The referendum on whether to leave the EU divided the nation and now Wife Swap will have everyone at each others' throats again with a new Brexit Special.
The personality-clash show will see Essex barmaid and UKIP supporter Pauline (Leave) swap her home, family and job with Nottinghamshire psychotherapist and Green party councillor Kat (Remain).
Immigration is a big concern for the leave family and Pauline's husband Andy takes Kat to an East End market to make his point.
"This used to be a good white area back in the day. I don’t feel like I’m in my own country. I feel like a stranger," he says.

Kat, who was born in Germany, tells him: "I think some of the stuff you say is xenophobic."
Meanwhile, Pauline - who's a huge fan of Nigel Farage - has a tough time fitting in with Kat's liberal friends.
During a party, she tells them: "You cannot have a nativity play now for fear of upsetting people."
And one of the guests asks her: "Are you anti Europe or anti brown skin?"
But Pauline admits she's shocked to hear another guest, a German immigrant, fears being deported. It’s not a side effect of Brexit that she ever imagined when she voted.

Back in Essex, Kat holds a Brexit pub quiz at the local club - to test Leave voters on their knowledge of what Brexit really means for Britain.
She feels that many leavers have had the wool pulled over their eyes by misleading stories and statistics.
So she's shocked when the locals manage to answer most of her questions correctly and Kat is left even more frustrated - leaving the pub angry and upset.
At the end of the show the two couples meet halfway in East Hertfordshire - where the vote was almost exactly 50/50 in the referendum.
Across the table, Andy asks Kat if she thinks he's a racist and she says she thinks he is xenophobic.
When she returns home to Nottingham, a Brexit present from Pauline lurks undiscovered - a Farage garden gnome.
