A COUPLE WHO appeared in a well-known mortgage advertisement six years ago has said they have been struck by the irony of their brief foray into acting, having recently become homeless.
Sarah is currently sleeping on a pull-out couch in her father’s living room and Robbie has been staying at another family member’s home, but he said this is just a temporary arrangement and he will soon have to find somewhere else to sleep. “A friend was working with the production company and said their casting person wanted to know whether I’d be in the ad, then later they said the director had been looking at my socials and wanted to know whether my wife would be in it as well,” he said.
Barrett works full-time as a barber and Sarah is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, having decided to return to full-time education last year to upskill. Until recently she was also working part-time in retail, but her husband said her anxiety worsened when their living situation became unstable and she had to leave her job.
“As I’m typing this I am also preparing to move again to another family member’s home as my current living situation is in flux. There doesn’t seem to be a tunnel, let alone a light at the end.‘Upheaval and loss’ Up to the end of August this year, the organisation had been contacted by 64 clients in this situation, 49 of whom had received notice of termination. In three cases the tenants had been illegally evicted.
“Five or six years ago there was a greater supply but there’s such a lack of supply now that the prospect is bleak. This means they’re spending much longer in a couch-surfing scenario than in previous years.”
I'd dearly love to know who fhey voted for in the last general election
