Category
📺
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!
11:44Ah!
11:46Ah!
11:47Ah!
11:47Ah!
11:47I've got enough!
11:47I've got enough!
11:48I've got enough!
11:48Ah!
11:49Bill, sorry!
11:51Stuck 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, there's not that many people.
12:07I've spent my life with horses and animals, and now I've got to have someone sleeping in my bed.
12:13I am a city girl.
12:16Most people probably would think I'm a bit of a tut, but people just don't care to delve a little
12:21deeper.
12:21I am actually a lot more intelligent than I think people would expect.
12:26Would it be fair to say you have a hardcore work ethic?
12:29Oh, yes!
12:30Okay.
12:30How would you like it if you were with someone who didn't have that kind of work ethic?
12:33It's going to be a bull lake.
12:35I'm a great believer in hard work.
12:37You look at most youngsters today, all they know how to do is work their phone.
12:41So if my partner doesn't want to get stuck into the work, then that is a serious fucking problem.
12:47I spend my life training animals.
12:49I know I can persuade the human to do the same.
12:52What's a good day for you?
12:54What do you do?
12:54Oh God, not a lot.
12:55Work smarter, not harder.
12:57Some days it honestly feels like I don't work.
12:59I just get paid to exist.
13:01The only thing that's going to keep me going is the thought of 100k.
13:04It's a good payday.
13:06Might take a few months off work.
13:07Work.
13:09Bambi, meet Claire.
13:11Claire, meet Bambi.
13:12Oh, she's great.
13:13She's really pretty.
13:15I'm really like quite infatuated with her.
13:17I'm not gay, but I'm just saying she's really pretty.
13:20Let's hear it for Bambi and Claire.
13:23I'm imagining farm.
13:25I'm feeling she's polo, it's boots, it's giving farm yard.
13:29That is going to take some getting used to.
13:31So, a country-loving horse trainer who lives to work,
13:35with a city-dwelling model who works to live.
13:38Let's crack on.
13:39We can win.
13:45God almighty.
13:47It is, it is.
13:48Just fields for days, innit?
13:50The pair will start their handcuffed experience far from the city,
13:54in Claire's countryside home.
13:56I do struggle to comprehend why somebody wouldn't want my lifestyle.
14:03It's restaurants, dinners, club, travel.
14:09I am definitely a city girl.
14:11When I think of the countryside, I'm thinking pig shit and rain
14:15and not a lot else.
14:18Wait, stop, stop, stop.
14:20So, this is my gateway here.
14:23Gateway to fucking what though?
14:26There's nothing there, babe.
14:27There's the truck.
14:33No, heels are going through the mud.
14:35Right, there's the truck.
14:36Oh my fucking Christ.
14:38Claire, you're taking the best, babe.
14:41I've got to kill myself.
14:41No, because it's a horse.
14:43No!
14:44You'll be alright.
14:45No!
14:47Ah!
14:48Oh my God, this is hard on earth, no offence, babe.
14:50I'm not going to lie.
14:52I've got blood in my toes.
14:54Right after me, I think.
14:57Where?
14:57Where am I going to the toilet?
14:58It's not got plumbing, has it?
14:59No, there's a bucket.
15:01Oh, fuck off.
15:02There's not a bucket, Claire.
15:04I know you're lying.
15:04There's not a bucket.
15:06I'm shitting in a bucket on national TV.
15:09It's not going to happen.
15:11I choose constipation.
15:12There's no way.
15:14There's no fucking way.
15:16There'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.
15:34Nearly there.
15:3530 seconds.
15:37It's that.
15:38OK.
15:39Are you nervous?
15:40Slightly, actually.
15:41Yeah?
15:44I 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.
15:56I'm sorry.
15:57I'm not going to party.
15:58Look at my mum.
15:59I want nothing.
16:00Are you all right?
16:01Are you all right?
16:02Hello.
16:03Hi.
16:03Hi.
16:04Jason, just pass 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 chucking 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
16:22living.
16:23This is where I did all my OnlyFans stuff.
16:25I filmed all the porn, did all the stuff, solo stuff, everything else.
16:29I've got all the different equipment I've brought.
16:30My sofa, my rug, my table, my 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.
16:40Obviously, I'm a bit different, do you know what I mean?
16:41I've got a bit of a niche.
16:43I'm six foot eight, 22 stone.
16:45In the gay community world, I'll be classed as a bear.
16:48If he was a man, you'd probably be classed as like a twink.
16:51Or like an otter kind of thing, if he was a bit of an oldish person, you know.
16:55I didn't say a six foot eight.
16:56So you've got different names that the gay community use for each other.
17:01There was one time there was a guy out there that identifies as a snail.
17:05OK.
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.
17:14Quite 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.
17:30Because 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.
17:40So I don't mind.
17:41I'll tell you what, in a second you can chop two shallots.
17:44Yes!
17:44How do you fancy that?
17:46Yes, I'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, is something good?
18:08Yes.
18:08How are you, buddy?
18:09How are you?
18:10Yeah, come in.
18:11How are you, mate?
18:11Good.
18:12Hi.
18:13Hi, I'm Charlie.
18:14Who did you meet?
18:14Nice to meet you.
18:15Hello, Charlie.
18:16We're going to shake hands.
18:17You all right?
18:18You all right?
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 their steak.
18:37I'm trying to cook.
18:39I'm trying to do this.
18:40I'm trying to concentrate.
18:41It'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.
19:00Bit much?
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.
19:06OK?
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, even 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.
19:47Well?
19:48I'm a Christian.
19:50I go to church.
19:51And 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,
20:03Whoa!
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 OK 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,
20:39Why don't you try OnlyFans?
20:40I tried OnlyFans and it literally overnight changed my life.
20:43I really believe tomorrow's not guaranteed.
20:46So live your life today.
20:50So...
20:50Well, you made me cry.
20:53You're OK?
20:54Yeah, what a story.
20:56Yeah.
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.
21:05And...
21:06Who am I to judge what they choose to do?
21:10Well, you made us amazing, didn't I?
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
21:19and I think it was definitely an eye opener for Charlie tonight.
21:23Initially, I was like, whoa, OK.
21:27But actually, the more I found out, you know,
21:30who am I to judge them for doing that?
21:44Oh, it looks fucking freezing.
21:46It's actually really pretty.
21:48Yeah, it looks nice from a distance.
21:51Deep in the Hampshire countryside,
21:53model Bambi has woken up a long way from her beloved city home.
21:58Claire starts her mornings with a wash in the river air
22:01and today is no exception.
22:03Oh, what a treat.
22:05I'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,
22:14I would struggle slightly, somewhat, to live this soft life.
22:24I had a nose job, I had buccal fat removal,
22:27full set of veneers, BBL, 360 liposuction.
22:32Just don't pull me down.
22:34Oh, my God.
22:35Oh, no, Claire, don't!
22:36Claire!
22:37Claire!
22:38I think women should be able to do what they want with their bodies,
22:40but people do look down on me.
22:43Oh, my fucking God!
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!
22:56Ah!
22:57Ah!
22:58I've got a lot of work to do today
23:00and if something starts, you know, affecting my reputation,
23:03I'll be pissed off.
23:04So, she will have to basically step up a bit.
23:07Good morning!
23:09Hi, hello!
23:10Look, 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 the river!
23:18Before Claire's work day can begin,
23:20first 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.
23:42I 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
24:07is going to be the 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 her.
24:28There's something in their eyes that are unhinged.
24:31Hello, little man, you all right?
24:32Yeah!
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.
24:49No, fuck away.
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 shit myself.
24:56Absolutely not.
24:57No.
25:00Still on their very first task of the day,
25:03Claire'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.
25:10OK, 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,
25:22that this is not going to be as easy as I thought it was going to be.
25:25Claire has one setting,
25:26which 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.
25:43No, I'm not even joking.
25:45No.
25:46Quite enough of that.
25:53When I cook the sausages,
25:55I'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,
26:06for 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,
26:31the pair are preparing and distributing hot meals.
26:35I've been helping the homeless for ten years.
26:38I always say,
26:40build 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.
26:51Some very good-looking sausages there.
26:54Proper sausages.
26:55They are proper sausages.
26:57They're proper Cumberland sausages.
26:59Excellent, aren't they?
27:02Anthony, have you ever done 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,
27:41if 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
28:11to say really stupid things.
28:14I had a relative who recently died
28:16who left £4.5 million.
28:18as a residual to the Royal IFA institution
28:21with the sole wish that his entire estate,
28:25a residual estate, went to them.
28:27All he wanted was a boat named after him.
28:29You know, all...
28:30What do you need?
28:30I don't need the name on my boat.
28:32Listen.
28:33Don't be so angry.
28:34I'm trying to be...
28:35You are. You're really peed off.
28:37Yeah, I am.
28:37You won't be angry with me.
28:38Do you remember how passionate you was about your car?
28:41Yeah, but I wasn't angry.
28:43Because it's hard to be angry about a 500 grand Rollsworth.
28:47This is my passion.
28:49Don't just fire arrows at me.
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 in administration.
28:58You 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, like, and now you've just rolled your eyes at me?
29:30It's just being a little bit self-centred, innit?
29:34Like, and so unaware.
29:37What's that? Has the air turned blue? Sorry.
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. You 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.
30:14Always.
30:15They don't get to eat. They'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 and very vulnerable.
30:32Babe?
30:34Do you want some dinner?
30:35Come on, please.
30:37It's sausage and mash there, babe. It's nice and warm.
30:39Thanks.
30:40Babe, do you want a cup of tea?
30:42Oh, man.
30:43Come on.
30:44Come on.
30:46How are you getting there?
30:48I'm just trying to get, like, work here and there and what's...
30:50What job sentence you go to? That one up there?
30:53No.
30:54You can go to home dress.
30:56Yeah, you've got a new dress.
30:59Been out of town for a while.
31:01I just need that power back.
31:02Oh, dear.
31:04Oh, for God's sake.
31:09Good to meet you.
31:10Cheers, mate.
31:12I hope things work out for you, mate.
31:18Bunch of speechless to be perfectly honest.
31:20Hiya.
31:21He also wants 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 because 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, God 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 Anthony 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 Anthony.
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.
33:07Back 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.
33:22Oh, 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.
33:39For Claire, the day has been a light-off.
33:43Oh, God bless.
33:44There you go.
33:45There you go.
33:45Oh, she's fucked.
33:47Oh, I'm going to 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.
34:21OK?
34:21So, the phone thing is a major thing.
34:24OK?
34:24So, this needs to be ironed out right now.
34:26I understand you. Can I also speak to Bambi?
34:29Yep.
34:29Hi.
34:32In a minute, I'm going 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.
34:42I don't, I'm not having this bullshit.
34:45The rules, the rules are very clear.
34:47No.
34:48Shut up.
34:49I want out.
34:50Get the fucking handcuffs off.
34:52Now.
34:52I've warned everyone I'm out.
34:55I'm done.
34:56Fuck the money.
34:58Get your shit out of the field and fuck off.
35:02You're free to un-cuff at any time.
35:17Now I'm fucking seething.
35:20In Hampshire, horse trainer Claire is on the edge of un-cuffing for model Bambi.
35:25No, I get it.
35:26I do get it.
35:27Um...
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,
35:42and maybe just, like, sit and be, yeah, more serene.
35:53I think just take a breather.
35:56Sometimes it's good just to get it out.
36:01I'm a very patient person.
36:02I 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.
36:15Um, right, let's just think about this logically, because I think realistically,
36:20I think that this is, like, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
36:24I know.
36:24There's a lot of money. It's the bullshit they've given me.
36:26Do 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?
36:33How about it? Ready?
36:35Mm-mm.
36:36Come on, 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,
36:50i.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. She was a good mediator, because I really was.
37:07I was like, when I'm a stubborn bitch, if it wasn't for Bambi...
37:11It's game over.
37:14Day at a time, that's all we can do, innit?
37:19I am very competitive, and I think that, combined with my patience,
37:23means that we're on to a winner.
37:25I think double handcuff my partner, because they're not escaping.
37:28100k, come in. My 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...
37:52Yeah.
37:53A 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. Look at us, we're in sync.
38:08This is our avatar moment.
38:10Da, da, da, da, da.
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 up.
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?
39:30You 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?
39:47Lynn, meet Frank.
39:48Frank, meet Lynn.
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.
40:00My first impressions of Frank.
40:03I 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.
40:13It's got to be like chickpeas now, innit?
40:17Yeah.
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 Lynn'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's 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.
41:17With my arm.
41:18We'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, sir.
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 this so much harder 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.
42:08Lynn wants to show Frank the neighbourhood.
42:11This is where I grew up.
42:13My school was just over...
42:14Okay.
42:15...down the road, but it's closed now.
42:16I went to an African-Caribbean school.
42:19Okay.
42:20So there was no white people in my school.
42:21Wow, okay.
42:22Yeah.
42:23Growing up in a heavily ethnic minority area,
42:27everyone seemed to want to vote or be left-leaning,
42:30vote for Labour, and 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 that you probably won't get
42:52in, 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 in places like Tottenham,
43:39I 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?
43:53Er, I 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?
44:04Let's get a basket.
44:06We're just...
44:06You're going to need more than fucking basket, Lynn, after that.
44:09What in the hell?
44:10Jesus Christ.
44:11You'd vote for reform?
44:12I would, yeah.
44:14You're joking.
44:16I'm not.
44:18Have you ever had bun?
44:21Er...
44:22It's vegan.
44:22I'm sorry, I'm still on the reform thing.
44:24Right, OK.
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 am in unknown territory.
44:38I am just trying to handle this and go with it.
44:41OK, let's go around the corner.
44:42And I 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.
44:54One 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
45:02what it was that we entirely disagreed on
45:05or where our differences lay.
45:07I really absolutely know now.
45:09We need to get some chicken.
45:11Hang on.
45:11Hi!
45:14I think it bugs me with his brain
45:16that I'm from an ethnic minority
45:18and 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
45:41where 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 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.
46:14If that's the way that you feel right now,
46:15get out of my mom's house.
46:20She's not crazy.
46:46I'm not a musician.
46:49Aah!
46:54You000 waren.
