A WOMAN who previously lived on a rough council estate and moved to a “posh area” has said her “vile” neighbour was rude to her for being too common.
Terri-Ann Nunns, 41, from Doncaster, who previously starred on Channel 5‘s Rich House, Poor House as a self-made millionaire, said she was “happier” on the council estate.

After creating a successful diet plan and having a budget of £1,200 a week with her husband Michael, and their three kids, Terri-Ann moved into her “dream” mansion.
However, things were not all rosy as the person living next to her made her life a living hell.
The six-bedroom mansion had come with a cinema room and a swanky bar, but the dream ended when she was forced to sell the property and move out.
In a TikTok video on her @terriann_nunns account, she said: “We bought this house, and then I had offices built in the back garden, it was just amazing.
“But then I had a new neighbor and he were a doctor and he weren’t very nice.
“I think personally he could not stand the fact, like, I’m just me. I’m not posh, I’m just me.
“I’ll never change, I’ve always been from a council estate, always been rough and ready, professional, but can be rough and ready as well. And he just couldn’t stand us.”
Terri-Ann claims tensions rose when he started moaning about her staff parking on the street.
She added: “I had a massive drive for everybody to park on, every staff member, but because they’re coming at different times, one of them would get blocked in.
“So they just thought, ‘we’ll park on street.’ So one of my staff argued with him.
“He nudged her, it was vile.
“Honestly, I just think he just couldn’t stand the fact that we weren’t posh. We were just, like, normal.”
Terri-Ann said she suspects her neighbour ended up phoning the council to say she was running a commercial business out of her home.
She continued: “I don’t know, he just hated us.
“And then when the council got involved, basically the reason I had to move out the house because they said I couldn’t run my business from there.
“So I’d spent £40,000 on this office being built in the back garden, and the council turned around and said you’re using your property as a commercial property which we weren’t.
“We had the big house and the thing at the back garden. Anyway, I said I’m not staying here.
“I’m not staying here and not being able to run my business. It’s just not worth it, what we’ve invested.
“So we sold the house, made money from it, sold the house and bought the one that’s on Rich House, Poor House.”

SNOBBY COMMENTS
Terri-Ann insists she’s proud of her success, but claims often people who have had a privileged upbringing “look down” on those who haven’t had that.
Many people were quick to praise the entrepreneur on her success in the comments.
One said: “Girl I feel you, I miss the estate so bad! Way to snooty round here.”
Another added: “Love to see my own kind of people getting along in life good on you. sounds like the neighbour was very bitter and jealous of you.”
BUSINESS SUCCESS
Terri-Ann made her fortune through her Terri-Ann New You Plan, and regularly shares her top tricks for her own drastic body transformation.
She went from being a single mother living in a council house to raking in a whopping £1.8million a year.
On her Rich House, Poor House episode, her family swapped their six-bedroom home with struggling Anne and Mick Ross, who lived off £200 a week.
During the episode, Terri-Ann admitted she may have been happier in her life before her success, saying: “We’re probably less happy now.
“I have to work loads of hours, and neglect Michael (her husband) a little bit, and obviously it’s clear I neglect my kids because they told me all this week.”
Terri-Ann’s top tips in business
“Don’t be greedy – appeal to everybody, not just a small market, because you’ve got more chance of making money. I’d rather sell a load cheap than sell six at £100.
“I undercut everybody, but I sell a lot. People are cutting costs now – the likes of Aldi and Lidl are cheap and they’re challenging the other supermarkets; people want a bargain.
“Take a leap – if it’s something you’re passionate about, you’ll make it a success, so just go for it! Think about the ‘what ifs’, not the ‘what if I don’t do it’.”
