Chris and Rosie Ramsey win £1,000 for Chloe and Liam Together Forever Trust on ITV's Play Your Cards Right reboot

The South Shields couple starred in the celebrity special of Alan Carr’s Epic Play Your Cards Right on ITV on Saturday, May 30.

The couple - who host the award-winning podcast *******, Married, Annoyed - went up against presenting husband and wife duo Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford, Ore Oduba, and his wife Portia Oduba and Martine McCutcheon and singer Jack McManus.

Chris and Rosie played for the South Shields-based Chloe and Liam Together Forever Trust winning £1,000 for the charity of which Chris is a patron.

The trust was set up in memory of Chloe Rutherford, 17 and Liam Curry, 19 who lost their lives in the Manchester Arena bombing on Friday, May 22, 2017.

It comes just a week after South Tyneside marked the third anniversary of the horrific event, raising around £18,000 on Pink and Blue Day.

Sadly, Chris and Rosie lost the game show to Eamonn and Ruth - but not before Chris revealed that his first crush was Jet from Gladiator, while Rosie admitted to having a thing for 90s boyband Five.

However, there was controversy over how the couple came to be booted off the show, failing to get to the final in the round which sees contestants pick cards out of a giant pack and guess if the next one will be higher or lower.

They decided to go lower after the card they pulled was a 10 – but the next card was also a 10, and they lost the round, losing the rest of the money they had raised.

Some viewers felt this was unfair and took to Twitter to demand a rematch.

But Chris later weighed in to thank people for their support, saying: “Thanks for the lovely messages guys. We had fun being proper ***** at that game. Still not sure what the rules were to be honest…”

The Together Forever Trust tweeted: “Thank you to our Patron @IAmChrisRamsey and his wife @Rosemarino for winning an incredible £1000 for the Trust and raising awareness on national TV.”
