Irish siblings set to take part in new Netflix dating show

FORMER Irish dancer champion siblings are set to take part in Netflix’s new dating reality show.

Andy and Rachel Foster from Ballymoney in Northern Ireland will star in the cast of Netflix’s new dating show Dated & Related.

The series features eight pairs of single brothers and sisters shacked up together inside a luxury villa in the South of France.

According to show bosses, the Irish brother and sister duo have all the guys and girls falling at their feet, unfortunately, no one has been quite up to par.

The synopsis reads: “Sporty surfer, Andy, has been in one serious relationship and admits he can often fall too easily. He’s been focussed on his career as a quantity surveyor and having fun partying with his mates until now, but he’s ready to find an all natural, surfer bombshell to settle down with.

“Rachel, a pocket rocket and complete firecracker, has no qualms living the free and single life. She’s a well-travelled free spirit looking for someone to tame her partying ways, but she’s extremely picky and won’t fall for anyone less than a solid 10/10.”

Hosted by Melinda Berry, the 10-episode series arrived on Netflix on Friday, September 2.

Melinda will oversee the awkward scenario of the siblings dating in front of their brother or sister's eyes, which on some occasions sparked conflict due to overprotective attitudes.

In a teaser clip for the new series, Melinda says: “Imagine being swept away to a luxury villa in the South of France.

“You're there to find love in the most romantic country in the world with other gorgeous singles. Oh, did I not mention the catch?

“You'll be joined by your brother or sister who's also looking for love. Why would anyone do this? Because finding love isn't easy and when you're searching for your soul mate it helps to have someone in your corner.”
