By now, you will have likely heard of the Netflix sensation that is Too Hot To Handle. It's the reality TV dating show where sexed-up singles are challenged to form genuine meaningful connections without kissing or sexual touching of any form. They're not even allowed to masturbate.
If the rules are broken, the show's $100,000 prize fund is reduced. To put how pricey rule-breaking is into context, a kiss costs $3,000.
If you haven't seen it yet, this is the trailer for Too Hot To Handle:And on the show, there was one couple who repeatedly spent a fortune, Francesca and Harry, who, against the odds, are still reportedly together a year after the show stopped filming and have just got matching tattoos.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the pair, who initially didn't get on, explained why they got matching lightning bolt tattoos on their fingers.
Harry, 22, said: "It was something that we wanted to get for a while. We had a lot of negativity around our relationship. On the show, every time I was with her, I was like, ‘Look, let’s stay positive and keep that mindset, because that’s what’s going to get us through.’ So, it’s just a nice little reminder to stay positive. And stay with Francesca!"
However, this wasn't the tattoo that the pair had initially planned to get.
Francesca, 26, explained: "There was a challenge where I had to draw him a painting. It was supposed to be my vagina, but it was like an interpretation of what I saw. I put little lightning bolts all over it, so it just kind of represented our experience as a whole together."
But it's not been plain sailing for the couple since the show stopped filming a year ago and they briefly broke up.
Discussing what it was like to briefly break up, Harry said: "After the show, everything was like a roller coaster, and we actually broke up for a few months. We took a break, and then a few months ago, I got drunk in L.A and texted her that I wanted to FaceTime her dog. I was like, 'Hey, I don't want to talk to you, can I just talk to your puppy?' So at that point we just started talking."
After this call, Harry flew Francesca to L.A and the pair "fell in love again".
Francesca said: "It's hard being away from him because he is in Los Angeles and I am in Vancouver. But once this quarantine is over, we are going to move in together and it's going to be amazing and magical. We are going to get married and have kids!"
Who said romance was dead?!
