Katherine Ryan thinks 'Ready To Mingle' will "expose liars".

The 38-year-old comedian is set to host the new ITV2 dating show and she's explained how its format differs from similar programmes.
Katherine told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I think 'Ready To Mingle' specifically is my favourite format because of its level of honesty. There are liars, but there’s so much transparency about what the game is, what the challenge is and it’s just a whole fresh take where we put all the cards on the table.
"That’s what makes it so entertaining and compelling. You don’t really know who is telling you the truth."
Katherine previously created and starred in the Netflix comedy series 'The Duchess'.
The show premiered last year, but was cancelled in April, with Katherine saying that "not enough people watched it".
The comedy star - who was born and raised in Canada, but is now based in the UK - explained: "Netflix didn’t want to make any more, not enough people watched it.
"I think something like 10 million people watched it in 28 days and that wasn’t enough. But also, I’m not terribly sad about it."
Katherine relished making the show, but she also admitted that it took "a whole lot of work".
And ultimately, she's happy with the way the show ended.
She said: "I feel like it’s a whole lot of work, a whole lot of time to make a sitcom. I was so grateful to able to make it, but I think it speaks for itself. I kind of like the way it ended."
