Handcuffed: Last Pair Standing Wraps After High-Stress Finale on Channel 4

Attention turns to contestants' post‑show plans following the finale.

Overview

  • The pre‑recorded conclusion aired on March 17, featuring a Mr & Mrs‑style quiz at Loch Lomond followed by a handcuffed race from Scotland through Wales to London with only a train ticket and no phones or cash.
  • The winning duo split the £100,000 prize and say they remain close after filming, describing family meet‑ups, charitable plans to support homeless people, travel, business investment and saving.
  • Producers’ pairings tested participants to breaking point, with multiple withdrawals reported across the series.
  • A notable on‑screen incident saw Sir Benjamin Slade use bolt cutters rather than the provided key to separate from his partner, raising questions about how demanding the setup became.
  • Channel 4 shifts the timeslot to new competition series The Hunt: Prey vs Predator, launching Sunday, March 22 at 9pm and continuing March 23–24 at 9pm.
