Adrian

Age: 37
Occupation: Digital Designer
From: Manchester
Instagram username: @adriansanderson

Adrian is a confident and caring northerner with a heart of gold. He’s a creative person who loves expressing himself through fashion and takes time on his appearance. He loves socialising on a night out, hosting dinner parties and movie nights at home. Adrian hasn’t had the best experience with the relationships he’s been in and puts it down to people taking advantage of his nice guy persona.

He’s looking for an upbeat and positive partner who’ll make him laugh, be up for an adventure and, most importantly, be someone he can trust.

Age: 31
Occupation: Recruitment HR Coordinator
From: Birmingham
Instagram username: @dukacav

Duka has lived in the UK since he was 10 years old, when his family fled the former Yugoslavia to escape conflict. He arrived not speaking a word of English and was bullied because of it. His struggles growing up had a definitive role in shaping the man he’s become; he finds it difficult to let people in and puts up his guard when people start to get close emotionally.

Duka loves art and poetry and wants to find an ‘Instagram girl’ that loves looking after herself, but can also have a deep conversation about world issues.

 

George Roberts

Instagram username: @george__roberts__

Dad-of-four George is generous, loyal and dedicated to his kids. After divorcing from his wife, George has struggled to find that special someone who he can share his life with. He loves his life in the countryside and lives with his two eldest children, whilst his two younger daughters live with their mother.

He wants someone who excites him, someone to keep him on his toes and who can be open emotionally.

 

Jordan Emmett-Connelly

Age: 29
Occupation: Account Manager
From: Darlington
Instagram username: @jordanemmettconnelly

Jordan is a fun, outgoing guy with a massive sense of adventure. He’s a spontaneous guy who owns his own home, has a great job, is close to his family and does all his own cooking – by his own admission “I’m a great catch!” Jordan’s open about his emotions and feelings. However when it comes to relationships, he is not willing to settle with someone and cruise through life for the sake of being comfortable.

He wants to find true love and a real connection. He acknowledges that he’s single because he’s too particular about what he wants and knows he needs to relax and give girls more of a chance.

 

Kwame Badu

Age: 42
Occupation: Business Consultant
From: London
Instagram username: @kwame.badu

Kwame is a confident and sophisticated business owner who exudes charm and style. He says he’s done it all: he’s travelled extensively, established himself in a successful career, got married, had kids and got divorced. He’s a self-professed ladies man who can talk the talk and although he admits he’s a bit cocky, he also says he’s a nice guy and not arrogant.

Growing up, Kwame lacked confidence. He puts this down to his appearance, but this changed once he reached college where he bulked up and grew his beard. With his newfound confidence he entered and won Mr Ghana in 2000 and has never looked back since. Kwame came from humble beginnings, but his father pushed him towards education and he is now a successful bachelor who wants another chance at finding love.

 

Pjay Finch

Age: 31
Occupation: Dancer/ Performer
From: Birmingham
Instagram username: @pjayfinch

Birmingham boy Pjay wants to find love with someone with whom he can create a peaceful and loving environment. Pjay is part of the world famous, Dreamboys. He’s never been short of attention, yet he can’t seem to find the right person that he wants to settle down with and his job has been a barrier to finding the right woman.

His best friends are his mum and his sister. He tells him mum everything and his future wife will need her seal of approval!

Richie

Age: 51
Occupation: Sales Advisor
From: Sheffield
Instagram username: @richiedewsuk

Richie worked in the music industry for 23 years, and was constantly on the road, meeting new people, which he credits with keeping him young. He’s written a song, which appeared on a Russell Watson album, and boasts that he’d be able to get him to perform at his wedding. Richie has also done session work with Sheryl Crow (… but didn’t manage to get her number).

Richie considers himself to be deep, emotional, a good laugh, clever, and socially and emotionally intelligent.

 

Thomas Hartley

Age: 31
Occupation: Mental Health Care Assistant
From: Liverpool
Instagram username: @thomashartleyofficial

Thomas is bursting with energy, sarcasm, and bawdy humour and, for as long as he can remember, he’s always loved being the centre of attention. He’s extremely sociable, unapologetically loud, and not one to back down in an argument. Thomas’ worst nightmare would be for someone to describe him as “nice”. When he enters a room, Thomas is used to having all eyes on him.

He’s looking for a partner to help balance him out.

April Banbury

Age: 32
Occupation: Dress Designer
From: London
Instagram username: @aprilbanbury

April is a dress designer and successful wedding dress designer and former Miss Great Britain. However, she’s not so good at finding the right guy; in fact April’s friends joke about her being ‘always the bridal designer, never the bride’. For April this joke is wearing a bit thin. Determined to change this label, she’s ready to take the plunge and put her love life in the hands of the relationship experts.

April wants someone who won’t mind her being independent and who wants to live life to its fullest with her. It’s a dealbreaker if they don’t love cheese.

 

Chanita

Age: 29
Occupation: Social Worker
From: Derby
Instagram username: @chanita__x

Chanita is a caring, loyal and protective social worker from Derby. After leaving school, she decided she wanted to spend her life helping young people and has dedicated her life to being a social worker. She makes friends wherever she goes and is always checking in on them to make sure they’re all okay – lots of people think of her as their best friend.

Having come out of a 10-year relationship two years ago, Chanita feels now is the time for her to meet her future partner. Other than helping young people through her work, Chanita’s big ambition is to be happily married with a family and a stable home.

 

Jenna Robinson

Age: 32
Occupation: Zero Waste Shop Owner
From: Blackpool
Instagram username: @jennarobo

Small business-owner Jenna never envisaged herself getting married. She hated the traditional concept of marriage, as it did not sit right with her that traditionally the woman would take the man’s name. She wants to find love, commit to someone and build a long life together.

 

Jess

Age: 31
Occupation: Dental Hygienist
From: Cambridgeshire
Instagram username: @jesspotter_xx

Jess describes herself as unique, weird, but extremely fun and outgoing. For Jess, the key ingredient to life is laughter and enjoying herself. She is not afraid to do something that will make her look silly; she will happily get up on a table and start dancing and believes she needs her future partner to match the same energy as her. Equally, Jess says if she has the hump with someone, then they will know about it.

A self-proclaimed Harry Potter fan, she will happily force her future partner to watch a Harry Potter marathon with her and wear one of her cloaks, even if they hate it!

 

Kasia

Age: 36
Occupation: Businesswoman
From: London
Instagram username: @beginswithak

Kasia left school at 16 to have her first child and says she felt that the odds were stacked against her. However, through sheer graft and determination, Kasia has not only managed to raise two children and have a successful career, but she’s also launched her own business, a successful body contouring clinic.

Now that her kids are older, she’s decided to focus on herself and (hopefully) meet a partner that she can settle down with forever. Despite being the boss at work, she’s after a man who can take the lead, but shares the same drive and passion that she does.

 

Lara Eyre

Age: 49
Occupation: Waitress
From: Nottingham

Canadian ex dancer Lara has lived an extraordinary life. She’s been married and divorced twice and has led a luxury lifestyle. She once flew from Japan to New York for dinner and was used to spending vast sums on clothes. Her life is very different today though. Lara’s relationship role models are her parents who have been married for 51 years and are one another’s best friend. Lara says they are madly in love all these years later.

Lara finds herself trying to force every relationship she has to be like theirs, often letting red flags slide to try and make the relationship work. Although she’s been single for 12 years now, Lara still believes in fairy-tale romance and is forever looking for her prince, to introduce to her two sons.

 

Whitney Elizabeth

Age: 31
Occupation: PA
From: St Albans
Instagram username: @itswhitneyelizabeth

Fun, confident and sexy, Whitney isn’t short of male attention, but in order for her to settle down and commit, a man has got to tick all of her boxes. This has never happened. After losing her mother, Whitney has had a tough couple of years. Her mum was her best friend, and though she had a strict upbringing, she’s proud it made her the strong and independent woman she now is.

Although she has dated lots of men on a superficial level, she’s never found anyone good enough to bring home to her family. She has such high expectations for her potential partner and worries she’ll never actually let anyone in. Now her biggest fear is ending up 50 and single, alone with her dogs!

Zoe Clifton

Age: 30
Occupation: Quantity Surveyor
From: West Midlands
Instagram username: @zoeclifton

Zoe is an outgoing, ambitious and successful professional. She works hard and plays even harder. She describes herself as dominant and assertive but is looking for a genuine connection, someone she can share her softer, more intimate side with.

Having recently turned 30, Zoe no longer wants to be known as a serial dater. She is bored with the stale repetition of dating and wants to settle down and eventually start a family. Zoe is hoping 2022 will be the year she finally finds true love.

 

Sophie Brown

Age:26
From: Manchester
Instagram username: @sophiehlbrown

Sophie is independent, financially stable and doesn’t need a man to make her happy. However, she would love to find a soulmate. She’s spent the last seven years working hard in tech, climbing the career ladder to get to where she is now. She owns her own property and appreciates the finer things in life.

Having lived in Manchester for the last five and a half years, she’s struggling to find men on the same trajectory as her, with the same values and goals, who won’t be intimidated by her confidence and success.

Age:

Instagram username: @reallifeofgemrose

Gemma describes herself as “a bad bitch”. She’s fiercely independent, bold and a bit wild. Gemma is outspoken, real, but incredibly loving. Gemma knows who she is, has endless self-confidence and prides herself on always standing up for herself.

With her tattooed body and daring red hair, she is not afraid to stand out from the crowd and is never shy of male attention. However, she’s yet to find a man who can add substance to her life. As a proud mother of two and owner of a successful hair salon, Gemma lives life to the fullest and feels she has it all except for one thing.

Matt expresses his individuality through his unconventional look and style, which sometimes means people are quick to form a negative opinion. Underneath the tattoos though, he has a heart of gold and would do anything for his friends and family.

Johnathan is a confident, spontaneous adventurer who often jets off by himself to go exploring. He doesn’t conform to the norm and very much sees himself as an outlier doing his own thing. When he is at home he works as a carpenter and has done since he left school.

With his life very much together, he feels there’s one piece of the puzzle missing. His longest relationship was two years, towards the end, Johnathan wanted to settle down but unfortunately it came to an end. He says he’s very much ready to settle down and just needs the right girl – someone with a natural look who is easy going and up for an adventure.
