It\u2019s well and truly summer and you know what that means \u2013 it\u2019s the season of reality dating shows.<\/p>\n

While many of us are avidly tuning into the likes of Love Island<\/a> each night, it\u2019s time to make some room in the TV schedule for a brand new season of\u00a0Too Hot to Handle<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Returning for its fifth season<\/a>, the <\/span>hit Netflix series lands on the streaming service on Friday 14th July<\/a>, and something tells us that this instalment is set to be as fiery as ever.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the premise of the show may be somewhat hard to get your head round for a show all about dating, it\u2019s proven to be a popular hit with viewers, who tune in to see whether or not the contestants can really keep their hands off each other.<\/p>\n

Singletons are observed by an Amazon Alexa-style device called Lana, who deducts money from the $200,000 (around \u00a3157,000) prize pot if they break her no kissing or touching rules.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But while Jawahir Khalifa and Nick Kici were voted last season\u2019s winners by the rest of the cast<\/a>, who is in with a chance of stealing the crown this year? Read on to find out everything you need to know about the Too Hot To Handle season 5 cast.<\/span><\/p>\n

With 13 siblings, Dre is used to having to be loud to make his voice and presence heard.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Netflix, the 23-year-old graduate \u201cgoes on a date with someone new every day of the week that ends in a \u2018Y\u2019\u201d \u2013 so how will he fare with Lana keeping watch in the retreat?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhether he\u2019s hosting a party on the Jersey Shore or spraying bottles of champagne in a New York club, heads always turn when he walks into a room,\u201d Netflix says of the 24-year-old model and banker.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hailing from London, personal trainer Alex\u2019s mane of hair is usually his biggest worry!<\/span><\/p>\n

Netflix says of the 28-year-old: \u201cAlex has masked his indecisiveness under the guise of being spontaneous. He\u2019s not breaking your heart, he\u2019s just booked to go away last minute!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, when Lana forces Alex to stay in one place at the retreat and confront feelings head-on, how will this jet-setting lothario manage?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cChristine comes across as someone who is used to getting her own way with guys, but in reality, she feigns getting the ick if she suspects she\u2019s not a guy\u2019s number one girl,\u201d reveals Netflix. \u201cLana is likely to bring this to Christine\u2019s attention and encourage her to confront this head-<\/span>on. Will Christine flourish under Lana\u2019s gaze or flee the retreat?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Of the Houston-born beauty, Netflix says: \u201cCourtney operates as a boss in the boardroom and the bedroom. Courtney is the cheerleader every girl needs in their corner and puts the loyal in loyalty, but will Lana be welcomed into her clique or will she become Courtney\u2019s ultimate enemy?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cElys is in her element flirting with an international roster, but with so much off the table, things could go downhill after Lana\u2019s arrival,\u201d says Netflix.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLana\u2019s going to need to watch out,\u201d Netflix adds. \u201cThis singing siren isn\u2019t used to taking no for an answer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The 24-year-old, from Arizona, will have a tough decision on his hands after Lana\u2019s demands \u2013 and Netflix teases: \u201cWill money, mates or Hunter\u2019s mojo take the lead?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIf Lana wants someone who is cheeky, charming and a challenge, then she\u2019s going to love having Louis in the retreat,\u201d Netflix says of the 22-year-old. \u201cHis hobbies include boxing, football\u2026 and making a girl fall in love for the night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs someone who spent a lot of their school years in detention, Louis has never been one to follow rules. He\u2019s likely to do his best to steal the girls from Lana\u2019s gaze and we bet this dapper sweet talker won\u2019t have to try too hard.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWill Megan be up for the challenge of digging deep into where she\u2019s going wrong in relationships or will the boy band looks of Lana\u2019s other guests be too much of a distraction?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
