Sharon Horgan considers marriage

For a new C4 show

Sharon Horgan is to host a new Channel 4 documentary series looking at marriage.

The comic writer and actress will get the lowdown on six genuine couples in the two-part Secrets Of A Good Marriage, which airs early in the New Year.

She said: ‘Everyone knows what they want from a wedding – drunk by noon, quick go on a bridesmaid, chocolate fountain – but what do we want from a marriage?'

The couples include tantric sex teachers; a husband with a low libido who lets his wife find lovers online; a couple with a 32-year age gap who met when he was 18 and she was 50; an alpha female with a househusband; a couple who ‘eliminated feminism’ to have a very old-fashioned relationship; and two identical twin women who live in the same house with both of their husbands.

Horgan, who created the sitcoms Pulling and Dead Boss, is married herself – to advertising executive Jeremy Rainbird.
