On today’s show, we’re fresh off the latest wave of period-drama longing and scandal, which got us thinking… what are the greatest secret love stories TV has ever given us?

We’re talking about the couples who had to hide everything. The forbidden romances. The relationships conducted in shadowy corners, behind closed doors, and across enemy lines.

From the most controversial teacher-student storyline of the 2010s (yes, we’re going there), to a superhero slow burn where one very specific piece of jewellery kept two people apart for years… we unpack the romances that thrived on secrecy.

Enemies to lovers. Illicit affairs. Hidden identities. Fake suburban bliss. Nothing bonds a couple quite like having absolutely everything to lose.

Plus, Mon desperately wants you to listen to our Brutally Honest Review of Twilight here.
