A whole new line up of stars has already been announced, and among their numbers are an actress, professional kickboxer, and nutrition coach.

Season 11 will see two more mature candidates looking for love, as 51-year-old Andrea and 62-year-old Richard join the cast hoping for their perfect match.

Meanwhile one of the hubbies, pro weightlifter Ridge, is no stranger to reality shows as he already made an appearance on First Dates in 2020.

One bride, Eden, actually had no intention of applying for the Channel 4 programme but got talked into it by producers who thought her personality would be a perfect fit.

This season will see another gay couple gracing our screens, but it may not be the pairing that was expected, as the original groom pulled out of the show after the bucks night.

He had to be replaced last minute by Perth-based hairdresser Stephen.

So it seems the new series is off to a dramatic start already, with lots more romance, shocking revelations and regrets to come.

In the trailer Natalie - who ironically is a physiotherapist - takes a tumble and twists her ankle on the way to the altar.
