Ellis Waugh Family

Wanted Down Under Series 12

Rebecca Ellis wants a fresh start in Australia with her children and partner Kylie, but that would mean leaving the children's father behind in the UK.

Growing up, Rebecca Ellis listened to dashing, sea-faring tales at her grandfather's knee of the beauty and excitement of the South Seas and Australia. Captivating the young Rebecca, she has been determined to move there ever since. But now a mum with four young children and new partner Kylie, she knows she has to get all the family on board if a move is to happen. And that won't be easy. Emigrating will mean the children having to say goodbye to their much-loved dad and leave him behind in Sunderland.

A trial week in Brisbane will help Rebecca, Kylie and family sample the sort of life they could lead and afford if they were to move. Then we will ask them to vote, once and for all, as to where their future lies. Will it be Australia or the UK? Rebecca knows that any decision has to be unanimous. So, will the family buy into Rebecca's fairy tale - or will she see her dream sink without trace?

Ellis Waugh family update

The Ellis Waugh family are still living in Sunderland and the renovation of their home is nearly finished. Kylie and Rebecca are engaged to be married, so soon to be 'The Ellis Family'.

Kylie is now working full time in a school in the autism unit and Mary has started secondary school.   The children continue to excel in their sporting activities and Mary has had a promotion at swimming. Adam has now joined his sister with a love for swimming and has joined her swimming club. Tim continues to dance nonstop and Ethan still loves his rugby and drama.

The Australian dream is still very much alive and with the recent changes to the immigration legislation the family are now redirecting their destination slightly to South Australia.
