Stranded on Honeymoon Island: Cast, trailer, release date, host for BBC's answer to MAFS and Love Is Blind

Stranded on Honeymoon Island, which will see 12 unlucky-in-love singles matched onto couples and then sent to a deserted island on their honeymoon, was first announced last year. But, now it’s only a few weeks until the show deubts on the BBC more details have been released.

We now know the couples will be created at a speed dating event in London. They will then get married and immediately be sent to a tropical island to start their honeymoon - but it won’t be the idyllic luxury setting many newlyweds enjoy.

The BBC has teased that the newlyweds will be "isolated and pitted against the forces of nature" on remote beaches, as they face unexpected challenges. The show synopsis, which has just been released by the broadcast reads: “Fledgling relationships are soon put to the test as the couples live out their honeymoon together and fend for themselves with few resources. Together they must communicate and collaborate to get by, with nowhere to run when the going gets tough. Will an escape from modern life bring them closer together or push them apart? Will it lead to love or loathing?"

Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC, called McCall "the ideal addition to this bold and innovative dating reality show" and "the perfect guide for viewers as the couples embark on the love story of a lifetime".
