Channel 4 is reportedly planning a 'Love Island' style show focused on people losing their virginity.
Maya Jama hosts Love Island
The broadcaster is said to be working on a new dating programme 'Virgin Island', which will feature people who have no experience in the bedroom, while bosses hope it will be "a bit more sophisticated and complicated" than the ITV2 show.
A source told The Sun newspaper's TVBiz column: "This is very much a 'Love Island' scenario, but a dating show with a real difference.
“Instead of being desperate to bed one another, this programme will see them take tentative steps towards losing their virginity and look at some of the science and theory behind sexual attraction.
“Of course it has echoes of 'Love Island' but it’s a bit more sophisticated and complicated than just lazing round a pool eyeing each other up before all pairing up for bedtime antics when the lights go out.”
The show will follow the contestants all the way through their journey, and it follows a number of shows looking to capture the buzz from 'Love Island', which is hosted by Maya Jama.
On Netflix, 'Too Hot To Handle' puts a twist on the format as the singletons try to avoid having sex to win a cash prize.
Dannii Minogue delighted viewers at the helm of BBC Three's recent hit 'I Kissed A Boy' which focused on single gay men, while a female version 'I Kissed A Girl' is exepcted to air in 2024.
Meanwhile, Davina McCall is set to host 'My Mum, Your Dad', which sees single parents being nominated by their own kids in a search for love.
Paul Mortimer - ITV's Director of Reality and Acquisitions - previously commented: "'My Mum, Your Dad' is set to be a relationship show with a difference, as we follow the emotional and inspiring journeys of single parents looking to find love once more.
"Packed full of heart and humour, we’re really excited to be bringing this brand new format to ITV1’s mainstream audience.
"With Davina at the helm, this will be a grown-up iteration of a series in the dating genre that, thus far, has largely been the preserve of younger viewers."
