Stephen Bailey says his relationship is unbreakable
Stand-up Stephen Bailey is appearing on new TV format Unbreakable with his lawyer boyfriend Rich Taylor.
The show, which is hosted by Rob Beckett, sees six famous faces and their romantic partners compete to prove they have the strongest relationship.
Unbreakable starts on BBC One today (Thursday 6th October 2022) at 8pm.
So how unbreakable are the duo?
Why did you want to take part?
We wanted to take part because normally, due to our hectic work schedules, we only get to spend a bit of time with each other here and there, and we normally end up slobbed on the sofa in front of a box set. So when presented with this opportunity we thought it would be nice to spend some quality time with each other and actually do some activities!
This series includes physical, emotional and mental challenges, which did you struggle with most?
I (Stephen) struggled with the physical challenges and Rich struggled with me, struggling with the physical challenges.
What did you learn about one another?
We learnt that we actually work very well together, and that our differences and our individuality are our strengths not our weakness. You have to let people be who they are.
Would you say you are an unbreakable couple?
Well wouldn't that be spoiling the finale?! Tune in to find out! Also - YES, we are unbreakable.
What was the most important thing you learned?
Throughout this process and spending time with other couples navigating their way through life, we learnt a lot about relationships. We all have a past, but it's about laughing and having fun in the present to guarantee your future.
