'Winners!' Handcuffed fans have already decided who will win Jonathan Ross' £100k prize for one very obvious reason
Do we have our winners already?
Handcuffed fans have already decided who will win the £100k prize after just one episode of Jonathan Ross’ new Channel 4 show.
The new reality show, which launched last night (Monday, March 2), sees 18 Brits, split into nine pairs and handcuffed together, compete to win a huge cash prize.
Handcuffed launches on Channel 4
The premise of the show is pretty simple. Two people from very different walks of life are handcuffed together for 24 hours a day.
Whichever couple can last the longest wins the £100,000 prize.
Each pair has been selected to maximize mutual discomfort. Jo, for example, is the owner of a plus-size fashion brand, whilst Reuben, who she is handcuffed to, believes fat people are lazy.
Tilly helps homeless people for a living. Unsurprisingly, she has been handcuffed to Anthony, a millionaire.
The first episode ended in drama, with one couple exiting the competition after less than a day handcuffed together.

Sir Benjamin Slade, handcuffed to cockney prison officer George, kicked off big time when producers refused to give him his phone – something that was taken off all contestants before they began the show.
After being refused his phone and pushing the producer, Sir Benjamin stormed off, George in tow, to find some bolt cutters.
It seems as though George was relieved to be free from the elderly aristocrat. “I don’t want to be part of all this,” he muttered after being unlocked.
Fans predict early winners
Despite only one episode having aired so far, fans of the Channel 4 show have already predicted who will come out on top and win the £100k.
Viewers are convinced that Anthony and Tilly will survive the longest together and win the grand prize. They took to X to share their predictions last night.
“I think Tilly plus one can win this,” one viewer tweeted.
“I hope Tilly and Anthony win purely from the first 30 minutes of this, what a pair,”m another wrote.
A third wrote: “I thought i was gonna hate Anthony, but he’s actually ok, and i think he and Tilly will stay the course and build a lovely relationship.”
“Tilly and Anthony winners,” another added. “Anthony & Tilly are so sweet,” a fifth gushed.
Handcuffed continues tonight (Tuesday, March 3) from 9pm on Channel 4.
