Meet the married couple who have become a hit online - after making a video about moving back with her parents in their 30s.<br/><br/>Bec and Sam Bartley, 34 and 30, traded London for Herne Bay in Kent so they could save for a house.<br/><br/>Desperate for a place of their own, the pair had struggled for years to put money away for their first home while renting a one-bed flat.<br/><br/>They finally bit the bullet last July, swapping the capital for a slower pace of life - moving back into Bec’s old childhood bedroom.<br/><br/>Bec and Sam have since made a tongue-in-cheek video about their situation - which has racked up millions of views.<br/><br/>In the clip the pair give viewers a tour of the house, pointing out the various perks of life back ‘at home’ - free use of dad’s car, take-away dinners on mum’s card, not to mention rent and utilities provided gratis.<br/><br/>“Are you ever gonna move out or what?” asks Bec’s Dad in the video. “Move out? Nah - I’m living here forever!” responds Bec.<br/><br/>Charmed as life seems in the sketch, Bec says the decision to relocate was not an easy one.<br/><br/>She said: “We knew that the way to save the most money would be to live with our parents, but initially we thought - no we can’t do that.<br/><br/>“We were worried about the stigma of moving back with your parents at this stage in life.<br/><br/>“But it got to a point where the desire to have our own place outweighed anything else.”<br/><br/>Statistics show the couple’s living arrangements are in fact not that unusual at all.<br/><br/>The most recent census data reveals more than one in five Kent households are home to adult children.<br/><br/>And despite Bec and Sam’s initial anxiety about what it would be like living with their parents/in-laws, they now say the arrangement has been working well.<br/><br/>Bec added: “We were worried about not having our own space because we have lived together since 2015 and we work from home.<br/><br/>“But actually in reality it’s been fine - there are two living rooms here so we meet in the kitchen and have a cup of tea.<br/><br/>“Especially being in the small town of Herne Bay we thought we would miss the big city more, but actually we’re enjoyed the slower pace - maybe we’re getting old.”<br/><br/>The couple say they have been grateful for their folks’ generosity, but wish there had been more government support to help them save up while maintaining their independence.<br/><br/>Under the handle @bamcomedyuk on Instagram and TikTok, Sam and Bec produce all sorts of quirky and satirical content for social media.<br/><br/>But with 14.3 million views and counting, this recent clip is by far their most popular.<br/><br/>Bec said: “We’ve definitely tapped into that demographic of millennials boomeranging back to their parents and into parents who are watching this with their kids at home.<br/><br/>“In a funny way it’s highlighted that it’s okay if you have to do it, you have to do it and there’s no shame.”<br/><br/>Luckily for Bec and Sam, blessed with the chance to save up over the past year, they have now managed to put in an offer for a house in Folkestone.<br/><br/>The couple – who write comedy sketches and produce videos for social media and brands - also clarified while living with Bec’s parents they have not been the freeloaders their video suggests.<br/><br/>Bec added: \
