The Cabins is the latest dating reality show from ITV2 in which instead of a Love Island villa in the sunshine, love hungry couples will hook up in log cabins and hot tubs.
There is no time for small talk as the couples will be forced to live together in their cabins, with an opportunity to get to know each other in more intimate surrounds.
With a beautiful location and a hot tub to help make the encounter more steamy, what could go wrong?
Well, after 24 hours, it is make or break for the budding romance as they have to choose whether to stick or twist.
Twelve singletons are heading to The Cabins, from Miss Diamond UK to a professional footballer to a murder mystery actress.

ABRAHAM

Why have you signed up to The Cabins?
“It’s a once in a lifetime experience. What I’m specifically looking for is a partner or a best friend that could lead into that. That department of my life has been extremely unfortunate.
“It would be nice to just relax and have someone to be my partner, my best friend, my girlfriend at the same time. I’ve seen it happen to a lot of my friends, I don’t know when it’s going to happen to me.”
HOLLY
AGE: 23
OCCUPATION: CABIN CREW, MAKE-UP ARTIST AND INFLUENCER
FROM: STAFFORDSHIRE

Why do you think you’re single?
“My friends and family would say it’s because I’m quite a big personality. I’m timid at first, but when you’ve met me, I do come out of my shell a lot. People don’t expect that. People do get very intimidated by me.
“And I feel like I haven’t found the right person. I go for the wrong person. Everyone I meet I think they’re amazing and then the red flags start to show.
“I don’t do enough background research before I get involved with someone. I fall deep really soon and within two days I’m like, ‘I’m going to marry them!’”
MAMUDO
AGE: 23
OCCUPATION: FOOTBALLER/ FOOTBALL COACHING
FROM: LIVERPOOL

What kind of date are you looking for in The Cabins?
“I’m looking for someone that can match my energy, have a laugh with. Someone who is family orientated. Someone who can push me and I can push to achieve great things in life.
“Someone that I can connect with. There needs to be loads of conversations.
“That’s the only way we’re going to be able to find out more about each other and talk about families, our personal life and just finding out more about them.”
ROBYN
AGE: 26
OCCUPATION: SALES EXECUTIVE
FROM: DONCASTER

Have you ever dated a celebrity?
“Ruben Loftus-Cheek, I messaged him – didn’t get any response, obviously. Even though he’s not playing for Chelsea at the moment, he’s on loan, he’s just my type. He’s gorgeous. And it’s a free season ticket, isn’t it!”
JESS
AGE: 24
OCCUPATION: PREVIOUSLY WALT DISNEY WORLD, CURRENTLY LOCAL PUB/BINGO HALL
FROM: NEWPORT, SOUTH WALES

What’s the worst date you’ve had? “We met on a night out in America. Added each other on Snapchat. We had mutual friends. Talked quite a lot. He was quite forward, asking all these questions.
“He invited me to his apartment for dinner. The food and conversation was fine. Then he started talking about marriage… he was complimenting me a lot. I was a bit taken aback.
“Then he started telling me about how he was really good at massages. It was all a bit too intense.”
SARAH
AGE: 26
OCCUPATION: WAITRESS AND MURDER MYSTERY ACTRESS, PT AND FITNESS MODEL
FROM: BLACKPOOL

Do you have tattoos?
“I’ve got a really bad one on my foot because I lost a bet. That was with an ex-girlfriend. I lost a game of pool and then the next day had to go in for a foot tattoo!
“It was the first thing that popped into my head – it says ‘ready, set, go’. I tried to get that covered and the cover up hurt too much. So I’ve got a sword that you can see ‘ready, set go’ underneath. It’s just a mess.
“I’ve also had seven names covered up on my a**e. I was only like 18…again I did that as a bet. I’ve had that covered now. And I have ‘me’ tattooed on my wedding ring finger, as I believe you should love yourself first.”
TOM
AGE: 26
OCCUPATION: NATIONAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER
FROM: LEEDS

How would you describe yourself/your dating style?
“If I’m with someone I’ll give everything until I have reason not to. For example, I dated a girl that lived in Ireland, I used to fly out every Monday and fly back every Wednesday to see her, every week for seven months.
“Once I got a completely new job to make it work with a girl. If I’m with someone I go above and beyond to make them happy.
“In my eyes everyone should be treated like a princess.”
SOFIA
AGE: 21
OCCUPATION: MISS DIAMOND UK / TATTOO APPRENTICE / MODEL
FROM: KENT

Do you have a hidden talent?
“I’m an international beauty queen. With my job being a tattoo apprentice, not many people know I do beauty pageants. They’re polar opposites but I join them together.
“Last year I won Miss Diamond United Kingdom. I was very lucky, both my mother and I – I persuaded her to enter – we both won the UK national title, so I was Miss Diamond United Kingdom and my mum Sonja won Classic Diamond United Kingdom for the over 45s. So they flew both of us out to Las Vegas.
“And then me and my mum both won internationally. So I won Miss Regency International and my mum won Classic Regency International. We competed against 100s of other countries.
“I didn’t think I was going to get anywhere. I was just there to have a little fun and try my hand at it. We won and then part of our prize was we both got to walk in New York fashion week.
“We won a cruise around the Cayman Islands. That was supposed to happen in June, but ‘Miss Corona’ came and ruined that for everyone. Fingers crossed next year we’ll fly out and hand over our titles in Las Vegas.”
WILL
AGE: 28
OCCUPATION: FAMILY RUN ELECTRICAL COMPANY
FROM: LONDON

How would you describe yourself?
“Joker, party boy, I’d choose parties over going out with my ex. Down to earth, family man, I’ve got like eight nieces and nephews. I’d like to say that I’m a good person.
“I’ve got a big circle of friends. I don’t always rely on a girl, I’ve lived on my own. I’m an independent man. I’m not into trouble.
“I speak nicely to girls. I’ve never been disrespectful, even when it ended. I’m not going to sit here and say I never told a girl what they wanted to hear, but I was never disrespectful.”
OLIVIA
AGE: 22
OCCUPATION: CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR A MOBILE COMPANY
FROM: HULL
(Image: ITV)
How would you describe yourself?
“A bit of a wild child. Really chaotic, my sister calls me. I do agree. I’m never quiet. The minute I open my eyes it’s just go, go, go.”
JOEL
AGE: 22
OCCUPATION: BIN MAN
FROM: SWANSEA
(Image: ITV)
What’s the best date you’ve had?
“I wouldn’t say anything is amazing – most of the time it’s like a one hour/ two hour date.
“If you’re going to have an amazing date you’ve got to have the right girlfriend to do that, not just a one-off date. I haven’t had that yet, I’ve not had a long-term girlfriend.”
CHARLOTTE
AGE: 29
OCCUPATION: OPERATIONS MANAGER FOR A COFFEE COMPANY
FROM: STAFFORD
(Image: ITV)
Do you have a type?
“I’ve only been dating women for about 18 months. I feel like I’m still learning my type. I definitely like the more alternative girls. Tattoos, piercings… and more tomboy than really girly.”
*The Cabins starts Monday January 4th at 9pm on ITV2.
