Episode 2

Couples living with their parents or in-laws test drive their own place. Harj and Chloe from Leeds and Scott and Hannah from Alloa in Scotland are this week's couples.

Hotel of Mum and Dad is back, giving some of the UK's most lairy and lazy young couples the chance to move out from their easy life at home and spend a week fending for themselves, living in a place of their own.

Each couple will find the going that bit tougher, as they are set a series of household challenges, designed to test just how ready for independent life they really are. Will a broken boiler end up breaking hearts? Will organising a stressful housewarming party be music to everyone's ears? Or could a flat-pack table cause more than the odd screw to come loose?

Harj and Chloe are from Leeds. She's a student, he's a part-time bookmaker's assistant and full-time rock star. Our other couple are busy Scott and besotted Hannah from Alloa, Scotland.

Harj and Chloe live under the roof of Harj's mum, who cooks, cleans and even gets Harj up for work in the morning. Chloe helps out with chores, but her lack of self-confidence is holding her back when it comes to job hunting. The pair are keen to put their independence to the test by moving out. But when faced with a flat of their own and the challenges that come with it, will Chloe dig deep to conquer her insecurities and will Harj be willing to change for the sake of their relationship?

Hannah moved Scott in when his work and social life became so hectic that she barely saw him. But thanks to a little brother with a love of computer football, Hannah doesn't see much more of Scott nowadays either - hence her desire to move out and spend more time with her boy. When the pair make the move, will independent living be the friend-fest they imagined or will the pressures of living away from home mean the couple learn some hard lessons about each other and themselves?
