Ready to Mingle – full lineup of contestants
READY to Mingle is ITV’s brand new dating show for fans already mourning the loss of Love Island from their screens.
Comedian Katherine Ryan hosts the dramatic new reality show that will see 12 men fighting for the attention of one single woman. The catch? Not all of her suitors are single.
Who is in the Ready to Mingle lineup?
This explosive new series will take place in a posh Devon apartment, where each guy will attempt to woo the stunning 24-year-old at the centre of it all.
The men will not only be competing for her attention, however, as they also stand to win a £50,000 cash prize.
The format might sound somewhat familiar to fans of The Bachelorette, which also features several guys competing for the attention of one girl – only this time their girlfriends are in on the game and coaching them to win the money.
But who are ITV’s hottest new dating show contestants? Here’s what we’ve learned from their Instagram profiles.

She said: "I've always gone for a fit guy, someone who takes a lot of pride in his physical appearance and goes to the gym a lot – I really, really like muscles. Looks-wise, Tom Hardy is my vibe. I like a bit of facial hair and tattoos."
She also values height and a good sense of humour in her man: "Personality wise, the comedian Kevin Hart is my type. I need someone who's going to make me laugh. I'm 5ft 8, so I like someone to be 5ft 11 or above. But I don't like them too tall."
