Handcuffed: Last Pair Standing came to an end on Channel 4 tonight, but who won the Jonathan Ross-fronted debut series?

The show challenged 18 brave Brits to remain handcuffed to a total stranger for as long as they could manage, for the chance to win £100,000.

And, following a Mr and Mrs-style quiz to determined which three couples knew each other best, Charlie and Rob, reality TV veteran Tilly and Anthony and Morag and Angie took part in a race from Scotland, to Wales and onto London, where the winners were revealed.

Who won Handcuffed: Last Pair Standing tonight?

Whilst many fell by the wayside, Rob and Charlie made it all the way to the end and were crowned winners. They joined Jonathan Ross on the top of a double decker bus in London, where he handed them their £100k prize, and uncuffed them.

However, Rob, 32, said he felt “sad” after being uncuffed from homemater Charlie, 44.

“It was a nice moment,” he said. “But also a little sad moment knowing that my partner has now got to go.”

Charlie, on the other hand, quipped: “It was a huge relief. We actually had to wait quite a long time – it wasn’t like we were instantly un-handcuffed! It was a crazy experience but a huge relief. It took a while to get used to doing things on my own, but that’s maybe because I was very overtired.”

Rob’s X-rated first job

Rob, an OnlyFans creator, also revealed that he had a very important job at hand (pun intended) once he was finally able to spend some time alone.

“Being in the porn industry I tend to have a [bleep] at least once a day,” he said. Rob then added that pleasuring himself was “probably the first thing on my priority list”.

However, he has revealed that his work will be taking a bit more of a backseat following Handcuffed. “I learned a lot. I learned that money doesn’t always buy happiness. It’s important to spend a lot of time with your friends and family. And that I was putting work before everything. I was working too hard and not having an equal balance,” he said.

‘We don’t have to keep our friendship secret’

As for Charlie, she’s just pleased she can be open about her “lovely” relationship with Rob now that the final has aired. And, it seems, Rob also has her husband Simon’s blessing. Viewers will remember that early on in the series, prudish Simon was left in tears after learning Rob was an OnlyFans content creator.

Speaking about her relationship with Rob now, Charlie shared: “He’s such a gentle giant and a kind person. It’s lovely now that we don’t have to keep our friendship secret.

“We can meet up and we’ve been texting a lot. He’s been chatting to my husband Simon! I’ve been chatting to his mum!” she said, adding: “He and his family are coming over to our house this Friday night to celebrate.”
