GMB Presenters Spark Fury by Revealing Handcuffed Winner Without Warning
Good Morning Britain viewers have been left incensed after presenters Kate Garraway and Ranvir Singh inadvertently spoiled the result of Channel 4's controversial new gameshow Handcuffed. The ITV morning programme featured a discussion about the finale, including a clip revealing the winning duo, which aired without any prior spoiler alert.
Social Media Erupts in Anger Over Unannounced Spoiler
Fans of the show who had not yet watched the final episode took to social media platform X to voice their displeasure. One viewer wrote, 'Thanks @GMB for giving the result of Handcuffed at the top of the show with no warning!' Another added, 'Thank you for that spoiler!' while a third noted, 'Only been a couple of days as well when it finished.' Further complaints included, 'Don't appreciate the spoiler, GMB. I haven’t caught up yet,' and 'I think you just spoilt Handcuffed for people who are still watching.' One particularly frustrated fan stated, 'That needed to have a spoiler alert GMB I have not watched the whole show yet and well didn’t expect to see that clip then! That’s annoyed me.'
Handcuffed: A Social Experiment with High Stakes
The Channel 4 series, hosted by Jonathan Ross, tasked pairings from vastly different backgrounds with remaining handcuffed together for as long as possible to win a £100,000 prize. Over six episodes, the 18 contestants were gradually eliminated, culminating in a single duo being crowned the winners. The show concluded earlier this week, with the final pair nearly reaching breaking point just hours into the experiment.
The Unlikely Winners: Rob and Charlie
For those seeking the spoiler, the winners were adult content creator Rob from Staffordshire and homemaker Charlie from West Sussex, a self-confessed prude. The unlikely pairing became friends throughout their time together and joined Garraway and Singh on the GMB sofa to discuss their experience. Charlie explained she was approached via TikTok for the social experiment, while Rob was contacted on Instagram. He credited their success to 'respect, communication and kindness.'
Tensions Rise During Shower Scene
During the series, tensions flared when Charlie was forced to stand beside Rob as he showered in her home. The married mother wore a large yellow blindfold and admitted feeling 'so nervous' and sick. She revealed, 'I don’t even like my husband seeing me with nothing on.' The situation worsened when Rob disclosed his career as a porn star, causing Charlie to nearly choke on her drink. Her husband, Simon, expressed fury off-camera, calling Rob 'sleazy' and stating, 'I’m just not comfortable with this, I f**king don’t think I can do this, it’s giving me palpitations I’m f**king sick of it.' Rob respectfully defended his job, saying, 'I do what I do to provide for my family.'
Other Contestants and Controversial Moments
Another pairing, Sir Benjamin Slade, a 79-year-old baronet, and former prison officer George, 60, bowed out early after Sir Ben used pliers to cut the handcuffs over a dispute about phone usage. He raged, 'It’s my house I want my f***ing phone thanks. I need to check what’s happening in the world.' Earlier, Sir Ben shocked George by showing a painting by Adolf Hitler, which he described as 'German art of that period, and you have to respect it.' George retorted, 'You upper classes are f**king barmy, aren’t you? You're round the f**king twist.'
The show also featured other diverse contestants, including Sara, 55, who described herself as the 'female Nigel Farage,' and Tilly, a cleaner who previously appeared on The Island with Bear Grylls in 2016. Host Jonathan Ross expressed hope that the experiment would 'go a small way to healing a fractured Britain.'
