Channel 4 and E4 have reputations for producing dating shows with a twist, and the newest series to hit the airwaves, One Night Stand, is no exception.
The reality dating series, which airs on E4, follows an unlikely premise. Producers have found a way to reunite individuals who had a one-night stand to find out why they lost contact and whether a romance between them can still bloom.
Yes, really.

Although this might sound like a complete nightmare for most people, according to some viewers, the show is actually fairly compelling.
After the huge success of similarly shocking shows like Married at First Sight, Open House: The Great Sex Experiment and last but not least, Naked Attraction, people have been left feeling confused and intrigued by One Night Stand.
While some reactions have been more critical – including one tweet that said: "One night stand on channel 4 is the most cringe thing ever," and another that read: "At what point do we make channel 4 stop with these shows?" – others have been more enthusiastic.
One person joked: "#e4onenightstand is living proof that having sex is the most embarrassing thing a person can do and I’ve never been more asexual in my LIFE."
Another tweet pondered: "How do they find the one night stands for #E4OneNightStand?"
A third quipped: "#e4OneNightStand is bloody awful. But am I already invested? Yes. Will I be watching next week? Absolutely."
Channel 4 even received praise for being 'adventurous' with its programmes by one Twitter user.
On Instagram, one person commented: "Goodness this is wild."
A second user wrote: "Loved this programme such a good idea it brought great honesty to the table and some really good laughs me and my partner was in stitches but me personally I don’t think I’d like a second date with any of my one night stands."
All episodes of One Night Stand are available to watch on All 4.
