Love and Drugs on the Street: Girls Sleeping Rough Episode Rating Graph

Filmed in Brighton and Hove, which has seen the UK’s biggest increase in homelessness over the past year, we meet Paige, who is 21 and sleeps in a graveyard; Tanya, who is 7 months pregnant and sleeps rough with her partner; and Jo-Jo, who is 21, smoking spice and sleeping in shop doorways.

The eye-opening daily life story of women sleeping rough on Brighton’s streets continues. Paige has had a fresh start in a hostel but her daughter is being put up for adoption, while Maria has succumbed to the grip of heroin addiction, having had two children removed from her care. With around three-quarters of mothers sleeping on the streets having had kids taken away, can they break the vicious cycle?

As winter sets in Paige tries to put street life behind her, while Maria and Tony bed down with a single homeless woman.
