Brunson. <\/p>\n<p>The series, premiering worldwide on April 30, brings together eight couples whose relationships have been damaged by cheating and will force them to confront their past infidelities. <\/p>\n<p>Throughout the series, Brunson, known for co-hosting Celebs Go Dating and Married at First Sight UK, guides the couples and sets tasks to help them address their issues.<\/p>\n<p>The show doesn&#8217;t vilify the cheaters but offers genuine support to help couples cope with betrayal of trust, leaving Holden to explain: &#8220;It&#8217;s a relationship show. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not a dating show. It&#8217;s about people who are invested in their relationships and are seeing whether they can hold on to them and make them work. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are two sides, and we&#8217;re very quick to judge. I think it&#8217;s very important to listen and to see why people have done what they&#8217;ve done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The format includes a tense &#8220;reckoning room&#8221; where couples confront each other about past indiscretions, leaving Holden to describe the series as &#8220;layered and intelligent and empathetic&#8221; compared to traditional dating programmes.<\/p>\n<p>When pitching the series to viewers, Holden has encouraged many to keep an open mind when watching the show: &#8220;Try not to judge too quickly when you start watching the show, because there&#8217;s a long way to go.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>She firmly believes in second chances for those who have been unfaithful and affirmed: &#8220;Everybody was a child once, and everybody&#8217;s had aspirations and dreams, and so, the people in this villa are good people who made bad decisions. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everybody should have a second chance. I think it&#8217;s a worldwide thing, and I think everybody&#8217;s going to understand it.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"337cd\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"dceeae6e2a18e979f422301950a6c9ce\" data-rm-shortcode-name=\"rebelmouse-image\" class=\"rm-shortcode rm-lazyloadable-image \" lazy-loadable=\"true\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%20800'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-runner-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/amanda-holden-and-les-dennis.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" alt=\"Amanda Holden and Les Dennis\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Amanda has had her fair share of romances in the spotlight <\/p>\n<p>GETTY<\/p>\n<p>The experience of filming Cheat: Unfinished Business has had a surprising positive impact on Holden&#8217;s own marriage to music producer Chris Hughes.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to The Sun, she explained: &#8220;Yeah, I was getting tips from Paul (during filming)&#8230; and was really nice to Chris for the week he came out to visit on set because I&#8217;d learned so much.
