ITV2 has unveiled the cast of singletons appearing in new reality dating show The Cabins.
The twelve singles will be throwing out the rule book and deleting their dating apps as they attempt to find true love.
From the moment they meet the couples immediately move in together, as their date begins in their very own exclusive log cabins, complete with simmering hot tubs and set in beautiful surroundings within the UK.
Nestled together in their intimate cabins, the singletons will have quality time to really get to know their date – all while cameras watch on. From heartfelt moments or declarations of love, to awkward silences and difficult dating conversations, viewers will be able to follow all the antics and find out if the sparks fly or quickly fizzle out.
Having made it through the first 24 hours they then have to decide if they would like to spend more time together – or call it a day and walk away.
The Cabins starts Monday, 4 January at 9PM on ITV2

“Unfortunately, I’ve not had much luck in the past,” says Tom of his past relationships. “I’ve had 4 or 5 relationships. The first one lasted 4 years, we had a house and everything. She was ready to settle down and have kids, but I was 21/22 and it was a bit too soon for me.
“After that every year I had a relationship that lasted 10 months to a year, but something would pop up and we’d end up parting ways. So I thought I might as well give something else a try as I’m not doing very well.”

Will shares: “I’ve been single for three years. I was in a five year relationship before that, she’s really the only girlfriend I’ve had. She wanted to move on, have kids, and I didn’t want to settle down. The first two years of me being single I probably was a bit of a bad boy.
“I’m trying to maybe settle down, but it’s getting harder for me. Trying to find someone who likes me, it’s like trying to stand up in a hammock. I thought this is a good chance to have some fun and hopefully someone who doesn’t judge me. You meet someone now, they instantly research you on Instagram. It’ll just be judging me on the first 24 hours in there.”

RYAN
Age: 30
Job: MODEL
From: WINCHESTER, LIVES IN LONDON
Ryan says: “I love the concept of spending 24 hours with someone, not knowing who that person is and then getting surprised with someone that you either love or hate. I’ve done online dating before. With the apps, you’ve already got to know someone, you’ve got to know them through the pictures, this eliminates all of that. This is diving into the mystery of the unknown.
“I’m looking for someone that I really gel with and click with, we both share the same sense of humour and, equally, someone I’m attracted to physically, that’s important.”
CLINTON
Age: 24
Job: PERSONAL TRAINER

Job: SINGER / SONGWRITER AND MASSAGE THERAPIST

On what he’s looking for in a date, Andras shares: “Someone who is really kind and sweet and solid. My life is quite fast paced working in film and theatre – it would be nice to have someone to ground me in reality.
