Pick of the Day
Love Triangle, 10.00pm, Channel 4/9.00pm, E4
In this explosive new dating show, six singletons who are desperate to find love are faced with a dilemma.
Do they pick someone who ticks their usual boxes of what they want or break their dating habits by opting for someone who's more what they need?
Having chosen just one of two expertly picked matches based on their text message conversations alone, the singletons meet their blind date, before moving in together to fast-track their relationship.
But what they don't know is that just as they're settling in with their new love interests, the suitors who they rejected will make a dramatic, unexpected return as two become three in a newly formed love triangle!
After living with both new partners, each singleton faces a final decision over which of the two they want to continue a relationship with and who they'll kiss goodbye forever.
