The unlikely manacled couples are still living cheek by jowl as they get to know each other - for better or for worse. Housewife and self-confessed prude Charlie hopes being handcuffed to a total stranger will help broaden her mind. After her initial shock at being chained to 6' 7' heavily tattooed Rob, they settle into domestic bliss at Charlie's cottage. Meanwhile, the forced friendship between Christian hairdresser Nina and chatty mum of seven Sara could be the start of something beautiful - until the former realises just how talkative her partner is.
