All Star Mr & Mrs is a British television show which first began airing on 12 April 2008 on ITV. It is a celebrity revival of the original Mr and Mrs that aired on ITV from 1968 to 1988 with two separate revivals in 1995–1996 and 1999 and was also based on the Canadian game show of the same name. The programme is hosted by Phillip Schofield,[1] although Fern Britton had co-hosted the show with Schofield between 2008 and 2010. The show features celebrities and their real-life partners playing to win up to £30,000 for their chosen charities.

Format

Round 1

edit

The first round is the personal couples round. The celebrity will answer three questions about their partner while their partner is in the soundproof booth wearing headphones and a blindfold to prevent them from seeing and hearing their partner's answers. Once all three questions are answered, their partner will join them and have to match as many answers as they can to their partners.

All three couples play this first round.

Round 2

edit

Each couple is placed inside a sight-proof booth so that they cannot see one another. They must answer six questions using their paddles (blue for male and pink for female). The more answers they match, the more chance they have of going through to the final.

Again, all three couples do this. However, at the end of this round, the winning couple is announced and they go through to the final. The other couples each receive a carriage clock and receive £5,000 for their favorite charity.

Round 3

edit

This time, the winning celebrity must enter the booth wearing headphones and a blindfold while their partner answers four questions. For every answer that they match correctly on the first three questions, they win £5,000 for their chosen charity, £15,000 if all three are matched. If they match the fourth and final question, they will double any money earned on the first three questions, up to £30,000.

^1 Episode 10 was originally due to air as the final episode of the second series on 4 July 2009. However, the death of Michael Jackson prevented the episode's broadcast, as his brother, Tito Jackson was seen laughing about him in it. The episode was pulled as it was deemed too insensitive to air the footage so soon after his death.[6]
