Do you live in a cramped suburban semi-detached house in Northern Ireland?

Do you want to ditch your desk job for the great outdoors?

Kate Humble is hosting a new television series for Channel 5 and is looking for people in Northern Ireland to take part.

Twice The Life for Half The Price is an aspirational life change series for families looking for the ultimate quality of life. It is being made by Glasgow based production company, Raise the Roof Productions, partly owned by Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer, and Motion Content Group.

The six-part series is earmarked for transmission later in the year and is looking for families in Northern Ireland who are desperate to leave the rat race behind and radically transform their quality of life.

This could be moving to run a smallholding, a B&B, or a job outdoors - under the guidance of presenter Kate Humble.

Kate Humble said: “Over a decade ago I made a big move, waved goodbye to life in the city and set up home in rural Wales. It was a huge change and even though I had grown up in the country, I soon discovered I had lots to learn. I am really looking forward to meeting the families who are about to undertake this same journey, following their progress and hopefully being able to help and support them along the way. Will leaving behind the hubbub of city life help them achieve their dream of Twice the Life?”
