What’s the story?
Unbreakable.
Tell me more.
In what sounds like a souped-up version of the defunct Mr and Mrs game show, comedian Rob Beckett, above, hosts a TV competition that will see six celebrity couples go head-to-head in outlandish challenges. The goal: to find out whose relationship is the strongest.
Who is in the line-up?
Loose Women presenter Denise Welch and her artist husband Lincoln Townley; Falklands veteran Simon Weston, who has been married to wife Lucy for 32 years; Olympian BMX racer Shanaze Reade and her partner Teddy Edwardes, an event organiser.
Then there is comedian Stephen Bailey and his employment lawyer boyfriend, Rich Taylor; plumbing entrepreneur Charlie Mullins and his girlfriend singer-songwriter RaRa; and Strictly Come Dancing head judge Shirley Ballas with her West End star beau Danny Taylor.
How will they be tested?
The idea is to see how each duo excels – or not – when it comes to the five key pillars of trust, honesty, understanding, patience and communication. Relationship experts Anjula Mutanda and Maria McErlane will analyse their performances.
Anything else?
Plenty of wacky antics. According to Beckett: “I’ll never be able to un-see Shirley Ballas get a tattoo, Denise Welch fall into a lake or Simon Weston blindfold his wife in a maze.”
When can I watch?
Unbreakable begins on BBC One, Thursday, 8pm.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
