Here at RadioTimes.com, we love a dating show - whether it’s Love Island or I Kissed A Boy, the trashier the better, in our eyes.

The Netflix hit was last aired in December 2022, but in just a few short weeks, a new group of singletons will be back under the watchful eye of the Amazon Alexa-style entity, Lana, and must comply with her no-kissing or touching rules in a bid to walk away with the full $200,000 (£155,000) cash prize.

Every time a contestant breaks one of these rules, money is deducted from the final sum - so it’s in everyone’s best interests to resist temptation!

And while the cast has already been announced - including three British hopefuls - when can we expect to see Too Hot to Handle back on our screens, and how many episodes will drop at a time?

This time, the cast of ten singles will believe they are retreating to a lavish yacht in the Caribbean and competing on a new dating show, ‘Love Overboard’, hosted by a handsome and mysterious captain.

But the truth will soon be revealed that they are instead contestants on THTH - and must refrain from all physical intimacy if they want to be in with a chance of walking away with that whopping cash prize!

Among the singletons on the show from Blighty are personal trainer Alex Snell, model Louis Russell and personal assistant Megan Thomson.

Joining them will be a cast hailing from mainly the USA, as well Swiss model Elys Hutchinson.
