About this Broadcast
Season 1, Episode 1
Jonathan Ross hosts this reality challenge in which nine pairs of strangers with different beliefs, lifestyles, opinions and habits are handcuffed together for as long as they can stand it. The pairs must navigate eating, dressing and even sleeping just inches apart as they are sent on a road trip across the UK - with the ones who last the longest in the running for £100,000. From a bar tender and a millionaire to an alpha male and a proud feminist, which couple will be the first to take the cuffs off?

Jonathan Ross
(Presenter)
Best Known For:
His cheeky celebrity interviews.
Early-life:
Jonathan Stephen Ross was born on November 17, 1960, in Camden, London. He is one of six children born to a lorry driver and his film extra wife (Martha Ross had a bit part in EastEnders for over 20 years). Jonathan appeared in TV ads as a child, but after completing a degree in modern European history at the University of London, he began his TV career as a researcher on such shows as Loose Talk and Soul Train.
Career:
In 1987, Ross and his friend Alan Marke devised a format inspired by Late Night with David Letterman, and after struggling to find a suitable host, Ross stepped in. The resulting show, The Last Resort with Jonathan Ross, made him a star. Other major projects include his chat shows Friday Night with Jonathan Ross and The Jonathan Ross Show, and his stint as the reviewer of the BBC's Film programme. He's also a massive comic book fan; his first foray into the genre, Turf, was published in 2010. But he's also hit the headlines for various controversies over the years, including the notorious Sachsgate, which involved a prank call made by him and Russell Brand to actor Andrew Sachs in 2008.
Quote:
'People like coming on my show because they know they'll have fun and they know I'm going to be respectful to them. I'm never, you know, mean-spirited.'
Trivia:
He's been married to screenwriter and author Jane Goldman since 1988. They have three children.
