Emotions were at an all-time high during an episode of Channel 4’s Handcuffed: Last Pair Standing.
The new social experiment, with his hosted by Jonathan Ross, sees nine strangers put into pairs and compete against one another to win a £100,000 prize.
During an upcoming episode of the Channel 4 show, millionaire businessman Anthony Saxon Kearsley had an eye-opening experience with a homeless man.
Anthony has been partnered with 37-year-old Tilly, a North London barmaid who works three jobs and is involved with giving meals to the homeless through her charity.
While prepping meals, the wealthy contestant shared some out-of-touch opinions on those without a home, suggesting some people ‘don’t want to help themselves’.
He also compared homelessness to ‘camping’, however, Anthony quickly changed his tune when handing out meals himself.
When giving a McDonald’s to one homeless man, who had recently come out of prison, Anthony learnt the man was struggling to secure a job without an address.
He explained: “I’ve been out of jail for a while, I just feel like going back, I can’t stand it.”

Sharing the hope that things worked out for him, it was clear Anthony was moved by the interaction with the homeless man.
While speaking to the camera, he confessed: “I am a bit [overwhelmed]. He wants to go back to prison because he can’t cope with life. It’s appalling.
“It’s really shocking. I was wrong to say some people don’t want help. It’s appalling, dreadful. Thank you [Tilly] for showing me. I won’t be as flippant again.”
As Tilly revealed that it was a small percentage of what she sees day in and day out, Anthony was in awe.
While getting choked up, he replied: “I’m amazed that you’re so positive and I’m amazed that you’ve survived this intact. Anyway, God love you. Terrible isn’t it. I’m quite cut up about it to be honest.”
