A Southport family will feature in this week’s episode of Eat Shop Save.
The Paiva Family will come under the spotlight after the show’s film crew filmed in our resort in March.
People can watch Series 4 Episode 3 of the hit show, presented by Ranvir Singh, on ITV1 at 7.30pm this Thursday (August 6).
The show features Sergio and Fatima, who live in Southport with their two daughters, Helena and Victoria.
When Ranvir first met the family in March, money worries were affecting them every month.
They were living off a diet of deep fried food and struggled to recall the last time they ate vegetables.
Mum Fatima admitted to having tried almost every diet out there, but nothing had worked as a long term solution, and she wanted to become a better role model for her children.

While the film crew were in Southport, they also filmed at one of our town’s more unusual shops.
MIH Bazaar, situated in Cambridge Walks near Lord Street, is home to a team of people who love designing new household items and art from pre-loved objects.
They were joined by Kate Hardcastle MBE, known by many as ‘The Customer Whisperer’, and her crew from Eat Shop Save.
MIH Bazaar – the MIH stands for ‘Make It Household’ – is an Aladdin’s cave of the weird and wonderful that prides itself on rescuing the unwanted.
Goods inside at the time of filming included a bottle from 1895, a vintage Silver King bicycle lamp from the 1920s and a World War One leather flying helmet.
All of these objects have been discovered and lovingly restored by John and Tania Savage and fellow upcyclers at the shop in Southport town centre.
The shop has raised hundreds of pounds for the Isle Rose Foundation, which supports a young girl with nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH), a rare, genetic disorder which leads to low muscle tone, lethargy, seizures, coma, and apnoea requiring ventilator support. Only 500 children worldwide suffer from the condition.
John Savage said: “It is really lovely hearing some of the comments we get, from people saying this is the best shop in Southport.
“It is like a little museum. People look round and they suddenly say ‘my Gran had that’! It is like a trip down memory lane.”

The TV visit came about thanks to an introduction from Danny Howard, owner of Danny Howard PR.
Danny said: “When ITV contacted me and asked if I could help locate a shop to film an episode of Eat Shop Save I jumped at the chance to help and assist a local independent business! I had spoken to a couple of businesses in Southport and fed back options to ITV.
“John Savage from MIH Bazaar was very helpful and supportive and could see how filming in his business would help give him and Southport exposure.
“ITV came back to me and said they loved MIH Bazaar and could they film there all day so John obliged. John was very helpful and supportive in everything to make sure ITV had a great day filming.”
People can watch Eat Shop Save Series 4 Episode 3 of the hit show, presented by Ranvir Singh, on ITV1 at 7.30pm this Thursday (August 6).
