor so that he could be in the same room as his family – something which he admitted was "getting a bit of a nightmare."

Angel also explained how he'd attempted to launch his own digital marketing agency a few years ago, but had to give it up after it failed to make enough money to support his family.
Meanwhile, stay-at-home mum Santana also had dreams of her own – setting up her own skincare business.

"When I come home I'm just so exhausted, I don't have the energy or the time to invest into the business I actually want to get into," she explained.
"We just need that support, we need somebody to push us, to be there for us, someone who's already been there."
Harry was impressed after hearing how Angel had once attempted to launch kickstart his own digital agency career, and explained how a businessman had taken a chance on him by funding an idea he pitched during a business meetingwhen he was just 17.
And viewers were left fighting back tears when Harry decided to offer Angel a SEO content brief role at his company.
He explained that he'd pay Angel £150 for each brief – and would offer him several a month so that he could earn enough money to support his family.
"I'm blessed to give you the opportunity to help your family,' the CEO told Angel.
Harry also promised to help Santana with her skincare product business and reassured: "It doesn't matter where I am in the world, I will be around, to guide you through and to help you guys make this work."
The CEO's generosity touched the hearts of viewers, with many taking to Twitter following the episode.
"Wow, Harry is such an amazing person," praised one. "It's people like Harry who deserve to make it.
"He never gave up and now he's successful. Hopefully the same happens for Angel and Santana."
