Too Hot To Handle makers announce new dating show The Love Trap hosted by Joel Dommett

And it sounds pretty 'brutal'

The people behind Netflix smash Too Hot To Handle have announced new dating show The Love Trap.

The eight-part series is due to air on Channel 4 later this year, doubtless filling a Love Island-shaped hole in the hearts of reality TV lovers.

However, word has it the dating show – hosted by The Masked Dancer star Joel Dommett – will be pretty “brutal”.

In fact, The Love Trap will see unlucky-in-love contestants dumped through a trap door!

The new Too Hot To Handle! What do we know about The Love Trap?

The Love Trap is reality TV and a game show rolled into one.

It’ll feature 12 female contestants who try to win the heart of one single man on a series of dates.

However, only six of the single ladies are genuine – and the single man is tasked with working out who really wants to date him and who wants to bag the cash prize instead.

And, with a five-figure sum on offer, it might just be a tricky task!

A source told The Sun: “Each of the female ­contestants will be going all out to prove they are genuine and the man will then dump whoever he thinks is trying to con him through the Love Trap.

“He needs to be shrewd however, as dumping the wrong women will leave him with more money- grabbers than genuine ­lovers.”

He started filming it last week and said of the new show: “I love lying, love and trap doors so it’s all I’ve ever wanted. It’s genuinely a huge idea and I’m excited they have trusted me at the helm.”
