RYLAN Clark is back with his controversial dating show which sees a bunch of sexy singletons strip off to find love.

The second series of the Paramount+ series kicks off on Friday with ten brave hopefuls ready to bare all in the pursuit of love.
The series was filmed in Central America last year, but this time around bosses moved filming to a multi-million mansion in Panama.
And bosses have promised plenty of twists and turns to keep fans hooked.
Here we meet the latest batch of singles hoping to love in the sun as they lift the lid on all the sex, rows and romance fans can look forward to.

Jordan, 30, has promised fans can expect a bonk-a-thon this series as everyone on the show got down and dirty.
He says stripping off heightened the sexual tension in the house and people didn’t waste any time getting to grips with each other.
He teased: “There were a couple of girls in there who I found amazingly attractive. It does heighten the sexual chemistry.
“You’re in a stunning house, all the vibes are good. You’re playing drinking games and stuff like that.
“So there’s a lot of flirting going on and you’re trying to work out which people like who and if anyone likes you.
“It’s a very, very sexy house! I did have sex. I think nearly everyone did because getting into bed in the night, I think people were definitely getting a bit steamy.”
Kier

The 25-year-old betting shop worker describes herself as “independent, confident, and outgoing” but says her track record when it comes to men is so bad she was hoping being naked in the sunshine would change her fortunes.
And while she says she found a connection in the house, sparks were flying in every direction, sparking several big bust ups.
She said: “There was just a certain person in particular who was getting on my nerves, so I did end up having to say what I think.
“I didn’t keep my cool. I said what I thought, to be honest. But I didn’t drag it out.
“I think a lot of tension came from the fact there were quite a few love triangles going on. Not that I was involved in one, but there were a few which made things awkward!
“I watched the first series and thought it was really good, but us lot this time, we’re a bunch of reprobates!
“We’re all mad! There are some major personalities on the show this year.”
Jarrakeh

The 28-year-old artist from London says spending four years in the Royal Navy wrecked his love life because the “sea was my wife”.
He joined the show because he thought stripping naked would give him a better chance of finding a deeper connection.
And Jarrakeh quickly catches the eye of one lucky lady and sparks fly.
But he admits it wasn’t all plain sailing: “It was chaos for me! I like to think of it as we were at sea, you know, and I was just trying to find the calm amid the chaos.
“I tried to keep out of the rows as much as I could. But you know what? Trouble just follows me.
“I clashed with a few people, there’s two that I thought were friends but they turned on me at one of the dumping.
“When someone’s trying to be their best friend, you better be careful, they might stab you in the back!”
Kelsey
11
Essex born Kelsey, 26, is a car dealer who says she’s only had two proper relationships in her life but both ended in disaster.
She reckons stripping off would make it easier to find a bond because men “just want to know what’s beneath the clothes”, so with that out of the way they have to bring the chat.
And being naked 24/7 meant it was hard for the fellas to hide when they were turned on.
Kelsey said: “To be honest, we all just laughed it off.
“We knew it was going to happen. I remember one time there was a couple sat on the day bed and he grabbed a towel and ran across the garden.
“You just know what’s happened! You kind of deal with it, really. It’s a natural thing as well, you know?
“So no one was immature enough to make someone feel uncomfortable about it.”
Luke
11
Essex salesman Luke, 32, is no stranger to taking a risk on TV in the hope of finding love as he’s already starred in Married At First Sight UK.
Despite marrying a total stranger, he failed to find romance, so he’s back for a second shot at love and wasn’t afraid to strip off.
And he admits having a taste of stardom on the E4 dating show really impacted his dating life.
He said: “You do get more people in your DMs, you do get more people approaching you on nights out, it’s a confidence booster!
“You get a lot of attention, especially from women, but it’s then in the back of your mind, what is their agenda? Why weren’t they approaching me before? That’s the question.
“So you have to be kind of wary. It’s just a trust thing from me. I don’t know how much I can trust what this person’s telling me.
“I get all sorts like explicit pictures randomly sent to me. People asking me out on dates. If I put a story up, they ask me where I am, they want to meet up with me.
“I’ve been getting all this on a daily basis. But I don’t like someone who is too full on.
“When someone approaches me first, it kind of puts me off instantly.
“If someone sends me sex pictures it does put me off because I think how many other people have they done that to? Do you know what I mean?”
Nina

Pocket rocket Nina is a fun loving waitress who is always ready to bring a “vibe” to any situation.
Her family is from Laos, but she grew up in Chichester in West Sussex before moving to Australia 8 years ago.
Although Nina, 29, loves to party, she also loves to balance out her wild ways with wellness retreats, yoga and cold-water swimming.
Nina’s warned fans to expect plenty of drama when Rylan shows up and takes them all to the dumping ground where one singleton gets dumped for good.
She said: “You have no idea who’s getting kicked out. If you think a boy is getting kicked out that night, it ends up being a girl.
“Or if you think one person’s going, it might be five.
“So it was really intense because we had to stand there in silence to build up the intensity to get you in your mind and be present.
“It’s so emotional. A few times I was in shock, I cried!”
Matt
11
Videographer Matt, from Essex, says he’s sick of women judging him on his looks and gave up sex for a year before he joined the show.
The 32-year-old reckons he’s more than just a pretty face and wants to find a woman who can see past his chiseled chin and six pack.
Matt is a natural-born charmer with the gift of the gab and fans will see that it didn’t take him long to break his year long celibacy in the house.
He said: “I do like to flirt and I like to see if they can reciprocate that and flirt back. And I’ve got a high sex drive.
“So they have to have a high sex drive as well.
“But mentally, I have to be stimulated. You get to a stage in your life where you need that emotional connection, you need more than just sex, even though that’s really important.
“Before I was on the show, I was celibate for one year, so I didn’t sleep with anyone since my ex.
“I did sleep with someone on the show and to give that temple to someone was a special moment!”
Amara
11
Toronto born Amara swapped Canada for Madrid and has been single for seven years, describing her dating life as a”laughable”.
The HR manager reckons all guys “sell you the dream” just to try and see you naked, so she thought why not just strip off and get it out of the way.
But the 28-year-old might struggle seeing as she has a long list of things that give her the ick.
She admitted: “I am looking for someone who does not mess up my peace of mind!
“I just want someone honest, someone kind, someone who makes me enjoy my life more than I already enjoy it because I treat myself like a f**king queen.
“So if you can’t add value, then I don’t want to waste my time.
“But you don’t even want to see my ick list. I have one on my phone, it’s huge. So things like if he smokes cigarettes. Ick.
“If he has too many girl best friends. Ick. You know why? Of course they’ve all hooked up with each other. Pilots. Ick. They’ve got girls in different areas.
“I’ve been single for two years, my list is long, you got to scroll for 10 minutes in my notes section to get to the end!”
Connor
11
The trivia host, 27, from Melbourne, Australia, says he’s never had a proper relationship because his 20s are for “creating stories” to dish in the pub but now he’s creeping closer to 30, he reckons he’s ready to settle down and find his true love.
He’s no stranger to stripping off thanks to starring in a yearly Magic Mike style show to raise money for his local football team.
And while he’s happy to flash the flesh, he couldn’t help comparing himself to the other fellas in the mansion.
He said: “You do compare yourself in the downstairs department! I’m an Asian man, so I didn’t go in with the highest of expectations to be setting any world record by any stretch of the imagination!
“But I think if anything, being a shorter Asian man, I think it’s nice to under promise and over deliver rather than have the big rig and everyone’s expecting you to be carrying an absolute weapon and you’ve got bugger all to show for it!
“So, honestly, compare and despair is what happens!”
Mani

Waitress Mani is a self-confessed brat and proud “Jamaican princess” who loves nothing more than posting sexy pictures on social media.
She’s unapologetically confident and lives life on her own terms, never afraid to show the world exactly who she is.
The 22-year-old wasn’t afraid to stir the pot inside the mansion and warns fans to expect plenty of fireworks.
She said: “Oh, just know the fans are gonna get the drama.
“They’re gonna get the laughter. They’re gonna get the best friendships. They better buckle up. That’s all I gotta say!
“The biggest row came early on. One of the guys basically revealed his game plan too soon and one of the girls kicked off.
“There was so much yelling in the house. I’m like, ‘hold on. Let me catch my breath first!’”
