Sweethearts is a panel show that aired on ITV from 31 March to 23 June 1987 and is hosted by Larry Grayson.[1]

Gameplay

A panel of three celebrities faced three couples. Each couple had a story about how they met, two of them were false, the other was real. Each couple came out and were questioned by the panel, who would attempt to guess who was faking.[2]

Reception

The series was poorly received and never took off, and as a consequence was not renewed for a second series.[3] [4]
