Wanted Down Under Revisited

Series 11: Episode 10

Despite having never been, Paul Nicholls was convinced New Zealand would offer his family the time together they desperately needed. But while his wife Tracey could see the appeal, the prospect of leaving behind loved ones in the UK was too difficult to comprehend.\n\nThe family consisted of mum Tracey, dad Paul, ten-year-old Roman, seven-year-old Zeraphina and three-year-old Cassian. They hailed from Halesowen in the West Midlands, where they owned three fitness businesses. Running them while raising a young family was a daily juggling act, and the relentless routine was wearing them down. Desperate for a new beginning, Paul was convinced a move to New Zealand would benefit the children - but getting Tracey to buy into his dream was proving tricky.\n\nShe remembered too vividly the near-fatal motorcycle accident nine years ago that left Paul fighting for his life. The thought of leaving those who helped the family through those dark months scared her, but unexpectedly his accident was the very reason Paul wanted to go. Having been given what he saw as a second chance, he was determined to live every moment. He believed New Zealand would give him a fresh start while allowing him to slow things down a little bit, take a step back and most importantly enjoy life more.\n\nThe week in Auckland was crucial in deciding where the family would spend the rest of their lives. The seven days were something of an emotional roller coaster as they explored all their options, before the decision was put to a family vote. Twelve months on, it's time to find out where the family call home.
