Being based in sunny Franschhoek in South Africa, known for its wineyards and relaxing pastoral scenery, this series looks sure to provide an escape from the January gloom almost 10,000 miles away.
The ten single twenty-somethings will be jetting off to the villa for a chance to find 'the one' and get their hands on the £50,000 jackpot.
