Channel 4 is 'rebooting iconic Four Weddings reality TV series' after ten years off-air

Channel 4 is reportedly rebooting an iconic reality series where four couples compete for their dream honeymoon.

Four Weddings originally aired on Sky Living from 2009 until 2013, with one episode including Steps singer Faye Tozer's wedding to Michael Smith.

A decade later, Channel 4 are said to be bringing back the legendary TV series, which sees the brides and grooms rate each other's special day.

It has been reported that the reboot will be made by Multistory Media, who are the team behind Come Dine With Me and production is meant to start later this year.

"Producers have seen the success of Married At First Sight and are looking to make Four Weddings a hit with even more drama than the original," a source claimed.

"Everyone loves a wedding show, especially after the success of Don't Tell The Bride," reports The Sun.

The Mirror has contacted Channel 4 for comment.

The series is similar to Come Dine with Me and involves four brides and their four grooms attending each other's weddings. They rate the ceremony on the dresses, venues, food, and overall experience.

After rating the weddings out of 10, the couples find out who won and got to go on a luxury honeymoon. The show was so popular that other countries, including Australia, Canada, Finland, Poland and Russia, created their own versions.

Channel 4 has been busy creating new content as it was recently reported that Paddy McGuinness was announced as the face of a brand new big-budget game show.

The comedian-turned-presenter looks set to return to the broadcaster which kickstarted his TV career after being unveiled as the host of Tempting Fortune.

He is reportedly going to front a new show on Channel 4 based in South Africa where 12 strangers will be stranded in the wilderness having been forced to give up their luxuries in a bid to win £300,000.

The contestants will endure an 18-day trek but must resist any temptations such as comfy beds, taxis and eateries in the huge test of character. Anyone who succumbs to the desires will pay high prices for the luxury and will be deducted from the prize pot.

A TV source told The Sun : "Tempting Fortune really is good fortune for Paddy.

"It’s a glossy, big-budget show with human relationships at its heart and a quirky twist - the sort of television Channel 4 does so well and everyone is excited about Paddy fronting it. He remains hugely popular with viewers."
