Netflix has announced a UK version of dating format Love Is Blind with husband-and-wife duo Matt Willis and Emma Willis as the hosts.
The show sees singletons go on a series of dates with each other, but with the twist that they are unable to see one another - instead forcing them to form a connection on a non-physical level.
Eventually they may choose to get married despite not having met, and after they do meet they have several weeks to decide whether to follow through on their engagement.
The US original has now run for four seasons on Netflix, while the British iteration will arrive on the streaming platform next year.
"I'm so excited to be presenting the UK version of Love Is Blind with Emma. We love the show!" said Matt Willis. "It's been such a dream working together and fascinating to watch the process unfold.
"Experiencing this new project side by side has been really amazing and I can't wait for people to come on this journey with us."
Emma Willis added: "I love to play matchmaker with my friends and love LOVE so I am so excited to be co-hosting the first ever UK version of Love Is Blind.
"I'm intrigued to see people connect on a purely emotional and mental level right off the bat, without visuals playing a part.
"Plus – you're getting double Willis! I've loved going to work with Matt and we're both obsessed with the show, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity!"
Netflix has also confirmed that the fifth season of the US Love Is Blind will premiere on September 22.
