After appearing on Wife Swap Lizzy and Mark Bardsley were branded spongers and layabouts. Their income from state benefits for themselves and their eight kids was over £37,000. The tabloids labelled them 'Britain's laziest couple.' But they have always argued that they are grafters who have fallen on hard times. Bed & Bardsleys is Lizzy and Mark's opportunity to prove their critics wrong.
They have been challenged to run a Blackpool bed and breakfast for two weeks unaided. Its up to them to get up early every day to make breakfast, clean the rooms, work the bar and keep their guests happy. For Lizzy it's no easy task holding her tongue when an endless succession of demanding guests troop in her door. Tonight, two glamorous London 'it girls' are unceremoniously thrown out onto the street amid a volley of shouting and abuse, and when four Japanese tourists turn up Lizzy reveals some language skills of her own! But things aren't going to plan as Mark seems to be doing all the work while Lizzy thinks it's a holiday every day.

So the fat slapper is back on our screens. Who will be looking after their 8 kids?
