An Irish brother and sister will be among those taking part in a new Netflix dating show that is set to rival Love Island.
'Dated and Related' is a 10 part series due to launch on the streaming service on September 2.
The dating show will see 16 singles flown to a villa in the south of France where they are going to get the chance to mingle. But in an unusual twist, the singletons won't be alone as they will be accompanied by their sibling.
Among the participants are Rachel and Andy Foster. The former Irish dancing champions have all the guys and girls falling at their feet, but unfortunately nobody has been quite up to par so far.
Quantity surveyor and keen surfer, Andy, has been in one serious relationship and admits he can often fall in love too easily, Belfast Live reports.
He's been focused on his career and partying with his pals until now, but now he's ready to find an all natural, surfer bombshell to settle down with.
Rachel, who works as a cafe manager, is described as a "pocket rocket and complete firecracker who has no qualms about living the free and single life." She's a well-travelled free spirit looking for someone to tame her partying ways, but she's extremely picky and won't fall for anyone less than a solid 10/10.
In a post shared on her Instgram, Rachel said: "Before you ask we don’t date each other. Hard to believe me and Andy jetted off to France this time last year to film with Netflix.
"It’s been hard to keep this one quiet but we can finally announce that we will be on your TV screens next week."
Dated and Related will be hosted by Too Hot To Handle's Melinda Berry, with each episode lasting 45 minutes. It has been described by some as Netflix's rival to Love Island.
Describing the concept of the show in more detail, Netflix said: "Imagine you’re on a first date. The ambience is just right, and you’re on your second glass of bubbles. Your date leans in to whisper something cute in your ear. Just as sparks begin to fly, you notice something in your periphery: It’s your brother, sitting in the corner, watching you.
"No, this is not a scene from a fever dream you had once — it’s Dated & Related, a brand-new dating series in which pairs of siblings (and one enthusiastic set of cousins) see each other’s love lives up close and personal as they search for their soulmates.
"In many ways, Dated & Related isn’t unlike your favorite chaotic dating shows: A group of sexy singles show up to a villa in the south of France, looking to pair up with other sexy singles. The key difference, of course, is that this time people arrive in pairs and just so happen to be related."
