What is BBC Unbreakable about?

The celebrity couples will be put to the ultimate romantic test under the watchful eyes of two experts, Anjula Mutanda and Maria McErlane.

Anjula Mutanda, Relationship Psychotherapist, popular TV commentator and president of Relate, believes that "maintaining connection, having mutual respect, and having fun together can really strengthen a couple’s relationship".

The country's favourite Agony Aunt Maria McErlane believes that "most problems can be solved with kindness and communication".

Speaking about the show, Rob Beckett said: "Who doesn’t like to see celebrities and their real life partners put to the test under pressure?  It was an amazing experience to film, and 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."

After years in the public eye, the BBC has teased that "viewers may be surprised to see these couples in an unexpected new light, as they compete to prove they are truly unbreakable…"

Unbreakable will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer this Autumn.
