Here’s a first look at ITV2’s new dating series The Cabins which starts in January

ITV2 has given us a first look at its brand new dating series The Cabins, which is set to start in January.

The series teases simmering hot tubs, romantic crackling fires and cosy sofas – it basically sounds like everything we imagined the winter version of Love Island was going to be.

The series sees singletons ditching the dating apps and the normal dating world, and instead moving into a gorgeous log cabin in the British countryside. They’ll be spending 24-hours living together whilst getting to know each other in the intimate setting.

Nestled in the UK, each sumptuous cabin boasts a hot tub, games, romantic outdoor seating and fully equipped kitchens to rustle up date-worthy treats.  After 24-hours together the couples must decide if they are lovestruck or lovelorn.

And obviously we’ll be there to watch the whole thing unfold. It sounds a bit like an intense Dinner Date and Love Island combination, which is something I didn’t know we needed until now.

Announcing the show, Paul Mortimer, ITV’s Head of Digital Channels and Acquisitions said: “This is a fantastic new format which challenges young people to delete the apps and attempt to date face-to-face, with no distractions.

“We’re thrilled to be bringing this show to ITV2 viewers who will have front row seats, eavesdropping on our couples as they attempt to find true love.”
