HANDCUFFED: LAST PAIR STANDING CONFIRMED FOR SECOND SERIES ON CHANNEL 4, JONATHAN ROSS RETURNS TO HOST

Channel 4 have officially announced a second series of Handcuffed: Last Pair Standing (6x60') following its first series earlier this year. The first series was a huge streaming success, with over 2 million views of episode one alone.

Hosted by Jonathan Ross, the show takes eight pairs of strangers with completely opposed opinions, beliefs, lifestyles, and bad habits, and handcuffs them together 24/7 in the ultimate test of survival.

The couples will be handcuffed together through thick and thin, as they navigate eating, dressing and even sleeping just inches apart. Shackled around the clock, the pairs will be sent on a road trip across our beautiful nation, in the hope they find common ground along the way. 

If a pair can last longest chained together, they’ll be in the running for a £100,000 jackpot – but if it proves too much and they demand to be unchained, their shot at the jackpot is gone. Drawn from across the UK, the couples will represent the wide range of views and opinions found in modern Britain. Will the chance to win a huge cash prize drive them to stay together whatever, or will their massive differences lead them to quit? 

Channel 4 Commissioning Editor Tim Hancock said: "Part of Channel 4's job is to reflect every corner of Britain, and not just the loudest or most comfortable parts. Handcuffed does that better than almost anything else on our slate, and its return is a vote of confidence in formats built on genuine difference."

Tom Clarke, Executive Producer, 72 Films, a Fremantle Company said: “The first series of Handcuffed got the nation talking, especially in demographics we’re often told have left TV behind. We're thrilled viewers enjoyed the high-octane thrills and spills of the competition, along with the oodles of heart our pairs delivered as they really got to know each other.”

Handcuffed: Last Pair Standing is available to stream now on Channel 4.
