BBC One - Wanted Down Under Revisited, Series 10, Wallen Family

After falling for New Zealand as a backpacker, Greg Wallen was desperate to return.

Greg wanted to return to New Zealand after falling in love with the country as a backpacker. Did a week in Auckland convince his wife to buy into his dream?

Greg Wallen fell in love with New Zealand while travelling in the country as a backpacker. On returning to the UK, he was just months from making a permanent return down under when a dabble in online dating saw him meet the love of his life, Jenni. Three years later the couple were married and living in Sheffield, and Greg was a loving stepfather to three-year-old Evie. But his dream of living the Kiwi lifestyle hadn't disappeared, leaving Jenni faced with a massive decision.

When the family spent a trial week in Auckland in 2015, Greg was hoping it would be enough to persuade Jenni to buy into his dream. So one year on, what side of the world do the family now call home?
