Viewers about to be hooked on reality show that is wilder than Married At First Sight

The upcoming BBC series is far from any other 'ordinary relationship show'

Anyone who loves cosying up on the sofa with a proper dose of drama-filled telly will be absolutely buzzing at the latest show to hit our screens in just a matter of months.

From ITV's Love Island and Olivia Attwood's Bad Boyfriends all the way through to Netflix's Love is Blind and Too Hot to Handle - it's clear there's no better crossover than when reality TV meets dating.

And all you armchair critics are in for a right treat as you're all about to be hooked on a brand-new show that (believe it or not) is even wilder than Channel 4's infamous Married At First Sight.

Now, the latest season of MAFS is set to grace our screens next Monday (16 September) and while I'm sure we're all very excited to finally find out how the whole Kieran and Kristina drama pans out, we'll no doubt be wondering how to satiate our craving for easy-watching material once it comes to an end.

Well, fear no more, as a new reality show will be coming to BBC One and BBC iPlayer later in 2025.

Dubbed as a 'no ordinary relationship show', the programme will follow 12 unlucky-in-love singles who will be matched into couples and then stranded on a deserted island.

Isolated and pitted against the forces of nature, viewers will watch on as they find out whether true love will blossom and survive or take a dive.

The six couples will be matched by experts and then, immediately after committing themselves to each other in an intimate ceremony, will be dramatically abandoned in isolation for 'the adventure of a lifetime'.

Set on remote beaches, the newly-formed relationships will soon be put to the test as the couples live together and fend for themselves with few resources.

Promising a 'bold and original new adventure dating format', the contestants will be marooned and alone, forced to communicate and collaborate to get by - with nowhere to run when the going gets tough.

Will an escape from modern life bring them closer together or push them apart? Will it lead to love or loathing?

The series is titled Stranded on Honeymoon Island, and we've already sent it straight to the top of our 'to-watch' list.

Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC, said: "We are thrilled to be bringing this dating reality format to the BBC.

"This unique new dating series will see couples who have previously been unlucky in love being paired up and sent straight on their honeymoon with no phone, no apps and no contact with the outside world - let’s see if they can make it work on their desert island and find love."

Stranded on Honeymoon Island was first broadcast in Belgium with subsequent versions also airing in Germany, Portugal, Netherlands, and Czech Republic.
