Episode 5

Gregg Wallace and Chris Bavin help families across the UK eat well for less. Gregg and Chris face a challenge in Derby with a family who are stuck in a rut with their food habits.

Gregg and Chris have their work cut out with a fussy family from Derby who are stuck in a rut with their food habits, and whose fruit and veg consumption is nowhere near the recommended five-a-day. Chris visits a fruit farmer and factory to find out if canned fruit could help.

Mum Sarah lives with her 11-year-old twins Sam and Alex, who are extremely fussy and reluctant to try new foods - Sam and Alex won't even eat family staples such as rice, pasta and potatoes and instead live on the same five meals, which all come out of a packet. Born with spinal muscular atrophy type 2, a rare genetic neuromuscular condition, Sam and Alex are both in wheelchairs, so Sarah understandably relies on convenience foods to try and save time. It is coming at a cost though. Can Gregg and Chris convince Sam and Alex to try new foods and persuade Sarah to ditch her favourite brands?
