Too Hot to Handle season 3: cast of Netflix dating series, Instagram profiles - and when new episodes come out

Too Hot to Handle is Netflix’s vainer, more outrageous version of Love Island, and it’s back with the promise of being ‘steamier than ever’.

With contestants arriving in their bathing suits and attempting to remain celibate for the series’ duration, viewers watch on as contestants provide entertainment in the form of terrible chat up lines, flirting and light entertainment.

The island is overseen by Lana, the virtual assistant that keeps all the peace on the dating show by enlisting the rules.

Most of the show’s contestants aged below 25, in no rush for long term love and in pursuit of quick cash and attention from the opposite sex.

So, who is in the line up for season three - and when does it drop on Netflix UK? This is what you need to know.
