Watch: Jimmy Kimmel plays ‘Gay couple or just friends?’

By Will Stroude

It’s a question we’ve often asked ourselves on the streets of Soho: Are they a couple or just friends?

“For the past few days, every time I see two men or two women together I feel like I should congratulate them but I don’t because you don’t know if people are a couple or just friends,” Kimmel told viewers earlier this week.

“It’s a dilemma we all face. So tonight we thought we would take that dilemma and make dilemma-nade.”

See if you can play and long and work out which pairs are couples and which are just friends below:
