After a drama filled summer full of romance, betrayal and, above all, loyalty, it’s time to find out who will take home the coveted £50,000 prize. The couples left are Jack and Dani, Wes and Megan, Josh and Kaz, and Paul and Laura and it’s up to the voting public to decide who their favourite is.

The results from the register show that the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 all met their value and volume-based regional production quotes in 2017.

The series will see two teams of amateur car fanatics, led by Donald and Franchitti competing for the chance to drive away their dream car. The only catch? They’ll have to rebuild it first.
Petrol-head Donald famously gave up his job as a panel beater to find fame and fortune with boyband Take That in 1989. He is also know for his extensive collection of classic cars.
