The Channel 4 show sees Scarlette and her brother Stuart work alongside George to help six teams of budding property developers.

The pairs are given a whopping £100K investment to kickstart their business, competing against each other to see who can make the most profit from property in just 12 months.
Scarlette – who viewers will also know from her presenting role on A Place in the Sun – has been a property developer for many years alongside her brother Stuart.
While the siblings believe it’s important to “take the emotion out” of such a business, they couldn’t help but get choked up over one particular moment on the show.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun Online, Stuart said: “On the very first episode that’s been aired, Pamela and Gordon, the profit that they made didn’t reflect the hard work, determination and effort that they put in.
“And for me, I had a lump in my throat because we saw what they went through.
“Don’t get me wrong, they didn’t lose money. But for their hard work and their endeavour and their determination, and their sheer willpower, it really deserved a greater profit.
“Yeah, I really felt for them. I really did.”
Scarlette agreed, saying: “Yes, I think that’s the moment that everyone on that show would say has been the most emotional because even Harriet, who was in the lead at that point, started crying because people just saw how much work they’ve put into it like Stuart said, and they looked broken.

“You know when you see someone they look so tired, Gordon had a full time job as well and just trying to do everything.
“But I think that was the moment for everyone where they thought, this is not a joke. This is very, very hard.
“And there are times when you can literally make the smallest amount of profit or you can make a loss, you know, which they didn’t do luckily but it felt like a loss because of the amount of work and man hours they put in there. It was emotional.”
