Channel 4’s new show, hosted by Jonathan Ross, erupted into chaos during the first episode after a contestant started yelling at producers ‘don’t f**k with me’ in a sweary rant
Channel 4’s new show Handcuffed: Last Pair Standing exploded into TV chaos when a contestant erupted at a producer in a swear-filled showdown, which was caught on camera. The first episode of the brand new reality series hosted by Jonathan Ross aired on Monday evening (March 2) and saw nine pairs of strangers being chained to each other 24/7.
The teams must do everything just inches apart, including going to the toilet and showering, to win the £100,000 prize. The new social experiment saw a huge row erupt, less than a day after the competition started. Sir Benjamin Slade decided he wanted his phone back after producers took away the contestants’ mobile devices.

When TV producers refused to give the mobile back, Ben said: “It’s my house, I want my f*****g phone thanks. I need to check what’s happening in the world. I’m not messing, I mean it are you going to get it or not? Get my phone… I don’t think they’re gonna tell me what to f*****g do in my own f*****g house.”
He continued: “I’ll f*****g tell them, don’t f**k with me. Bolt cutters now”, while a producer could be heard saying: “Please do not push me and take your hand off my camera.”
Sir Benjamin, who is the 7th Baronet of Maunsel, was handcuffed to prison officer George, who attempted to reason with Benjamin before he uncuffed himself after just 12 hours and 47 minutes.
Benjamin said of his experience: “I was surprised by having some challenging and honest conversations about class.”
Viewers were introduced to three pairs in the first instalment and will be introduced to more as the six-part series continues.
Some viewers were confused by the premise of the programme and left asking the same question just minutes in.. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan penned: “#HandCuffed how to are they getting dressed and undressed. if they handcuffed together and lose if they take them off.”
Another added: “Genuine question how are they going to get dressed and undressed whilst handcuffed?” A third person said: “How do they change their clothes with handcuffs on?”
Tilly and Antony appear to be fan favourites so far with viewers taking to social media to predict big things for the pair. One fan posted: “I hope Tilly and Antony win purely from the first 30 minutes of this what a pair #Handcuffed.” Another added: “Tilly and Antony winners #handcuffed.”
A third person agreed: “I thought i was gonna hate Antony but he’s actually ok and i think he and Tilly will stay the course and build a lovely relationship #Handcuffed.”
Handcuffed: Last Pair Standing airs Mondays and Tuesday at 9pm. Watch or stream on Channel 4.
