At the time, Nadine was a struggling hairdresser and relied on benefits to make ends meet.

When she met up with Katy on the show, she was gobsmacked after the mum-of-three offered to mentor her for two years and train her how to do permanent make-up.

In an episode that aired last night, Nadine appeared on Rich House, Poor House Changed My Life and said the generous couple transformed her life after just a year.

As well as helping her launch her own salon, Katy and Paul have supported Nadine in tackling her debt.
