Brand new foodie dating show combines Blind Date with MasterChef 💕
Now this sounds interesting...
We love a good dating show here in the UK. Whether it's Blind Date, Take Me Out, Love Island, First Dates, Celebs Go Dating or something more risqué like Naked Attraction, British people have a special place in our hearts for the perfect mixture of being nosy and rooting for a happy ending!
Although current favourite Love Island has had to be postponed this year due to the global pandemic (but you can watch Love Island USA!), ITV2 have announced a brand new dating show called Love Bites - matchmaking for foodies!
Show bosses have described it thus, "A delicious new format that smashes together food and dating, Love Bites will see three suitors battle it out to win a date by each cooking a three-course meal, using the same box of ingredients. The plucky trio will cook side by side in the Love Bites kitchen for the single foodie, who will then choose one of them for a date based on their gastronomic efforts.
"Culinary skills will be put to the test in the pursuit of love, but who has what it takes to cook up a storm and bag themselves the top spot, and most importantly a date with the singleton?"
It sounds very much like Blind Date meets MasterChef... And we're here for it!
Scroll through to see which TV shows we cannot wait to return:
Paul Mortimer, Head of Digital Channels and Acquisitions ITV, said, "Love Bites has arrived! An exciting fusion of food and flirtation that is sure to delight our ITV2 audience this autumn."
Katy Thorogood, Ricochet’s Creative Director, added, "We’re really excited by this super-simple, super-fun format – all the elements of romance and cooking that we know the audience loves, served up with a big dollop of ITV2 playfulness."
Although there's no official air date yet for Love Bites, we do know it's set to air this Autumn... Watch this space!
