Wallen Family

Episode 7 of 24

Series in which families try out life overseas. Greg Wallen is in love with New Zealand. Will it hold the same appeal for him now he has got a wife and child in tow?

Greg Wallen fell in love with New Zealand while travelling in the country as a backpacker. On his return 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 are married, living in Sheffield, and Greg's a loving stepfather to three-year-old Evie, but his dream of living the Kiwi lifestyle hasn't disappeared, leaving Jenni faced with a massive decision. Will a trial week in Auckland convince her that what the country can offer is worth sacrificing close family ties at home? And will New Zealand still hold the same appeal for Greg when he has a wife and child in tow?
