Davina McCall has been announced as the host for a "bold" new dating show, which will put brand new marriages to the ultimate test.
Stranded on Honeymoon Island, which is due to land on BBC One and iPlayer later this year, will see twelve single people who have struggled to find love matched into couples at a speed dating event in London.
In a twist, each couple will then get married and immediately be sent to a tropical island to start their honeymoon - but it's not as idyllic as it sounds.

The BBC has teased that the newlyweds will be "isolated and pitted against the forces of nature" on remote beaches, as they face unexpected challenges.
"Fledgling relationships are soon put to the test as the couples live out their honeymoon together and fend for themselves with few resources," the BBC said. "Together they must communicate and collaborate to get by, with nowhere to run when the going gets tough. Will an escape from modern life bring them closer together or push them apart? Will it lead to love or loathing?"
What to Read Next
McCall, who has appeared on major reality shows including Big Brother and The Masked Singer UK, will take on the role of host, as well as being a guide for the new couples.
"I am a serial matchmaker... So I jumped at the chance to host the BBC's new dating show," she said. "I can't wait to meet our couples and find out how they get on when they're Stranded on Honeymoon Island. For some it will be challenging and others, idyllic!!! Hopefully it's the start of some very beautiful relationships."

Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC, called McCall "the ideal addition to this bold and innovative dating reality show" and "the perfect guide for viewers as the couples embark on the love story of a lifetime".
The series is being produced by CPL Productions, the team behind reality hits Married at First Sight UK and Love is Blind UK, with the show set to span 12 hour-long episodes.
McCall confirmed last year that she had undergone surgery to remove a benign brain tumour, later updating fans on her recovery as she said that her "short term memory really is improving a lot every day".
"Every day I feel stronger and stronger. I just wanted to say thanks for all of your support, it meant the world to me and my family," she added.
Stranded on Honeymoon Island will air later this year on BBC One and iPlayer.
