Jonathan Ross is back on television tonight with a brand new Channel 4 experiment, Handcuffed: Last Pair Standing. The presenter, known for his talk show and recent appearance on The Traitors, will oversee 18 contestants handcuffed together in pairs, competing for a £100,000 prize. The pairs must remain chained 24/7, doing everything inches apart, and can only uncuff by forfeiting the competition.
When asked who he'd most like to be handcuffed to, Ross joked: 'The obvious answer would be my wife (but I kind of am already) then I would say David Attenborough.' He has been married to screenwriter and producer Jane Goldman since 1988, and they have three children together.
Ross recently shared a sweet admission about his marriage following his stint on the celebrity version of The Traitors. On Loose Women, he revealed he missed his wife 'tremendously' and that the couple have never gone a day without speaking to each other. He said: 'We've never had a day when we didn’t speak to each other, because why would we? And we’re not away from each other very often, but if we are, we speak several times a day on the phone.'
Handcuffed: Last Pair Standing begins on Channel 4 at 9pm on Monday, March 2. The series challenges nine pairs of strangers from different backgrounds to live in close proximity, with the aim of encouraging conversation and understanding in a divided Britain.
