The couple who lived in a car

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Philip and Victoria Sherlock were forced to sleep in their own car after becoming homeless. Philip was unable to work following a stomach operation and the couple could not afford anywhere else to live. They had hoped to get help from their local council but "kept getting knocked back". Victoria was still in full-time work and said she "used baby wipes to freshen up" and kept it a secret from her colleagues. The couple have finally moved into their own home and Victoria said it is "lovely" to have a pillow again. This clip is originally from 5 live Breakfast on Saturday 30 May 2015.
