Five become four in the second part of this documentary exploring homelessness in Britain. Beaten by the whole experience of living rough in London, the Marquis of Blandford quits for the home comforts of Blenheim Palace on day three.

Rosie Boycott, Hardeep Singh Kohli, Annabel Croft and Bruce Jones have been stripped of all their money and personal possessions and are experiencing life on the streets first hand. They have slept in doorways, queued at soup kitchens and begged for spare change. They are tired, emotional, dirty and hungry, and now they are seeing life from the perspective of a homeless 'buddy'.

The celebrities spend three nights living with a homeless buddy, each with a history of abuse, drink or drug problems. But emotions run high as the four struggle to cope in this harsh environment, and there are tears and clashes before the week is out

The strain is beginning to show as the lack of sleep, food and no longer being treated like a human being starts to take its toll, causing clashes, tears and full-blown arguments. Show less
