Young, Dumb And Living Off Mum

In Young, Dumb And Living Off Mum, a group of 17 to 20 year olds who have been waited on hand and foot all their lives by their worn and weary parents are thrust into the adult world of responsibility, budgeting and hard work. Living on a basic weekly budget, the overgrown children experience a new way of life, which is a far cry from their previously pampered lifestyles. Competing in work challenges set by their parents to test various factors of maturity – from team work, creativity, cooperation and resilience to good old-fashioned hard work – they try prove themselves capable of independence. Ruby-Jo, Sophie, Jack, Gracie, Ryan, Jade, Tom and Enzo get a shock to the system as they find themselves in the real world. Having never held down a proper job they suddenly find themselves working long hours as cleaners, kitchen staff and tour guides at one of London’s busiest youth hostels; starting work at 1am at a gruelling and freezing fish market; turning their home into a fee paying restaurant - having to cook a 3 course meal from scratch for 30 diners. These adolescents will be tested like never before in the ultimate cutting of the apron strings. Each week the parents watch exactly what the kids have been up to and the one they judge the most useless will be sent packing. For only the kid who can cut it in the world of adulthood deserves the chance to finally fly the nest, and win a prize of a round-the-world trip, as well as earning their parents’ pride.
