A duo comprising a porn star and a housewife emerged victorious on Channel 4<\/a> show Handcuffed – after a hectic finale inspired by Race Across The World<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hosted by Jonathan Ross<\/a>, the show featured 18 contestants handcuffed to a total stranger in a bid to win \u00a3100,000 between them.<\/p>\n

All of these nine pairs were polar opposites, meaning they would have to co-exist to reach the end<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The final episode saw presenter Jonathan, 65, bring the remaining duos to Loch Lomond for a ‘Mr and Mrs’ style quiz to determine who knew each other best.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the top three pairs – Charlie and Rob, Tilly and Anthony and Morag and Angie – then faced off\u00a0in a handcuffed race from Scotland, to Wales and on to London<\/a> \u2013 with only a train ticket, no money and no phones.<\/p>\n

Rob, 32, a porn star and Charlie, 44, a housewife, ultimately overcame the odds to be crowned as champions.<\/p>\n

Handcuffed contestants Charlie and Rob overcame the competition to win \u00a3100,000 between them (seen here after first being cuffed together)<\/p>\n

\"The <\/p>\n

The pair were visibly thrilled after host Jonathan Ross confirmed that they were the winners -having overcome obstacles along the way<\/p>\n

Discussing the victory, Rob said: ‘I felt relieved! I felt like all the hard work between me and Charlie had finally paid off.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘All the hours of compromise, all the hours of respect, all the hours of communication had finally come to a close where we had won something together as a team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It felt like winning with my older sister!’<\/p>\n

Charlie commented: ‘It was such a tight race and I really didn\u2019t know that we were going to win.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It definitely wasn\u2019t in the bag. I was stunned, then really excited. It was a tough final.’<\/p>\n

Addressing how it felt to finally be uncuffed, Rob reflected: ‘It felt great! I just wanted to shout \u201cFREEDOM\u201d at the top of my lungs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It was a nice moment, but also a little sad moment knowing that my partner has now got to go.’<\/p>\n

Charlie said: ‘It was a huge relief. We actually had to wait quite a long time!\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It wasn\u2019t 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\u2019s maybe because I was very overtired.’<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Rob admitted his eyebrow-raising first thing he wanted to after being uncuffed.<\/p>\n

He disclosed: ‘Being in the porn industry I tend to have a w**k at least once a day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘That was probably the first thing on my priority list.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Revealing how they each plan to spend their respective \u00a350,000, Charlie said: ‘I have been able to fund my new book, which has been a dream.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I\u2019m going to invest some of the rest of it. Some of it will also be going to charity. And I\u2019ll be taking the family on holiday!’<\/p>\n

Rob said: ‘One of the first things I\u2019m going to do is a huge Costco run of food and drink and go out with Tilly to feed the homeless.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I was very inspired watching what she did on the programme \u2013 I\u2019d like to do a few acts of kindness.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I\u2019m also going travelling round South East Asia and investing in a new business. And then I\u2019ll put the rest in savings for a rainy day.’<\/p>\n

Earlier in the series, tensions began to fray as the pair’s handcuffed situation meant they had to shower together.<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite initially getting on well, Rob and Charlie, a self-confessed ‘massive prude’, nearly crashed out of the competition.<\/p>\n

\"The <\/p>\n

The Channel 4 show featured nine polar opposite pairs handcuffed together hoping to win the incredible \u00a3100,000 prize together<\/p>\n

The married mother put on a large yellow blindfold as Rob stepped into the shower behind her, with Charlie admitting she was ‘so nervous’ and feeling sick.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She turned her back on Rob as he scrubbed his body, leaving his shorts on, as she admitted: ‘I don\u2019t even like my husband seeing me with nothing on.’<\/p>\n

Before Rob had explained what he did for a living, the pair had been getting on well as they spent time together in Charlie’s family home in Sussex.<\/p>\n

However, things took a sudden downward spiral as Rob decided to open up on his career path, leaving Charlie nearly choking on her drink over lunch.<\/p>\n

The adult content creator said: ‘I know she\u2019s got to tell her husband [about his job as a porn star] and stuff and that\u2019s probably going to be a tricky situation.’<\/p>\n

Charlie explained: ‘It was quite tough when I discovered what Rob does\u2026 and it\u2019s really just having him here in my home like with my family around.’<\/p>\n

Rob was then introduced to Charlie’s husband, Simon, off-camera – where Rob decided to explain to him what he did for a living.<\/p>\n

And things went from bad to worse, as Simon began shouting he was ‘f**king furious’ about the prospect of having ‘sleazy’ Rob in their home.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Simon said: ‘ I\u2019m just not comfortable with this, I f**king don\u2019t think I can do this, it\u2019s giving me palpitations I\u2019m f**king sick of it.<\/p>\n

‘That sort of world that your in\u2026 it\u2019s sleazy and so to bring that into our family home is a challenge and there\u2019s a side of me that\u2019s absolutely f*****g furious.’<\/p>\n

‘I think it’s f**king disgusting, grim, hideous,’ Charlie could be heard adding.<\/p>\n

Simon then broke down in tears as his wife explained she felt ‘sick’ and ‘anxious’ over the situation, with Charlie adding: ‘I need to put my family first.’<\/p>\n

Rob respectfully hit back: ‘I do what I do to provide for my family… I’d like you to stay in the competition but I understand if you have to put your family first.<\/p>\n

‘It’s s**t, it’s f**king s**t because I wanted to win this competition.’<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the pair managed to overcome their differences to claim the big money prize at the end.<\/p>\n
