  It's a world away from the dating shows and cooking competitions commercial TV networks are stacking their schedules with right now. But on Channel 7's Bride & Prejudice, we meet couples whose families are dead set against their relationships. And it's a heartbreaker....

  Radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O interviewed Chris and Grant - and Chris revealed: “Religion gives my mum structure in her life - she found it when she was a bit of a wild child. No-one knows this, but my mum actually used to work in gay bars, back in the day.”
