The Language of Love cast: Meet the stars of Channel 4’s new reality show

The Language of Love is the new Channel 4 reality dating show – meet the single daters taking part here!

The Language of Love sees a group of Brits and a group of Spaniards pairing up at a dreamy Spanish country estate to see if they can find romance… despite not speaking each other’s language.

The couples will take part in challenges and tasks to help them test their connection as well as learning more about each other’s countries, their culture and their languages.

At the end of the series, will they choose amor or adiós as they decide to call it quits, stay together long distance, or perhaps move country to be with their new found love.

Davina McCall hosts the new series alongside Spanish TV host, actor and singer Ricky Merino, who will be on hand to interpret how the couples’ relationships are developing.

The Language of Love airs Tuesday nights at 10PM on Channel 4 and All 4.
