Northern Ireland siblings to take part in new Netflix dating show

Two siblings from Northern Ireland are taking part in a new Netflix dating show that launches next week.

Dated and Related will see 16 singles flown from across the world to a villa in the south of France where they are going to get the chance to mingle.

But they won't be alone as they are going to be accompanied by their sibling, giving their opinion whether they want it or not. The ten part series launches on Netflix on September 2.

Of the show's participants, two are travelling from Northern Ireland - Rachel and Andy Foster. The former Irish dancing champions have all the guys and girls falling at their feet, but unfortunately nobody has been quite up to par so far.

Quantity surveyor and keen surfer, Andy, has been in one serious relationship and admits he can often fall in love too easily. He's been focused on his career and partying with his mates until now, but now he's ready to find an all natural, surfer bombshell to settle down with.

Rachel, who works as a café manager, is described as a "pocket rocket and complete firecracker who has no qualms about 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.

In a post shared on her Instgram, Rachel said: "Before you ask we don’t date each other. Hard to believe me and Andy jetted off to France this time last year to film with Netflix.

"It’s been hard to keep this one quiet but we can finally announce that we will be on your TV screens next week."

Dated and Related will be hosted by Too Hot To Handle's Melinda Berry, with each episode lasting 45 minutes.
