ITV2’s The Cabins will see a new batch of singles join the show on their quest for love, moving in with their date on the first day they meet.
Fans of the reality show will see the 12 new singles rock up to a romantic chalet-style property in a far-flung corner of the UK this week, The Mirror can exclusively reveal.
After 24 hours of uninterrupted quality time with their love interest, the pair will then have to decide if they want to stick together or call it quits.
Here's a look at the hopeful cast, which includes a professional boxer, a national league footballer and a face that will be familiar...
Meet the boys
Bertie, 23
The decorating business owner from Glastonbury in Somerset described himself as “a relationship type of person”, but has been single for a year.
He said: “I've done my partying time and now I’m looking for the right person to settle down with.
“I’m single now because I’ve chosen to be single. There are options. I’m not being big-headed but I do get a lot of opportunities to go on dates. My DMs aren’t dry! I wanted that time to do me and find myself again.”
Jack, 26
The land and planning manager from Doncaster said he is going on The Cabins because he’s fed up with small talk on dating apps.
He said: “I want to skip that and go straight to, ‘Should we just get on a plane and go to Santorini?’
“To find a girl who is going to fit in my life is quite highly impossible but that’s why I thought the anomaly of this show could just throw a spanner in there and I could meet the love of my life. Hopefully - that’s the aim.”
On what he’s looking for, he said: “I like intelligence and I like someone who can talk about a variety of different things. So I don’t just want a girl who is going to laugh and giggle at me all day long.
“For one, I'm not that funny but two I like to be made to laugh myself. I like to talk about the Great Pyramid of Giza one second and then talk about what was on MTV music channel the next.”
Freddie, 30
The sports and leisure manager from Sutton said he thinks his height is one of the things that has kept him single, as it “eliminates quite a few girls”.
He said: “I find a lot of people my age now have kids or they are married. I don’t go out as much so that probably is why I’m single.”
Freddie said he’s looking for a woman “from a good family, obviously kind, good banter” and avoiding someone who is “proper, proper hard work”.
Bayley, 24
The Exeter DJ said he is “fed up” with dating apps and wants to meet someone in person, so has turned to The Cabins.
He said: “I’ve been DJ-ing since I was 17, regularly in nightclubs since I was 18. Went to Ibiza and DJ’d out there a couple of times.
“I’ve not found what I’m looking for yet. This is going to sound pessimistic, but you’re either going to be with this person forever, or you’re not. And that’s really stuck in my head at times.”
Joseph, 23
London national league footballer Joseph is coming on The Cabins because “it’s something new, something I’ve never done”.
He said: “It’s quite scary but exciting at the same time. It’s a new step to love in my journey of life.
“It’s a cold world out here… maybe I’m just picking the wrong people because I’m rushing for love.”
Reece, 24
Professional boxer Reece said that people often assume he is reserved because he has hearing aids - but said it helps on the ring.
He said: "Personally, the fighting side, believe it or not it helps a lot. It shuts off the background noise and it helps you be a bit more focussed."
The Ipswich boxer said he hasn’t been very successful in love yet, adding: “Hopefully this is another way to find the person you wake up to in 50 years’ time.”
He said: “I guess I just haven’t been chasing anyone. I’m not lazy, I just haven’t been chasing.”
Meet the girls
Megan, 19
A familiar face to The Cabins fans will be back on the reality show - Megan has decided to return for a second date after she was fixed up with Timmy, who she said was “too immature”.
She said: “We are on very different pages. It still allowed me to learn a lot about myself and what I want from a partner.
“I think because I stayed true to myself and how I really am, Timmy realised that things would never work between me and him.”
She continued: “Regardless of my last date I still enjoyed the whole experience and dating someone in that scenario.
“I will carry on being myself until I find someone that it works with.”
Megan will be joined by her older sister Annabelle…
Annabelle, 23
Annabelle runs a beauty training academy and says she has tried “every other form of dating”, but with no luck.
She said: “Actually being forced to really give it a chance and stay in there will be really good for me - rather than seeing a profile online and thinking, hmm, not keen.”
As for her hidden talents, she said her only hobby is the gym: “I can lift quite heavy in the gym. I can back squat 110 kilos. I also do yoga.”
Rachel, 25
The Scottish singer/songwriter says he has never been on a blind date before, so “why not televise it?”
She said: “I’ve not met the right person yet for me. I’ve been too scared since having my heart broken.
“I’ve put my guard up a lot and then I’ve always compared the love I did have with them with every relationship I’ve had, which I know I shouldn’t.”
Jamilah, 22
The cosmetic injector from London said she is still single because she can be “quite picky”.
She said: “A lot of guys I come across haven’t been as honest as they could have been when it comes to certain things. For me it’s all about transparency.
“If I sense that there’s something funny going on or I just feel like something’s not quite right, sometimes I can just ghost, block and delete. Once I’ve made up my mind about something it’s kind of made up.”
Orienne, 22
From Buckinghamshire, Orienne works in a supported living home for adults with disabilities while also studying at university to become a social worker.
She said of her love life: “I think I’ve chosen the wrong people and the wrong people have chosen me.
“I feel like I’ve always struggled. I feel like my image doesn’t match my personality.
“I love hair, I love make-up. I like dressing up and things like that. But my personality I’m actually quite down-to-earth and quite genuine. I always say that I’m desired by people but not necessarily wanted.”
Montana, 24
The Bournemouth confidence coach said she has been “very unlucky in love”.
She said: “I have always gone for the wrong person. I tend to fall very quickly and I’m very trusting, so it’s made me quite blindsided before.
“I’m too trusting. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I give everything on a platter and they take me for granted.”
“So for The Cabins to be able to pick someone for me, with my best interests at heart, rather than me going full in [is perfect]."
