Essex family in running to win £250k on ITV’s new reality show The Neighbourhood


ITV The Neighbourhood kicks off tonight and the cast list has been confirmed.
The brand new reality show, presented by
Graham Norton, sees six families/households compete in a street-sized popularity contest, battling it out for a chance to take home a life-changing cash prize of £250,000.

The series transforms everyday life into a massive gameshow that’s authentic, immersive and grounded in genuine relationships. It combines high-stakes competition, epic challenges and relatable domestic drama to deliver an entirely fresh take on reality television.

Speaking about his role, BAFTA award-winning broadcaster Graham explained: “One of the loveliest things about the show is seeing households who would never meet in real life, not only meeting but forming proper bonds of friendship.” It’s such an odd word to describe a show like this but it’s properly wholesome.

As fans wait to tune in the first episode, here’s everything you need to know about the six teams taking part.

The Neighbourhood starts Friday, April 24 at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX
