Welcome to The Neighbourhood – where ‘Keep Your Enemies Close’ is not just a mantra, but the actual name of the street!

Six households are all fighting for popularity, with their fate in the hands of their new neighbours. But with £250,000 on the line, it will take more than some good gossip to win, it’ll also take some double-crossing when push comes to shove.

Speaking ahead of series launch, Ed Daggett, development executive at Lifted Entertainment, shared they deliberately avoided people with celebrity attachments so they can get a sense of true British communities.

“They’re all real people,” he said. “I think we want there to be that authentic relatable thing across the whole series. We want people watching the show to say, ‘they’re just like us’, they’re just like those people who live over the road. And so we’re trying to keep it as sort of down to earth in that regard.”

Fronted by Graham Norton, the new series is set within a picturesque Derbyshire village, complete with a lake, café and pub.

Across 11 episodes, homes will be evicted, friendships will be tested, and bonds will be broken to come out on top.

So, who is are the households willing to take on The Neighbourhood for the first ever season? Here’s everything you need to know.

The Campbell Grahams

Members:

Thai, 20, Hospitality & catering
Donna, 43, Firefighter
Ken, 43, Youth mentor & sports coach

Donna and Ken are joined by their daughter Thai, who they joked “forced” them to take part in the series, but Thai notes: “They weren’t forced – they just didn’t have a choice!”

“Thai came to us and said to us about it,” Donna explained. “At first, we didn’t think we could do it because of getting time off work. We saw her face and she wasn’t very happy! We went to work and asked if we could have time off, and they said yes. That was it!”

Heading into The Neighbourhood, there isn’t much of a strategy from the Campbell Grahams as they plan to “enjoy the experience”.

The Pescuds

A family of four are sitting on steps in a town square. Wendy, on the left, is wearing a pink shirt and red trousers, with husband Paul in a floral shirt next to him, leaning on his knee. Behind him is son Harrison, who is in a brown shirt and black trousers, and in front of him is daughter Grace, who is in a white shirt and jeans with her arms crossed over her stomach as she sits — The Pescuds Family on The Neighbourhood.ITV

Members:

Paul, 51, Drug & Alcohol Service Manager
Wendy, 55, Foster Carer
Grace, 18, Student
Harrison, 25, Bakery Retail Assistant

From: Cambridgeshire

Paul and Wendy are joined by their children Grace and Harrison for their time in The Neighbourhood.

They plan to split the money equally if they win, with Wendy hoping she can recover from knee replacement surgery somewhere sunny like the Caribbean before going travelling with Paul.

“Me and Paul always said about travelling around Europe, that would be amazing,” she said. “And to help my kids have a start in life, that was a major part of it – it’s tough for young people out there.”

Grace also hopes to go travelling, while Harrison plans to start a family of his own – intending to spend the cash on a new car, and potentially an engagement ring for his girlfriend.

The Lozman-Sturrocks

A family of four are standing in front of a row of houses. They are in two couples – on the left is Dave in a yellow shirt and black trousers, with his arm on the shoulder of his wife Christine, who is wearing a yellow floral shirt and a jean skirt. On the right is Katie, who is a redhead with glasses, a white shirt and black jeans, and Jordan, in a pink shirt and black stonewash jeans — The Lozman-Sturrocks in The Neighbourhood.ITV

Members:

Katie, 29, Hairdresser
Jordan, 34, Oil Rig Worker
Christine, 72, Retired Waitress
Dave, 67, Retired Production Manager for a Lighting Company

From: Darlington

The Lozman-Sturrocks are a two-generation household. Christine is married to husband Dave, with their son Jordan married to wife Katie.

Christine and Dave wanted to take part to represent an older generation on a reality show, and spend more time with their family.

However, they have very different ideas about how they want to spend the £250,000 prize if they get it.

While Dave would be happy with new vinyl records, Christine intends to use it to party.

“I’d go travelling while he’s at home playing his records!” she said. “I’d be rolled in glitter in Ibiza. Nobody would know you were 72 if you’re on a podium rolled in glitter!”

The Uni Boys

Four boys, aged between 20 and 21, pose together in a town square. All four have straight faces, two in black jeans and two in light blue jeans. — The Uni Boys household in The Neighbourhood.ITV

Members:

Hadi, 23, Business Student
Kevin, 21, Media Student
Fahad, 21, Journalism Student
DJ, 21, Politics Student

From: Nottingham

These four students all first met during their first term at Nottingham Trent University, forming a close bond and now a household.

The idea to be on the show was spearheaded by Fahad, who brought the group together and believes he picked the right team for the competition.

All four share a love of football and admit they’re quite competitive when they want to be – though hope to spend the prize money on securing their futures, paying off student debts, and helping their families.

Fahad said: “If we win the money, I think we could maybe get a house together and start investing in ourselves. When I came to this country, I didn’t have anything to do after school. I used to work at charity events, so working there helped me fit into the country. If I did win the £250,000, I’d like to give back to the community through the charity because they helped me.”

Kevin said he’s like to help his mum pay off her mortgage, while DJ said he wanted to invest the funds into his music career.

“If we won the money, I’d support my family and the second thing would be to support myself through my journey in the UK as an international,” added Hadi.

“I came here as a stranger by myself. We could invest in this family – The Uni Boys family! We could show the world who we are.”

The Kandolas and Samra

Members:

Sunita, 51, Drug & Alcohol Key Worker
Tony, 57, Business Development Manager
Ruben, 24, Sales Advisor

From: Bedfordshire

A blended family, the household is composed of mum Sunita, her husband Tony, and the youngest of Sunita’s three sons, Ruben.

Tony joked that he hoped spending time in The Neighbourhood would give Ruben the push he needs to move out of the family home – and if they win, a large chunk of the money would go on him getting his own house.

Sunita added: “For me, it was really important to represent our community and to highlight we’re a blended family. Between us we’ve got six adult kids and grandchildren.

“We wanted to break away from the stigma that Asian women should be a certain way.”

Declaring themselves “fun, honest and loud”, Sunita is a proud cook, admitting she brought home comforts and a large chunk of her kitchen in order to settle into their house on KeepYourEnemies Close.

The Bradons

A family of five pose in a town square, smiling for the camera.

Fay is on the left, sitting in a lime dress, while Zach leans his arm on her knee. Nathan, in a pink shirt, is crouched on the steps on the right. — The Bradon family in The NeighbourhoodITV

Members:

Fay-Marie, 69, Teaching Assistant
Nathan, 45, Sales & Trading Director
Lukas, 37, School Head of Safeguarding
Alicia, 29, Sales & Marketing Manager
Zach, 17, College Student

From: Essex

The Bradons are a three-generation household. Head of the household is matriarch Fay-Marie, with her three adult children Alicia, Lukas and Nathan, with Nathan’s son Zach completing the collective in The Neighbourhood.

Nathan hopes the experience will bring them all closer, explaining: “I think it was an opportunity for us all to be together, to spend that time intimately within the household because a lot of us are often away with work and things like that.

“We wanted that opportunity to have that time together, bonding and of course there was the opportunity to win £250,000 which would be very beneficial to all members of the family!”

Zach hopes to spend the money on a new car if he wins, as well as preparing him to go to university, while Alicia and Lukas hope to pay for their respective weddings.

Mum Fay-Marie’s dream is to have an annex built on her house.

The Scouse Haus

Two blonde twin sisters – one wearing a lemon top and shorts and the other wearing gingham shorts, red tights, a white shirt and tie and a denim jacket – stand on either side of a brunette woman – who is wearing an open shirt over a long-sleeve white shirt and trousers and has her arms crossed, all three are smiling for the camera. — The Scouse Haus in The NeighbourhoodITV

Members:

Louise, 25, Barista
Lyndsey, 25, Barista
Rosie, 28, Barista

From: Liverpool

Twin sisters Louise and Lyndsey already live together alongside Lyndsey’s girlfriend, Rosie, at their native Liverpool.

This trio of baristas believe their tight-knit connection will work in their favour in the game.

On what makes them such a good team, Rosie explained: “I think the way we’ve got each other’s backs. Not in a way where we’ll blindly egg each other on to do whatever we want to do, but in a way that we’re close enough to say, ‘I don’t think you should say or do that’.”

The twins hope to take their mum on holiday to make memories if they win, while Rosie hopes the money can go towards laying a foundation for the future.

“Where I am now in my life, I’m hitting dead ends and that money would be life changing for me,” she said.

“I’d be able to put a deposit down on a house, and think about getting IVF treatment to have a baby at some point in my life. And getting married would be a possibility because where I’m at now, it’s not.”

The Neighbourhood continues on Saturrday 25 April at 9pm on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player.
