📺
TVTranscript
00:03Nine pairs of total strangers have been handcuffed together.
00:07You're at the classes of f***ing barmy, aren't you?
00:09But with two couples calling it quits...
00:12They're not f*** with me.
00:14...now just seven remain.
00:18As some struggle to find common ground...
00:20People that are working cannot afford to live.
00:23Well, where are they all?
00:25They're here. It's me.
00:27...and even considered leaving the experiment...
00:29...I make gay porn for the gay industry.
00:33I'm feeling really, really anxious and really sick.
00:36I don't think I can do this.
00:39Others called an uneasy truce...
00:41I cannot get a word in.
00:43Even though I annoy the f***ing s*** out of her, I won't leave her.
00:48...with the competition intensifying...
00:50Somebody's sucking it now. Flapping it.
00:53...who will be the last pair standing...
00:55In a minute, I'm going to take the handcuffs off and get out of this.
00:57...and claim the £100,000 fries.
01:02You're free to uncuff at any time.
01:16In West Sussex, for traditional housewife Charlie and porn star Rob, it's decision time.
01:22There's no reason not to lock them, really. Do you know what I mean? Sorry.
01:25I know that. I've just got to get a bit more comfortable.
01:30Charlie had told me she wanted to push herself out of her prudish ways.
01:35But after finding out Rob works in the porn industry, she's close to quitting the competition.
01:40Why on earth am I doing this? Why am I putting myself through this?
01:44For what reason? Like...
01:47And I don't think the ultimate goal is worth it.
01:50Right now, how I feel, it's the hardest decision.
01:54It would be such a shame for Charlie to quit now.
01:56She told me she's not a judgemental person.
01:59At the end of the day, she don't have to like what I do.
02:01She don't have to agree with what I do either.
02:03I'm only out there trying to make money just like the rest of us.
02:07Unfortunately, Charlie's invited her friends round for a country supper.
02:11And it's too late to cancel.
02:13These kind of people, they're going to come, they're going to be judgemental,
02:16they're going to be proper like...
02:17Do you know what I mean? With the handbags and all the designer and stuff.
02:20I'm really worried that they're going to persuade Charlie to uncuff from me.
02:23And then guess what? It's game over.
02:25Has everybody got a plate?
02:27Do you want mustard, Rob?
02:28Yes, please. A little bit. Thank you.
02:30Why are you guys doing this?
02:34I'm just feeling really uncomfortable.
02:37Rob is a kind, thoughtful person.
02:39Yeah.
02:40I'm slightly struggling to get my head round what he does.
02:44How do you make lots of money? What's the day job?
02:49So I do OnlyFans. I do stuff online.
02:52So it's...
02:52Yeah, I've got like a subscription-based service online.
02:56Predominantly for gay men.
02:58Are we actually...
03:00We are talking...
03:01You're going to be.
03:01We are having sex, are we?
03:03You know, I don't need to get into detail and depth
03:04because it's an uncomfortable situation anyway.
03:07Charlie's struggling with it.
03:09I'm quite religious.
03:11OK.
03:12And it's just something that isn't something that's familiar to me.
03:17Simon, how do we think about Rob's daytime job?
03:19It makes me feel uncomfortable, you know, for me, for my wife and for my family.
03:28I have no genuine concern about this.
03:32I think there's bigger fish to fry in this world than perhaps someone or people enjoying an OnlyFans experience.
03:39I get judged too easy. I'm not ashamed of what I do because I make decent money.
03:44I can pay my bills, pay my taxes.
03:46Do you know what I mean?
03:47At least you're working and you're earning a living and you're making a job and you're providing for your family.
03:51Good for you. You're an entrepreneur.
03:52I am an entrepreneur, actually, yeah.
03:56It's not working while you are talking.
03:59Yeah, yeah.
03:59I think it's, if you are kind to each other, then this is OK.
04:09Worryed another couple might be about to hit the dust, I'm eager to discover if Charlie has made her decision.
04:15Hello.
04:16Hello.
04:17So, dying to know what's happening.
04:19Obviously, it was a shock for me last night finding out what Rob did.
04:24It's a very, very different world to the world that I, you know, I don't know about it.
04:31And it's, it's very alien to me.
04:34But, you know, I don't want to judge what Rob does at all.
04:39Because we all have choices.
04:41We all do things for whatever reasons we do them.
04:44And I get that.
04:46There's no right or wrong here, of course.
04:48You have to feel like it's worth going on with.
04:52I think we can, you know, move forward in a positive way.
04:59Yeah, I think I feel in a better place.
05:01Charlie, I'm behind you on this.
05:04Yeah.
05:04Yeah.
05:05And there will be other peaks and troughs, I'm sure.
05:08Good luck.
05:09I hope it does well.
05:10Thanks.
05:11Bye-bye.
05:12Bye.
05:12Bye.
05:12Bye-bye.
05:13I don't want to let Rob down and quit.
05:16And I don't want him to feel that I've quit because of what he does.
05:21He's a good guy.
05:22And he's got a good heart.
05:25But I don't 100% know how it's going to be going forward.
05:32And I've just got to live in the moment and take each day as it comes.
05:36Charlie's husband, Simon, wants to clear the air.
05:40I wasn't expecting perhaps to draw on some of my emotions quite the way it did.
05:44Mm-hmm.
05:45But I don't regret that.
05:47No.
05:47And it's no judgement on you, Rob, as you well know.
05:51Yeah.
05:51We just have to respect each of us' feelings and we just have to move on from it.
05:55Do you know what I mean?
05:55And that's it.
05:56Watch this space.
05:57Yeah, watch this space.
05:59It's been a massive rollercoaster a day, isn't it?
06:01I'm happy for that, that we can continue.
06:03Hopefully she don't get too uncomfortable that she wants to smash through that screen.
06:07But I'm sure we'll soon find out.
06:13In East London, another truce is underway.
06:18Got some narrow brace?
06:19No, thank you.
06:20But when you're there, please, may I have a cup of tea and a ginger biscuit?
06:25Yes, you can. Do you want to put the kettle on?
06:27Yes, please.
06:27Christy and Nina told me she wanted to test her tolerance.
06:31But since being handcuffed, outspoken Sarah has nearly pushed her to breaking point.
06:36I don't want to quit.
06:38My concern is how I respond to any triggers.
06:42So that's what frustrates me, because sometimes I just bite the bait.
06:46Take yours.
06:49Sarah, I'm going to ask you to just be mindful of the little tissues that you leave everywhere.
06:57That's not mine?
06:57It's certainly not mine.
06:59Well, it's not mine.
06:59I'm more OCD-loving than you'll ever be when it comes to tidying.
07:04That's so rude.
07:06That is so rude.
07:09It's all right.
07:10Just think before you open your mouth.
07:11Try that.
07:12Bill, maybe you should too.
07:14Jesus Christ.
07:15You're rude.
07:16And you're not.
07:17You're disrespectful.
07:18You're loud.
07:18You're messy.
07:20Messy?
07:20You're rude.
07:21You're not messy.
07:23You're not messy.
07:24Sarah, it's nobody else.
07:25It's nobody else.
07:26It's nobody else.
07:27It's you.
07:27Don't tell me to breathe.
07:29Breathe.
07:29Don't tell me to breathe.
07:33It would be easier if there was acknowledgement and accountability and change.
07:39But that's not going to happen.
07:41So it's all on me.
07:45And that's what I'm finding hard at the minute.
07:53I need my arms.
07:55Yeah, I need a coffee.
07:56What are we going to do about it?
07:57Make it.
07:57You ain't got none.
07:59Well, then what are you going to do?
08:00Stay here till you find me so.
08:02What you're going to have to do is let go of my arm like that.
08:04It's all right.
08:04I'm comfortable here.
08:06OK.
08:09As ever, a key is on hand, so the pairs can unlock at any time.
08:15But if they do, they'll say goodbye to the 100 grand prize.
08:18One, two, three, six.
08:28Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right.
08:32Here I am stuck in the middle with you.
08:38Coffee's going cold.
08:43It's so challenging.
08:45It's really, really difficult.
08:47I'm just going to take this to the chute, if that's OK.
08:50The chute?
08:51Might bloody push you down the chute.
08:53I'd like to see you try it.
08:58Ow!
09:00Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
09:01Stop pulling me like a dog.
09:03Don't do that, Sarah.
09:04I usually walk with you and I'm like...
09:05Don't do that.
09:06Well, I pulled you back because all you've done
09:08is pull me around like some animal.
09:11Please don't treat me like that.
09:13In you go.
09:16Sarah.
09:17You act like a child.
09:17I want to treat you like one.
09:18Sarah.
09:20I will take the rudeness.
09:22I will take the ignorance.
09:23I will cope with your issues.
09:25But you're not going to...
09:26You've been pulling me around all day.
09:27No, Sarah, that's not true.
09:29Yes, you have.
09:29Sarah, that is not true.
09:31Watch it back.
09:31If I've pulled you...
09:34I will take your hand as long as you have the same respect
09:37to me on these handcuffs that I've had from you.
09:39This isn't a tip for tap.
09:40I've had patience with you.
09:41No, it isn't a tip for tap.
09:42This isn't a tip for tap.
09:43I'm telling you to check your behaviour.
09:46Regine, let me tell you something.
09:48Don't do it.
09:48You just did it to me.
09:49Don't do it.
09:50You just did it to me.
09:50You see this?
09:51Don't do it.
09:51Gaz!
09:52Don't do it.
09:53Gaz!
09:54Do not do it.
09:55Gaz!
09:57Can I have security in here, please?
09:59She just got up close and personal in my face.
10:02I want the handcuffs off because this ain't coming into my house.
10:05She's fucking rude and she moans, moans, moans.
10:08She's asked me not to talk.
10:10I've respected that all day.
10:11Oh, I need to talk to this person.
10:12I want my phone.
10:13No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
10:14Enough!
10:16I won't tolerate it, lady.
10:21Thank God for that.
10:22I'm going to unpack my things.
10:24No, I'm going to roll a fag.
10:26It's just all gone horribly wrong.
10:29I do talk a lot.
10:31And I don't mean it.
10:32And I really tried.
10:34I really wanted her to come to my home.
10:38I'm a lone wolf.
10:39And I'm staying a lone wolf.
10:42I've tried really hard to be Colin when I saw her.
10:46But she's hard work.
10:54I'm free.
10:56I can sleep in my own bed without some random bird with no knickers on.
11:02That's disgusting.
11:12From the nine pairs I originally handcuffed together, there are just six still in the running for the £100,000
11:19prize.
11:21Now, I don't expect the couples to like everything about each other.
11:25But I am hoping that for some, things could bloom into an unexpected friendship.
11:35Don't pull me down.
11:36Oh, my God.
11:38No, Claire, don't!
11:39Claire!
11:40Claire!
11:41Oh, my fucking God!
11:44Ahh!
11:46Ahh!
11:47Ahh!
11:47Ahh!
11:47About enough, about enough, about enough!
11:48Ah!
11:49Oh, sorry!
11:51Suck and freezing.
11:52It's like the actual pits of hell.
11:53No, hell's warm.
11:54It's like the actual pits of Titus.
12:01Where I live is very rural, pretty remote.
12:05there's not that many people. I spent my life with horses and animals and now I've got someone
12:11sleeping in my bed. I am a city girl. Most people probably would think I'm a bit of a tart
12:18but people just don't care to delve a little deeper. I am actually a lot more intelligent
12:23than I think people would expect. Would it be fair to say you have a hardcore work ethic?
12:29Oh yes. Okay. How would you like it if you were with someone who didn't have that kind of work?
12:33It's going to be a ball ache. I'm a great believer in hard work. You look at most youngsters today
12:39all they know how to do is work their phone. So if my partner doesn't want to get stuck into
12:44the work
12:44then that is a serious fucking problem. I spend my life training animals. I know I can persuade the
12:50human to do the same. What's a good day for you? What do you do? Oh god not a lot.
12:55Work smarter not
12:56harder. Some days it honestly feels like I don't work. I just get paid to exist. The only thing that's
13:02gonna keep me going is the thought of 100k. It's a good payday. Might take a few months off work.
13:07Work.
13:09Bambi meet Claire. Claire meet Bambi. Oh she's great. She's really pretty. I'm really like quite
13:16infatuated with her. I'm not gay but I'm just saying she's really pretty. Let's hear it for Bambi and Claire.
13:23I'm imagining farm. I'm feeling she's polo. It's boots. It's giving farm yard. That is going to take
13:30some getting used to. So a country-loving horse trainer who lives to work with a city-dwelling
13:36model who works to live. Let's crack on. We're gonna win.
13:45God almighty. It is. It is. Just fields for days isn't it. The pair will start their handcuffed
13:52experience far from the city in Claire's countryside home. I do struggle to comprehend why somebody
14:00wouldn't want my lifestyle. It's restaurants, dinners, club, travel. I am definitely a city girl.
14:11When I think of the countryside I'm thinking pig shit and rain and not a lot else.
14:18Wait. Stop. Stop. Stop. So this is my gateway here.
14:23Gateway to fucking what though? There's nothing there babe. There's the truck.
14:33No heels are going through the mud. Right there's the truck. Oh my fucking Christ.
14:38You're taking the best babe. I've got to kill myself. No because it's awesome.
14:44You'll be alright. No. Oh my god this is hard on earth. No offense babe. I'm not gonna lie.
14:52I've got mud in my toes. Right after me. Right go on then.
14:57Where am I going to the toilet? It's not got plumbing has it? No there's a bucket.
15:01Oh fuck off. There's not a bucket Claire. I know you're lying. There's not a bucket.
15:06You're not shitting in a bucket on national TV. It's not gonna happen.
15:10I choose constipation. There's no way. There's no fucking way.
15:25In Staffordshire self-confessed prude Charlie is on her way to the house that porn star Rob shares with his
15:32mum.
15:33Nearly there. Nearly there. 30 seconds.
15:38Okay. Are you nervous?
15:40Slightly actually. Yeah.
15:43I am feeling quite anxious to be honest.
15:46But I'm just going to as always put my best foot forward and be you know open minded.
15:52Hello.
15:54Hi.
15:55Turn the music down.
15:57Don't tell me I'm not gonna party.
15:58Look at my mum on the thing. Are you alright? Are you alright?
16:02Hi.
16:03Hi.
16:04Chase just passed me the boxes.
16:05Hello sweet.
16:06Lovely to meet you.
16:07And you too darling.
16:08I have lots about you.
16:10I've been took out of my comfort zone at Charlie's.
16:13I'm really excited to take her into my world.
16:17Rob's throwing Charlie in at the deep end by taking her to his studio where he makes his living.
16:23This is where I did all my OnlyFans stuff.
16:25Filmed all the porn.
16:26Did all the stuff.
16:27Solo stuff.
16:28Everything else.
16:29Got all the different equipment I've brought.
16:30My sofa.
16:31My rug.
16:32My table.
16:33My lights.
16:33I've got all my camera equipment.
16:35I'd normally set it all up.
16:36And I'd obviously have the lads round on the couch.
16:39Obviously I'm a bit different.
16:41Do you know what I mean?
16:41I've got a bit of a niche.
16:43I'm six foot eight.
16:4322 stone.
16:44In the gay community world I'd be classed as a bear.
16:49If you was a man you'd probably be classed as like a twink.
16:51Or like an otter kind of thing if you was a bit of an oldish person.
16:55An oldish person.
16:56Yeah.
16:56Twins.
16:56So you've got like different like names that the gay community use for each other.
17:01There was one time there's a guy out there that identifies as a snail.
17:05Okay.
17:06How do you identify as a snail?
17:08I don't know but he likes the fact of like big guys wanting to be able to crush him.
17:13Yeah.
17:14Quite alarming.
17:16This is something I never in my wildest dreams thought that I would ever encounter.
17:22And you know it's not easy.
17:25I'm having to take my head to like a place to try and stay zen.
17:29Because it's very bizarre.
17:33Charlie's very dominant in the kitchen as you can see.
17:36She's made me wash the potatoes like a pauper.
17:38And now it's Charlie's turn to shine so I don't mind.
17:41I tell you what in a second you can chop two shallots.
17:44Yes.
17:44How do you fancy that?
17:46Yes.
17:46I'll chop the shallots.
17:48Tonight I'm meeting some of the biggest porn stars there are in the industry.
17:52I mean that is pretty damn surreal.
17:54Rob's very respectful and I hope that they are too.
17:57And I hope that the conversations don't get too detailed.
18:04Hello mate.
18:05Hello.
18:06How are you?
18:07Right you some cake?
18:08Yes.
18:09How are you?
18:09Good.
18:10Good.
18:11How are you mate?
18:11Good.
18:12Hi.
18:13Hi I'm Charlie.
18:14Nice to meet you.
18:15Hello Charlie.
18:16Nice to meet you.
18:17You alright?
18:18You alright?
18:19Nice to meet you.
18:20On the menu tonight we've got blowjob and steak night.
18:22Can't we?
18:23Yeah.
18:23Skip the steak?
18:24Yep.
18:28They're being quite perverted.
18:30Could you just drop them in the bin for me please?
18:32That's all the fat off the steak.
18:37I'm trying to cook.
18:39I'm trying to do this.
18:40I'm trying to concentrate and it's like I've walked into like this kind of crazy world.
18:46Right now in this scenario I'm feeling like it's a little bit inappropriate.
18:50I get boys banter.
18:52I get having a joke.
18:53But there's also a line and there's boundaries.
18:56That needs to be respected.
18:58I'm finding them a bit much.
19:00What?
19:00It's really too much.
19:02They need to have some respect.
19:04I'm getting really grossed out and I'm going to hit that button.
19:06Okay?
19:07Because actually it's disgusting.
19:12Growing up I never really had many friends.
19:15But working in the adult content community is great.
19:18You meet new people.
19:20You collaborate.
19:22And I'm happy just only having a handful of friends.
19:24You don't need millions of friends.
19:25You just need true friends.
19:29We are adult content creators.
19:31Our content is mainly directed at gay men.
19:35Even though we're straight.
19:36We do stuff together and with other blokes.
19:40But we're not gay.
19:42My husband and I did not share a bedroom in my family home until we were married.
19:47How?
19:48I'm a Christian.
19:50I go to church.
19:52And I believe that sex is a kind of sacred thing between a married couple.
19:57I come from that kind of background.
19:59You can understand why your world is a bit like, whoa!
20:04Oh my god you said that!
20:07Crikey!
20:07I need to close my ears!
20:09People make their minds up before they get to know us.
20:12And we expect people to judge us.
20:14And we're okay with that.
20:15Do you think you've been pushed into it financially?
20:19I come from a real poor background.
20:21Single mother, six children.
20:23By the age of six we got evicted out of our house.
20:26We lived in a refuge for women.
20:29By the age of 12 mum passed away in a car crash.
20:32By the age of 15 I was actually homeless.
20:36I was living in a hostel and someone said to me, why don't you try OnlyFans?
20:40I tried OnlyFans and it literally overnight changed my life.
20:43I really believe tomorrow is not guaranteed.
20:46So live your life today.
20:50So...
20:50Well you made me cry.
20:52You okay?
20:54Yeah, what a story.
20:57It's why I'm so positive and I don't judge anybody.
21:01Andy's story brought me to tears.
21:03It was really moving and who am I to judge what they choose to do?
21:09Well you made us amazing dinner.
21:11We're very grateful and we're grateful to meet you.
21:14Well thank you for sharing that.
21:15Thank you for listening.
21:17I'm really proud of her.
21:18She's done really fucking well and I think it was definitely an eye opener for Charlie tonight.
21:23Initially I was like, whoa, okay.
21:27But actually the more I found out, you know, who am I to judge them for doing that.
21:44Oh it looks fucking freezing.
21:46It's actually really pretty.
21:48Yeah, it looks fine from a distance.
21:50Deep in the Hampshire countryside, model Bambi has woken up a long way from her beloved city home.
21:58Claire starts her mornings with a wash in the river air and today is no exception.
22:04Oh what a treat.
22:06I've been at the Ritz.
22:08My appearance is very important to me.
22:10It is the absolute basis of my job.
22:13I think without my appearance I would struggle slightly somewhat to live this soft life.
22:20Ah!
22:22Claire!
22:24I had a nose job.
22:26I had buccal fat removal.
22:28Full set of veneers.
22:30BBL.
22:30360 liposuction.
22:32Just don't pull me down.
22:34Oh my god.
22:35No Claire don't!
22:36Claire!
22:37Claire!
22:38I think women should be able to do what they want with their bodies.
22:41But people do look down on me.
22:43Oh my fucking god!
22:45Ah!
22:46Ah!
22:48Right, you've got 30 seconds and we're getting out.
22:51Oh hello.
22:52Morning.
22:54She really is out of her comfort zone.
22:56Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
22:58I've got a lot of work to do today.
23:00And if something starts, you know, affecting my reputation, I'll be pissed off.
23:04So she will have to basically step up a bit.
23:07Good morning.
23:08Hi, hello.
23:09Look, everyone's turning up now.
23:11Oh, don't fucking blame them.
23:12They've probably heard about the two lunatics and handcuffs.
23:15Washing in the river.
23:16Washing in the river.
23:18Before Claire's work day can begin, first Bambi needs to get ready.
23:23Er, this afternoon we need to bed up a barn.
23:25What did I do?
23:26What have you lost?
23:27A mirror.
23:28That is fucking insane.
23:30Hold on.
23:30You've literally got everything.
23:32Love, love, love, love.
23:34Okay, so, erm, yeah, we have got a lot to do.
23:37Erm, I've got a lot of tack I need to clean.
23:39What are you looking for?
23:40Lip gloss.
23:40Lip gloss.
23:41We need to bed up the barn.
23:43I mean, normally, I mean, that would take me about an hour,
23:46but I think it's going to take us a fucking lot longer than that.
23:49I would normally be in and out of the truck at 100 miles an hour.
23:52I haven't really got time for her to sort of hang about
23:56because I've got a lot of shit to do
23:58and we just need to get it fucking done.
24:05I think the hardest part of this experience is going to be
24:07the impending smells.
24:09Maybe I'll get used to it.
24:10Maybe I'll just start to get on with the smell of shit.
24:13Who knows?
24:20So, what would you say that you do?
24:22So, basically, everything to do with horses.
24:25Right.
24:25I do not like horses.
24:27I don't trust them.
24:28There's something in their eyes that are unhinged.
24:30Hello, little man, you all right?
24:36Look at the state of his eyes.
24:38It's just not a stable animal, as far as I'm concerned.
24:41He's really sweet, aren't you, my little mate?
24:43What, is that too?
24:44Oh, yeah.
24:45Put your arm this way.
24:46Oh, fuck this.
24:48Get me away.
24:48No, fucking way.
24:50Absolutely not.
24:51What's he doing that for?
24:52He's blowing his nose.
24:53No, what's he doing?
24:54No, actually, honestly, I think I just stripped myself.
24:56Absolutely not.
25:00Still on their very first task of the day, Claire's work schedule is already behind.
25:06It's a whole shit.
25:07It's an actual shit show.
25:09It's a certified shit show.
25:11OK, let it drop.
25:12Perfect.
25:13OK.
25:14That's it.
25:15Oh, I just didn't have this on my 2025 bingo card.
25:19Oh, God, I'm dripping.
25:20I can see now, based off of this morning, that this is not going to be as easy as I
25:24thought
25:24it was going to be.
25:25Claire has one setting, which is obviously 100 miles an hour, 100% of the time.
25:29It is so exhausting.
25:31My battery is slightly depleted.
25:34Oh, it stinks.
25:35Oh, God, it has...
25:36Fucking hang on, hang on.
25:38That's too much.
25:39No.
25:40No.
25:44No, I'm not even joking.
25:45No.
25:46Quite enough of that.
25:53When I cook the sausages, I'll put the mashed potato on top of the oven.
25:59And then how do you cook them after you've done that?
26:01It's still ready.
26:01You'll see.
26:02You'll see.
26:04In Enfield, North London, for barmaid Tilly and millionaire business owner Anthony,
26:09things remain frosty.
26:11I think the tensions are rising a little bit.
26:14And he lives a very privileged life where things are done for him.
26:19And I think he doesn't really get that.
26:23The pair have a busy day ahead.
26:25In her spare time, Tilly runs a local homeless charity.
26:29And today, along with her friends, the pair are preparing and distributing hot meals.
26:35I've been helping the homeless for ten years.
26:38I always say, build a longer table, not a higher fence.
26:43Some people ain't got anyone.
26:45But they've got me.
26:47And they've got our charity.
26:49And that's something I am very proud of.
26:52Some very good-looking sausages there.
26:54Proper sausages.
26:55They are proper sausages.
26:57They're proper Cumberland sausages.
26:59Excellent, aren't they?
27:01Absolutely.
27:02Have you ever had anything like this before?
27:04I know about homelessness.
27:06I've been camping.
27:09I've eaten sausages.
27:10I've had mashed potato.
27:13You just mentioned about camping.
27:14It's very, very different.
27:16What we do is massive.
27:18It's huge.
27:19It makes a huge difference to that one person that gets that meal.
27:23Oh, no, I get that.
27:25I did actually go to public school.
27:27OK.
27:27And regardless of what you think, it's very tough.
27:30OK.
27:31It's very tough.
27:32In what sense?
27:33Well, this is quite luxurious compared to what we had to have.
27:38These people that we are feeding, if we don't feed them, they don't get the dinner.
27:43This is probably their only meal.
27:44And often it is.
27:46Forgive me for saying this and don't shoot me down.
27:48Some of them don't want help.
27:50They're quite happy with their life.
27:53People are living on the streets and starving.
27:56I feel like you're thinking in the wrong way.
27:59It was a really...
28:03...weird comment to make.
28:05And I think sometimes Anthony uses really long, clever words to say really stupid things.
28:14I had a relative who recently died who left four and a half million pounds as a residual to the
28:20Royal IFA institution with the soul wish that his entire estate, a residual estate, went to them.
28:27All he wanted was a boat named after him.
28:29You know, what do you need?
28:30I don't need the name on my boat.
28:32The boat.
28:32Listen, don't be so angry.
28:34I'm trying to be angry.
28:35You are.
28:35You're really peed off.
28:37Yeah.
28:37You are.
28:37Don't be angry with me.
28:39Do you remember how passionate you was about your car?
28:41Yeah, but I wasn't angry.
28:43Yeah.
28:43Because it's hard to be angry about a 500 grand Rollsworth.
28:48This is my passion.
28:48Don't just fire arrows at me.
28:50Huh?
28:51You said you wouldn't have a lifeboat named after you.
28:52Of course you wouldn't.
28:53Why would I want a fucking lifeboat named after me?
28:55Yeah, but you missed the point.
28:56The point is all the money went into the administration.
28:59No, you missed the point.
28:59You missed the point, Anthony, that I don't need to do something for acknowledgement.
29:03If you listen...
29:05Don't keep telling me to listen.
29:06No, but if you listen, you will get more.
29:08Do not keep telling me to listen.
29:08Please do not keep telling me to listen.
29:10Because I've been hearing you talk for the last three days.
29:13I think there's probably a lot you don't know about me because you haven't been listening.
29:17I've listened.
29:18Please believe me.
29:19I have listened.
29:20I have listened.
29:22Can you understand why I'm getting a little bit frustrated here?
29:25Can you understand?
29:27Like, now you've just rolled your eyes at me.
29:30It's just being a little bit self-centred, isn't it?
29:34Like, and so unaware.
29:37What's that?
29:38Has the air turned blue?
29:39Sorry.
29:45Meals ready, the couple hit the streets to hand them out to the local homeless community.
29:50Is that a homeless person in the blue sort of top there?
29:52No.
29:53Oh.
29:58There's somebody there.
30:01You all right, sweet?
30:03Hi.
30:04Hello.
30:04You all right?
30:05Do you want a hot dinner?
30:07I'm good.
30:07You okay?
30:08Yeah.
30:09I'll leave one up there for you.
30:12Two of them?
30:14Yeah.
30:14All those.
30:15They don't get to eat.
30:16They're hungry.
30:17Is he homeless?
30:18Yeah.
30:20We don't know that gentleman.
30:22More importantly, he don't know us.
30:23He's in a graveyard sleeping and he's probably really hungry and he probably feels very scared
30:28and very vulnerable.
30:32Babe?
30:34Do you want some dinner?
30:36Come on, please.
30:37It's sausage and mash there, babe.
30:38It's nice and warm.
30:39Thanks.
30:40Babe, do you want a cup of tea?
30:42I don't mind.
30:43Come on.
30:46How are you getting there?
30:47It's stressful.
30:48I'm just trying to get, like, work here and there.
30:50What job sentence do you go to?
30:52That one up there?
30:53No.
30:54You can go to home dress.
30:56Yeah, you've got a new dress.
30:59I've been out of town for a while.
31:01I just want to pay her back.
31:02Oh, dear.
31:04It's quite so good.
31:06Oh, for God's sake.
31:09Good to meet you.
31:10Cheers, mate.
31:13I hope things work out for you, mate.
31:15Thanks.
31:18What?
31:19Bunch of speechless, to be perfectly honest.
31:21I am.
31:21Of course I want to go back into prison.
31:24Isn't that horrendous?
31:26There's no address.
31:27He's got no phone.
31:29So he hasn't got a bank account.
31:32I mean...
31:34Yee, God.
31:38Anthony, you seem a bit overwhelmed.
31:41I am a bit, yes.
31:43He wants to go back into prison.
31:45Because he can't cope with life.
31:47It's appalling.
31:48I just...
31:49You know, it's...
31:50It's there, obviously.
31:51It's there.
31:52But I've seen it and I've tasted it.
31:53I've seen.
31:54It's really shocking.
31:56I was wrong to say some people don't want help.
32:00It's appalling.
32:02Dreadful.
32:03So thank you for showing me.
32:04I won't be as flippant again.
32:06That is like a tiny percent of what I see day in, day out.
32:14I'm amazed you're so positive and I'm amazed that you've survived this.
32:18Intact.
32:20Anyway, good...
32:21God love you.
32:23Terrible, isn't it?
32:24Quite...
32:24I'm quite cut up about it, to be honest.
32:26Anyway, come on.
32:27Let's get on and find somebody else.
32:30There was a side of Antony that I did see today that I hadn't really seen before.
32:36And it was really nice to see that side of him.
32:39I'm glad about that.
32:41And I'm glad that...
32:44..he can probably see how privileged he is.
32:48So I think today's probably been a big, big lesson for Antony
32:52and I hope he takes it with him.
33:03Oh, oh, oh.
33:05OK, they're already off.
33:05Let that part of you go.
33:06You're all right.
33:07Ah!
33:08Back in beautiful Hampshire, model Bambi is struggling to keep up with workaholic Claire.
33:14Get the horse's head up.
33:15Good girl, baby.
33:16Oh, it's just never ending.
33:18It's just one thing after another.
33:19I'm not used to this.
33:20Tighter.
33:21Much, much tighter.
33:21Oh, God.
33:23Thought I would have this.
33:24I will do one task at home and then think that's a big day.
33:28Princess!
33:29She's flying around like a blue-arse fly.
33:32Good girl.
33:34Look, you just don't stop.
33:35It's a stark contrast.
33:38Oh, my God.
33:39For Claire, the day has been a light-off.
33:43Oh, God bless.
33:45Oh, she's fucked.
33:47Oh, I'm gonna sleep tonight.
33:49I am a bit concerned how exhausted Bambi got today.
33:53And I've got a lot of work to do tomorrow.
33:55And the thing is, I'm already really behind now, which I'm actually quite conscious of.
34:01Worried about the impact it's having on her work, Claire demands to speak to the producers.
34:05I am having my fucking phone, whether they like it or not.
34:10All the pairs have strictly limited access to their phones.
34:15Hi, Claire, how are you?
34:16Pissed off.
34:17So, I've got clients messaging me.
34:19My phones now will be a nightmare.
34:21Okay?
34:22So, the phone thing is a major thing.
34:24Okay?
34:24So, this needs to be ironed out right now.
34:26I understand you.
34:27Can I also speak to Bambi, please?
34:29Yep.
34:29Hi.
34:30Bye.
34:32In a minute, I'm gonna ask you to take the handcuffs off and get out of this.
34:35If you guys have access to your phones the whole time, it really gets in the way of you being
34:41able to relate to each other.
34:43I don't, I'm not having this bullshit.
34:45The rules, the rules are very clear.
34:48Shut up.
34:49I want out.
34:50Get the fucking handcuffs off.
34:51Now.
34:52I've warned everyone I'm out.
34:54I'm done.
34:56Fuck the money.
34:58Get your shit out of the field and fuck off.
35:02You're free to uncuff at any time.
35:17Now I'm fucking seething.
35:20In Hampshire, horse trainer Claire is on the edge of uncuffing for model Bambi.
35:25No, I get it.
35:26I do get it.
35:28Bambi, with respect, honey, you don't.
35:30I'm sorry to be so brutal, right?
35:32No, don't be serious.
35:32I've got a lot that rides on my head.
35:34I get that.
35:35Do you not think we could just take five, have a cigarette and then just mull over, relax a little
35:42bit and maybe just like sit and be, yeah, more serene?
35:53I think just take a breather.
35:55Sometimes it's good just to get it out.
36:01I'm a very patient person.
36:03I think actually post Brazilian butt lift my patience is through the roof.
36:06I couldn't sit down for nearly three months.
36:08Like I did not sit on my ass once.
36:09So I think handcuff is probably manageable.
36:12I think we'll survive.
36:16Right, let's just think about this logically because I think realistically, I think that this is like a once in
36:23a lifetime opportunity.
36:23I know.
36:24There's a lot of money.
36:25It's the bullshit they've given me.
36:26I know it is.
36:27Do you know, I really wish I hadn't started all this now.
36:29I know, but I suppose we're in it now.
36:31Might as well give it the best shot, do you know what I mean?
36:34How about it?
36:35Ready?
36:36Come on then, let me just shove this down there.
36:41Being 100 miles an hour all the time must be so exhausting.
36:44I don't think she ever really takes her foot off the pedal.
36:47And I think it would be nice going forward to see if Claire could learn some things from me, i
36:50.e. just chill, babe.
36:53I really didn't need them fucking me off like this.
36:55No, I know.
36:57Very difficult for me to not be in control.
36:59You know, and this is completely out of my comfort zone.
37:02Bambi did a really good job of calming me down.
37:04She was great, if I'm honest.
37:05She was a good mediator, because I really was.
37:07I was like, once I'm a stubborn bitch, if it wasn't for Bambi, it's game over.
37:14Day at a time, that's all we can do, innit?
37:19I am very competitive.
37:20And I think that, combined with my patience, means that we're on to a winner.
37:25I think double handcuff my partner, because they're not escaping.
37:28100k, come in.
37:29My way.
37:38Politics has always been split between the left and the right.
37:42And this couple definitely straddle that divide.
37:46Okay, these are the two that's closest together.
37:49Yeah, and the same.
37:50Okay, so if we do maybe a couple of minutes on here.
37:55Quick start.
37:56Quick start.
37:56Where am I looking here?
37:58The one that says start, darling.
38:00Maybe we hold hands.
38:02That's a good idea.
38:04See, we've got some rhythm going on.
38:06I've got some rhythm.
38:07Look at how we're in sync.
38:08This is our avatar moment.
38:18I've got myself buttoned up so I can get my clothes off easily.
38:23I'm told I'm handcuffed left.
38:25I fucking hope so, because I'm buttoned off.
38:29I would describe myself as opinionated, controversial and sexy.
38:36I mean, I can say that, right?
38:38I like what I see in the mirror, why not?
38:42What do you think about the state of politics in this country?
38:45What do you make of the current landscape?
38:47Yeah, politics is pretty broken and pretty desperate right now.
38:51I'm a Green Party councillor in North East Derbyshire.
38:54Politics isn't something that I take lightly.
38:56I wear my heart on my sleeve.
38:57I'm driven by my heart, my values.
39:01That is my life.
39:03Why do you want to do this?
39:04Is it to get your message across?
39:05It absolutely is.
39:07It's to prove that change is possible.
39:08And I want to prove to myself and to others that we can do it.
39:11The far right are on the rise at the moment,
39:14and Reform UK is leading that charge.
39:16And unfortunately, we are falling for the tricks of the wolf
39:19that's wearing the sheep's clothing.
39:21But no matter who I'm paired with,
39:23I do genuinely believe that we can change anyone's mind.
39:26God, I'm a cocky bastard, aren't I?
39:29You mind me asking who you vote for?
39:31You don't have to share if you don't want to.
39:32Right now, my favourite manifesto is the Reform Party's manifesto.
39:37It's brilliant.
39:38Everything is too politically correct.
39:40Just because I'm a brown girl, why can't I be conservative?
39:44Why can't I be a capitalist and be proud of it?
39:47Lin, meet Frank.
39:48Frank, meet Lin.
39:49Hi.
39:50Hi.
39:51Seeing someone who's a lot younger than I was expecting.
39:54I am completely, actually, taken by shock here.
39:58Let's have a hug.
40:01My first impressions of Frank, I just knew he was a vegan.
40:05Seems like he could be okay, though.
40:07I was looking forward to cooking him a nice curry chicken,
40:11maybe a cheeky steak.
40:12It's got to be like chickpeas now, isn't it?
40:17So, a proud right-winger with a left-wing activist.
40:21Truly a story for our times.
40:25Welcome to my humble aboot.
40:28Shoes, shoes.
40:30They'll begin their time together at Lin's house in North London.
40:34I need to get my clothes off.
40:36You want a shower?
40:36Yeah.
40:37Now?
40:37Yeah, I'm so sweaty.
40:38Are you not sweaty?
40:40Yeah, but I'm...
40:41Well, okay, how many showers do you want today?
40:44No, just, okay, one now and one this evening.
40:48Okay.
40:48I'm going to get you some tights to wrap around your eyes.
40:50Okay.
40:50Just to make it easier.
40:52Oh, no, then, fishnets.
40:53I'm so sorry, but this is what I'm going to have to do.
40:56I'm a girl that gets my own way.
41:00Even when I don't, I will in the end.
41:04All right.
41:05What's step one?
41:06Okay, step one.
41:07Okay, you tie it.
41:08I'll put it here.
41:09I can hold it on my face here, like that.
41:12Turn around.
41:13Which way?
41:15Yeah, and now sit down.
41:17But my arm, we're all aware of what's happening to my arm.
41:19Don't worry.
41:20I'm going to take off my dress.
41:25Do you need me to lean in?
41:26No, it's all right.
41:28There'll be no leaning in about any sort.
41:34We've laughed a lot, and there's so much more to discover.
41:38I hope it will get easier as we go along,
41:40and that we will get to know each other more.
41:42Oh, well, this is our first date, isn't it, chick?
41:45Oh, I love a good hot shower.
41:46You've got to have a really hot shower.
41:49Yeah, I'm going to find it so much hotter than I ever realised.
41:53I'm getting hot here.
41:54The water's hot.
41:55My hand is very wet.
41:57Hello.
41:57And soapy.
41:58Something's touching it now.
42:00Flapping it.
42:01Oh, my God.
42:03Oh, my God.
42:08Lynn wants to show Frank the neighbourhood.
42:11This is where I grew up.
42:13My school was just over...
42:14OK.
42:15..down the road, but it's closed now.
42:16I went to an African-Caribbean school.
42:19OK.
42:20So there was no white people in my school.
42:21Wow, OK.
42:22Yeah.
42:23Growing up in a heavily ethnic minority area,
42:27everyone seemed to want to vote
42:29or be left-leaning, vote for Labour,
42:31and I was like, well, why?
42:33And then when the whole election to Brexit came around,
42:37I felt empowered to want to vote to leave,
42:40and I received so much hate,
42:42which only gave me more batteries in my backpack to go.
42:45So this is the shop that I come to to do all of...
42:48My dad calls it Ital and Vital,
42:50but it's essentially the foods
42:51that you probably won't get in, like, Tesco or...
42:55When people try to say it, you can't really...
42:57Yes, I can say that.
42:58And if you've got a problem with it,
42:59I'm sorry, that's your problem or mine.
43:02Do you like Supermalt?
43:04I've never had Supermalt.
43:05Would you like to try?
43:06Yeah, what is it?
43:07It's something in African and Caribbean countries
43:09that we drink a lot.
43:11Yeah, of course I want to try it.
43:12Fantastic.
43:15This is why I really like this shop.
43:17So this makes me feel at home.
43:19We have, like, hot pepper sauce made in Barbados,
43:22and this was one of the reasons why I actually voted for Brexit.
43:28I'm not saying that's the only reason,
43:29but I'm passionate about my own country that I was born in
43:33economically doing well.
43:35So when I see imports from Barbados
43:37in places like Tottenham, I get really, really happy.
43:45Did you vote for Brexit?
43:46I did, yeah.
43:48I did vote for Brexit.
43:49Do you mind if I ask how you would vote in an election?
43:54I used to work for the Labour Party.
43:57I voted for Conservative.
43:58If I had to vote tomorrow, I'd probably vote reform.
44:03Do you know what? Let's get a basket.
44:05You're going to need more than fucking basket, Lynn, after that.
44:09Fucking hell.
44:10Jesus Christ.
44:11You would vote for reform?
44:12I would, yeah.
44:14You're joking.
44:16I'm not.
44:18Have you ever had one?
44:22It's vegan.
44:22I'm sorry, I'm still on the reform thing.
44:24Right, okay.
44:25Yeah, wow.
44:26Don't worry about it.
44:28I feel really shell-shocked, actually.
44:31All of my expectations, all of my preconceptions,
44:34right or wrong, have been thrown out the window completely.
44:36I'm in unknown territory.
44:38I am just trying to handle this and go with it.
44:41Okay, let's go around the corner.
44:42I don't think there's much else to get, to be honest.
44:48I am struggling to understand how I can be in this shop
44:52and for you to tell me that.
44:53One of reform's key figures is an Asian man.
44:57It doesn't make a difference.
45:00When I first met Lynn, I wasn't quite sure what it was
45:02that we entirely disagreed on or where our differences lay.
45:07I'm really absolutely no now.
45:09We need to get some chicken.
45:11Hang on.
45:11Hi.
45:14I think it bucks with his brain that I'm from an ethnic minority
45:19and I don't uphold his values.
45:22It frustrates me because why?
45:24Why would you assume I would think like you
45:27just because I'm from an ethnic minority background?
45:33I'm in this challenge to convert Lynn's opinions,
45:37to change her mind.
45:39I'm not giving up until we get to a point where we see our common ground
45:43and, yeah, we're going to leave this show agreeing
45:45and we're not going to be handcuffed anymore
45:47but we'll be hand in hand in what we believe.
45:56That's fine.
45:57Can I just say-
45:57We have different-
45:58I have different priorities.
45:59Can I finish my sentence?
46:00Shit!
46:01Don't fucking raise your voice at me.
46:12I think I just found that boy is racist.
46:14But if that's the way that you feel right now,
46:15get out of my mom's house.
46:20She's not crazy.
46:23Honey.
46:41You are amazing.
46:45I love you, I'm going to keep her up.
46:49I love you.
46:50I love you, I love you.
46:51I love you.
46:51I love you, I love you.
46:52And I love you.
46:52You
