EXPLOSIVE dating show Love Triangle is returning very soon – and this time features a controversial Big Brother star and viral video sensation.
The E4 show, which first aired back in April last year, is now returning for 10 hour-long episodes and will serve up a raft of fresh twists, turns and surprises, as six new singles embark on one of TV’s most unpredictable romantic roller coasters.

The cast for the new series has just dropped and it features influencer Ryan Ruckledge, who first emerged to fame on Big Brother and The X Factor.
The 32-year-old tanning business owner found love with fellow housemate Hughie Maughan in the 2016 series of Big Brother.
The pair went on to get engaged and moved in together in Ryan’s hometown Blackpool, before calling off their four-year romance in 2020 amid the pandemic.
Discussing what he asked for in a match on the new show, Ryan said: “I’ll be completely honest, I asked for a Scouser, a builder, tanned, turkey teeth and a cheeky personality.
“Whether I got that or not, you’ll have to find out. I am very particular. I just wanted a fit Scouser. Someone who can rag me around the bedroom.”
Before joining the Big Brother cast, the reality veteran was already known for being rude to Simon Cowell and the judges on The X Factor and boasting about taking tanning tablets on This Morning.
The second cast member is Danny Andrews, who is most known for being the fish and rice cake guy from 18 years ago.
Danny, now 35, first appeared on the BBC Three documentary Baby Faced Bodybuilders back in 2006 when he was a young 17-year-old.
He instantly became a meme after he revealed his methods for staying in tip-top shape, including an extreme diet of fish and rice cakes.
When asked about his diet, Danny replied: ‘Eight o’clock in the morning, I’ll have fish and a rice cake. At 10 o’clock, I’ll have fish. At 12 o’clock, I’ll have fish and a rice cake…’
Danny, who is now a barbershop owner, looks unrecognisable these days.
When asked why he’s joining the show, he said: “I’m looking to start a family, so someone whowants to settle down. Someone who is kind, caring and funny. Someone I can spend the rest of my life with. And someone who can laugh at my joke.”
Giving us a hint about what’s to come, the 35-year-old said: “Wow, this series of Love Triangle is simply wow. Explosive. Full of drama. Full of amazing romance. That’s all I’m going to say.”
The programme sees six singletons (the pickers) who text two potential lovers and then have to pick one for a blind date.
Things move fast on the show as they move in together, however they have no idea the other person they were texting moves in later on.
At the end of the series the picker has to choose who they want to be with out of the love triangle.
The show first launched in Australia and was developed by the people behind Married At First Sight, so it has all the right ingredients for success.
Other Love Triangle cast members
The show will see 29-year-old Yolanda feature on the show.
Yolanda, who is a Mel B impersonator, said: “I signed up because my dating life is dire. I am married to my career. I Inever have time to date so I thought I’ll put it in someone else’s hands and hopefully I’ll find what I’ve been looking for!”
Sharing what she doesn’t like in a man, Yolanda said: “Arrogance and over-obnoxious energy. If you’re going to be rude and take me on a roller coaster I don’t want to ride, then it’s not for me.”
Chlo, 27, from Rhondda Valley, Wales, is a Marketing Manager, and said her biggest ick is “if we were to go to a restaurant, to be rude to wait staff. It’s so off-putting, and I haven’t got time for people like that.”
Sharing her type, she said: “It’s a simple want list. Tattoos, dad bod, worktrousers. They are my preferences. It is something I keep going for and gravitating towards back home.
“For my perfect match, there would be more to it; someone ambitious, someone who appreciates their own space and time and someone who is a nice person with a nice personality–someone who I would want to be around.”
Asa, 29, from Chatham, is a Care Recruiter who is after someone who is “calm” and “compassionate”.
He adds: “ Someone who shared all the same values. Someone who wanted to settle down. Someone active and keeps themselves busy and likes the outdoors
Shannon, 29, from Dundee, is a Charity Ambassador and cancer survivor.
She said: “After everything I’ve been through in my life, I’ve had a lot of loss and gone through the biggest battle which was stage four cancer. So, I wanted to find someone to start my new chapter with, to find love and settle down with
“I was looking for someone compassionate, caring and funny. Good teeth were the priority! A gentleman–someone with a kind heart and soul”
