Earlier this year, 主播大秀 Three received additional investment to expand its commissioning remit and announced that it was on the lookout for new contemporary takes on factual entertainment, formats and entertainment.

Damian Kavanagh, Controller 主播大秀 Three, says: “When we announced that we were extending the focus of our commissioning on 主播大秀 Three, we wanted ideas that could bring a new dimension to the channel. Couples on the Couch promises to be a hugely relatable series because it will tackle universal themes for young people in relationships and looks at the changing ways couples deal with different pressures. Whilst Glow Up taps into a hugely popular market and has a competitive element to it that will get our audience talking - we can’t wait to show them on 主播大秀 Three.”

Alison Kirkham, Controller, Factual Commissioning, says: “主播大秀 Three’s audience have shown us they have a voracious appetite for our challenging current affairs and documentary content. It is wonderful that we now also have the opportunity to deliver them entertaining factual programming - these two new commissions are the beginning of an exciting time for factual entertainment on 主播大秀 Three, and we look forward to developing many more titles.”

Tapping into the huge online passion for extreme make-up transformations, the series will see a talented cast of hopefuls live and work together as they attempt to prove their potential to industry professionals from a multitude of worlds from fashion to film.

Couples on the Couch

Couples on the Couch (w/t) is a six-part series that offers a unique and eye-opening insight into modern relationships and the pressures they face by following real-life couples as they bring their sexual and emotional issues to a specially rigged clinic.

With the support of a team of experienced therapists, the couples will get to the heart of what’s troubling them; revealing their most intimate secrets, sharing their fears, facing up to uncomfortable truths or making a vital breakthrough via a series of highly-charged sessions.

Away from the clinic they’ll be given exercises to try at home as they move towards a crunch point in their relationship. Can it be saved? Or is it time to go their separate ways?

Surprising, shocking and uplifting, this series will be packed with compelling couples whose stories speak the experiences of young people in Britain today.

Couples on the Couch (6x45') is a 主播大秀 Studios production for 主播大秀 Three. The Executive Producers are Caroline Short and Rob Unsworth.
