Meet the contestants of The Neighbourhood
The Bradons
Who are the Bradons? A household of five from Essex, mum Fay-Marie is a teaching assistant; son Nathan, a sales and trading director; son Lukas, a school head of safeguarding; daughter Alicia, a sales and marketing manager and Nathan's son Zach, a college student.
Our verdict: With all family members united on describing their family dynamic as "supportive," as per ITV, The Bradons seem like strong contenders.
The Kandolas and Samra
Who are the Kandolas and Samra? A blended family from Bedfordshire, mum Sunita is a drug and alcohol key worker, husband Tony is a business development manager and Sunita's son Ruben is a sales advisor.
Our verdict: Tony revealed they want to do their "best to win" so Ruben can move out - nothing drives motivation more than chucking the kids out the house, so we think they're in with a solid chance.
The Lozman-Sturrocks: Dave, Christine, Katie, and Jordan
Who are the Lozman-Sturrocks? A "close-knit" family from Darlington, the family is made up of mum Christine, a retired waitress, husband Dave, a retired production manager for a lighting company, son Jordan, an oil rig worker and his wife, Katie, a hairdresser.
Our verdict: The family emphasising they're all "very competitive"? *Gulps* if we were the other contestants, we'd certainly keep an eye out.
The Pescuds
Who are The Pescuds? From Cambridgeshire, the Pescuds are made up of dad Paul, a drug and alcohol service manager, mum Wendy, a foster carer and kids Grace and Harrison - a student and bakery retail assistant.
Our verdict: With Wendy describing the family as "quite laidback" and wanting to "stay out of the drama," could this family be the underdog of the series?
The Scouse Haus
Who are the Scouse Haus? Aptly named the Scouse Haus, the group is made up of twin sisters Louise and Lyndsey alongside Lyndsey's girlfriend Rosie. The three are all baristas and, as the name suggests, live together in Liverpool.
Our verdict: With the group wanting to put the prize money towards taking Louise and Lyndsey's mum on holiday, alongside funding Lyndsey and Rosie's IVF treatment to have a baby - they've certainly won in our hearts already.
The Uni Boys
Who are the Uni Boys? Friends who met during their first term at Nottingham Trent University, the close group is made up of business student Hadi, media student Kevin, journalism student Fahad and politics student DJ.
Our verdict: With Hadi saying the boys plan to just "take it day by day," the Uni Boys are in it to win it - slow and steady wins the race?
The Neighbourhood will air on ITV1 and STV on Friday, 24 April at 9.00pm. It will also then become available to watch on ITVX.
