HANDCUFFED: SECOND SERIES AND CELEBRITY EDITION REPORTEDLY IN DEVELOPMENT FOR CHANNEL 4

Channel 4 are reportedly developing a second series and celebrity series of hit reality format Handcuffed: Last Pair Standing, following the successful launch earlier this year.

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.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "There isn’t just an appetite for a second series of the ‘civilian’ show, there’s also the desire to make a celebrity version. That’s because there are plenty of stars out there who have very contrasting views with other stars and the prospect of them being stuck with one another is just delicious. Producers know it will make for great telly, though how long they will actually last being handcuffed remains to be seen."

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? 

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