The Isle of Wight hits TV screens next week when Ben Fogle meets Gav, Lucy and their son Bo.
Ben Fogle’s New Lives in the Wild sees the adventurer travel round the world to visit people who have given up the rat race.
In episode six of the 19th series Ben meets a family living on a cliffside in Niton Undercliff.
Screening at 9pm on Tuesday 25th February on Channel 5 and again at 10pm on Channel 5+1, the blurb for the show reads:
On the Isle of Wight, Ben meets Gav, Lucy, and their son Bo, who have carved out their own slice of wilderness on a cliffside. Ben is captivated by their stunning sea view and the permaculture principles the family has embraced. He pitches in with caring for the goats and shovelling mulch.
Gav opens up to Ben about hitting rock bottom in his youth and how meeting Lucy inspired him to turn his life around. However, their dream of living an organic and simple life has faced numerous legal challenges from sceptical neighbours over the years. And their situation becomes even more precarious when it’s revealed that their clifftop home is at serious risk of a landslide.
