A MEIRIONNYDD man who moved from Bala to Benidorm is to be featured in a TV show.
Gary Jones, who grew up in Bala, used his mattress to save up £7,000 with his partner Chris Green before moving to Spain in search of a sunnier, cheaper lifestyle.
In the latest series of Bargain Loving Brits in the Sun, viewers follow the adventures of Gary and Chris as they start their new lives together – even if they did just meet a short while ago.
A spokesperson for the show said: “In this episode we meet Benidorm newcomers Chris Green from Leeds and Gary Jones from Wales.
“Both have decided to change everything for a new life in the sun.
“After saving seven grand cash in their mattress, they have flown into the resort with just two suitcases, a hotel for a few nights and half their cash to find a place to live.
“But – and it’s a big ‘but’ – they’ve only been together for six months, never lived together and they’ve never been to Benidorm before and have no idea what to expect!
“We follow them with one day to find an apartment and move in; could the beginning of their Benidorm dream turn into a nightmare?”
The episode of Bargain Loving Brits in the Sun featuring Gary and Chris broadcasts tonight (1 February) on Channel 5 at 8pm.
