MoneySavingExpert.com founder Martin Lewis has shut down rumours that he is being considered as a presenter for a spin-off of Love Island. ITV announced recently that it is on the prowl for "vibrant single parents across the UK who are in search of love" to appear on The Romance Retreat.
The format of the show will be very similar to that of Love Island, with contestants making their way to a luxury villa where it is hoped they will find the love of their life. Whilst the concepts of Love Island and The Romance Retreat are very similar, it is not yet known whether the stars of the latter will be competing for a cash prize.
The Romance Retreat has caught the eye of a number of celebrities, including Linda Robson and Alison Hammond, both of whom said they would be interested in signing up for the show on Loose Women and This Morning respectively. Regular This Morning guest and former politician Gyles Brandreth told Alison that his grandchildren 'rather sweetly' nominated him to appear on the new dating show.
