Jack Visick, publican of The Berwick Inn, Berwick and The Bull On the Green, Newick, and Natalie O’Brien, model and Greta Gerwig ‘Barbie’ actress, have successfully beaten off 8 pairs of contestants to find themselves in the final of Sue Perkins new show, competing for a cash prize.

Natalie, 27, left her London job back in 2020 to set up her own business and started modelling and acting. She was fortunate enough to be cast in Greta Gerwig's Barbie and filmed for 3 months at Warner Bros's studios in Watford.

Jack, 36, met Natalie while she was at University. He is a successful publican and business owner of The Berwick Inn (Berwick) and The Bull on The Green (Newick).

Natalie said: “Last summer over 3 months, we filmed Double The Money. Over 6 rounds, we created 6 very successful businesses, demonstrated by the fact we were able to double the money each round.

"Businesses included a supper club, a festival at The Berwick Inn and a campsite café on the South Downs. In round 2, we turned £500 into £2626 (Sue Perkins announced "our winning couple didn't just double, or triple, or even quadruple... they centupled") and we have proven to be successful in all 5 rounds so far. Winning both round 2 and 5.

“Now, in the final we have brought out a coffee brand "Need" for which we have opened our first coffee bar and kitchen in Seaford - inspired by our journey, made to be shared (www.needdrinks.com). With extensive experience within the hospitality and events industry, we have served, met over and tasted lots of coffee. Moreover, we find ourselves constantly living in the whirlwind. To combat this, we take solace each day, sharing a cup of coffee and a moment of peace, before cracking on with the day ahead, and so we created Need, a coffee brand for people like us.”

The creation of Need has been entirely documented in Thursday night's episode. You'll see Natalie and Jack securing a roaster, designing the branding, organising fulfilment and distribution and doing their first pitch to a large grocery group - all in the hopes of doubling £10,000 into £20,000 within 4 weeks.

The final airs this Thursday, June 6, at 8pm (C4).
