A MUM who starred on Rich House, Poor House has revealed how she has turned her life around thanks to the help of a millionaire.
Kiptieu Sheriff, from South-East London, swapped lives with wealthy businessman Adam Stott for a week last year for the Channel 5 show.
The pair’s living expenses couldn’t have been more different, with newly-unemployed mum-of-three Kiptieu struggling on just £70-a-week after bills.
Millionaire business consultant Adam, meanwhile, had a disposable income of £1,600 a week.
But in the latest episode of the popular show, Kiptieu – who at rock bottom couldn’t afford to buy her child a birthday present – has revealed the huge U-turn she has made to her life since meeting Adam.
At the end of their first encounter last year, viewers saw Adam kindly offer Kiptieu the chance to launch her own business.
He said he would fund the keen cook’s venture and promised to help out with both advertising and creating her very own website.
Having taken him up on his incredible offer, Kiptieu has her own commercial kitchen and is running her own food company called Bongo’s Kitchen.
Adam, meanwhile, still helps out behind the scenes.
“I do the cooking and he does the marketing – and God, he is doing it well!” Kiptieu told the cameras in the catch-up episode.
“When an opportunity like this knocks on your door, you go for it.”
Kiptieu and Adam were shown recording a short social media video together, while standing in Bongo’s Kitchen HQ.
The single mum, who has three daughters, said: “I’m a living example that dreams really do come true.”
Kiptieu confirmed her income is now 10 times greater than what it was a year ago. Adam said they wanted to get to “1000 times”.
The businessman also admitted he has been inspired to help more people out since appearing on Rich House, Poor House.
“I love helping people and making an impact. Now I know this really is my purpose,” he said.
