Despite wishing she was older before becoming a mum, Natasha's long-term relationship with boyfriend Jordan is standing up to pressure. Living with Jordan's parents, over-crowding is a serious issue - the young couple have to share a room with their baby and Jordan's 14-year-old brother Connor. Poverty strikes as the couple try and live with a few pounds left over after bills. Will Jordan be able to provide for his young family or will real life pressures prove to be too much for them?
