Love In The Flesh release date
Love In The Flesh premieres on BBC Three on Wednesday, March 23 and Thursday, March 24 at 10 pm on BBC Three. The first two episodes will also be available to stream on BBC iPlayer on the Wednesday night.
The series is eight episodes long, and two episodes will air each week.
What is the premise of Love In The Flesh?
As we've mentioned, the twist for the five Love In The Flesh couples is that they've only been chatting online through DMs and apps but have never met up in real life. One of the couples has been talking for as long as five years!
Love In The Flesh will see these couples escaping the pressures of daily life so they can put their relationships to the test for a week in a Greek beach house. There, they'll decide whether they want to take their relationships back to the real world. As with all relationships, some of them will work out, but some won't.
If the couples do decide to split up, there will be opportunities to form new relationships in the beach house. Throughout the series, the couples will be learning from one another and exploring their relationships by taking part in the challenges along the way.
Throughout the series, the show will also be unpicking wider themes relating to dating, such as the benefits and pitfalls of making connections online and in person.
Who's hosting Love In The Flesh?
Former Love Island contestant Zara McDermott is on hand as the presenter for Love In The Flesh. She'll be acting as a guide and a confidante to the ten contestants as they explore their relationships in the flesh.

Jess and Kwame
Jess is a 24-year-old carer from Hertfordshire. She's been talking to Kwame, a 28-year-old entrepreneur from London for five years now, but she's worried Kwame might be a catfish because Kwame wouldn't agree to appear on-screen whenever they Facetimed.

Chibz, a 23-year-old personal trainer from London, fell head over heels in love with Shazelle, a 21-year-old receptionist from London when he connected with her on Instagram two years ago.
