ITV producers are working on a new dating show called ‘Big Date Night’.
The channel behind ‘Take Me Out’ and ‘Blind Date’ tested out the new family-friendly format on a live audience at the ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ auditions in Manchester recently, and it reportedly went down a treat.
The show will rely on the audience to bring the "fun and chaos" and it’s tipped to be a "great interactive show for all ages".
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: "They filmed a pilot because bigwigs at ITV wanted to test-run the idea.
"It was a great success, with a brilliant audience reaction.
"They are thinking it could be a great interactive show for all ages — just on the right side of smutty so kids can watch, but still a little cheeky for adults.
"The idea is that the audience are the stars of the show, so lots of interaction, fun and chaos."
During the practice run, Stuart Holdham, who works on ‘BGT’, hosted, but it’s believed they are hoping to get Alan Carr or another British funnyman to be the permanent host.
The show would see singletons in the audience chosen by their friends to go up on stage, get asked their sexual preference and then everyone in the room stands up and answers a series of questions from the nominated person.
If they get the answer wrong, they are then asked to sit down.
A number of people will then go up against each other to land a date.
