Star couple ex-Star Trek star George Takei and his businessman partner Brad Altman will become the first-ever gay couple to appear in long-running TV gameshow The Newlywed Game when it returns soon.

Newlyweds: George Takei & Brad Altman

The couple have been together for 22 years and married last year in California before the State's laws were changed to block same-sex marriages.

"What we want is to display the normality and the joy of having a happy union," Takei says.

To win the show, contestants must answer various fun questions about their partner, to prove how much they really know about their 'newlywedded' spouse.
