One of my worst nightmares would probably being chained up to a total stranger for days on end. And in Handcuffed: Last Pair Standing, that’s exactly the situation 18 contestants found themselves in. The new Jonathan Ross reality show saw nine pairs remaining cuffed together for as long as they possibly could for the chance to win the £100,000 prize.
In the epic finale, Jonathan took the final pairs to Loch Lomand for a “Mr and Mrs” quiz to test how well they knew each other. The remaining three, Charlie and Rob, Tilly and Anthony and Morag and Angie, were then tasked with racing all the way from Scotland to Wales and then to London with only a train ticket and no money or phones. It all got very Race Across the World.
So, which couple won the final race?

Who won Handcuffed: Last Pair Standing?
In the end, Rob and Charlie were crowned the first season’s winners!
“It was such a tight race and I really didn’t know that we were going to win. It definitely wasn’t in the bag. I was stunned, then really excited. It was a tough final,” said Charlie of their win.
Rob, 32, an adult content creator from Staffordshire, and Charlie, 44, is a practical homemaker from West Sussex, initially seemed like an odd pair, but in the end, they became surprisingly close. “It felt like winning with my older sister!” said Rob.
