The new show will reportedly see sexually inexperienced contestants try their hand at love. <\/p>
It looks like there might be a new contender in the dating show arena, with Channel 4 reportedly working on a Love Island<\/a> inspired reality show with a twist \u2013 it will be virgins looking for love instead of the seasoned casanovas we\u2019re used to seeing in ITV\u2019s Mallorcan villa.<\/p>\n According to The Sun<\/a>, the broadcaster\u2019s dating series will be titled Virgin Island and will see a bunch of sexually inexperienced contestants head to, you guessed it, an island \u2013 where they\u2019ll try their hand at love.<\/p> A source reportedly told The Sun that the series was \u201cvery 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\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cOf course, it has echoes of Love Island, but it\u2019s 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,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n RadioTimes.com<\/a> has reached out to Channel 4 for comment.<\/p>\n Should the show air, it will join a bustling genre that includes the likes of Netflix\u2019s Too Hot to Handle<\/a> and Love Is Blind<\/a>. We\u2019ll have to wait and see if it measures up to RadioTimes.com<\/strong> readers\u2019 favourite, the classic Blind Date<\/a>.<\/p>
