All Star Mr & Mrs is a British television show which first began airing on 12 April 2008 on ITV. It is a celebrity revival of the original Mr. & Mrs. that aired on ITV from 1968 to 1988 with two separate revivals in 1995–1996 and 1999 and was also based on the Canadian game show of the same name. The programme is hosted by Phillip Schofield, although Fern Britton co-hosted the show with Schofield between 2008 and 2010. The show features celebrities and their real-life partners playing to win up to £30,000 for their chosen charity.
The first round is the personal couples round. The celebrity will answer three questions about their partner whilst their partner is in the soundproof booth wearing headphones and a blindfold to prevent them from seeing and hearing their partner's answers. Once all three questions are answered, their partner will join them and have to match as many answers as they can to their partners.
All three couples play this first round.
Each couple are placed inside a sight proof booth so that they cannot see one another. They must answer six questions using their paddles (Blue for male and Pink for female). The more they match, the more chance they have of going through to the final.
Again, all three couples do this. However at the end of this round, the winning is announced and they go through to the final.
This time, the winning celebrity must enter the booth while their partner answers questions. For every answer they match correctly, they win £5,000 for their chosen charity, that's £15,000 if all three are matched. If they match the fourth and final questions, they will double their money to £30,000.
After a two-year break, it was announced by CPL Productions that All Star Mr & Mrs would return for a new series, airing on ITV in the autumn of 2012. This time the show was presented solely by Schofield.Stephen Mulhern took over as host of the Text Santa special as Schofield played the game with his wife Steph.
The sixth series was recorded in March 2014 and premiered on 11 June 2014.
The seventh series was recorded from 27 June to 1 July 2015 and premiered on 30 September 2015.
An eighth series of All Star Mr & Mrs was recorded from 7–10 July 2016 and aired from 31 August 2016.
