LOVE stories are magical in films like Sleepless In Seattle — even if the actors’ real-life romances barely last nine and a half weeks.
Now Channel 4 hope the charm of the silver screen will help lovelorn singles in a new dating show.
They will be plunged into a famous movie love scene to see if sparks fly when the cameras roll, on the show which comes from the team behind Netflix’s steamy hit Too Hot To Handle.
It will take inspiration from When Harry Met Sally and daters will also take on Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore’s famous pottery scene from Ghost.
One leading man or woman will act alongside three potential suitors before choosing one to take on a date off-screen.
The series, which has a working title of Let’s Make A Scene, is due to hit screens next year.
Channel 4 loves playing Cupid at the moment with Joel Dommett‘s new show The Love Trap making its debut last night.
A host of women compete for a man’s affections, but half of them are faking it. Every time you think the well of dating shows has run dry, a new bonkers idea comes along.
