STRANDED ON HONEYMOON ISLAND: DAVINA McCALL CONFIRMED TO HOST NEW BBC ONE DATING SERIES

Coming to BBC One and iPlayer in 2025, Stranded on Honeymoon Island is a bold and original new reality dating format, which sees twelve unlucky-in-love singles matched into couples, who then marry and immediately start their honeymoon on a tropical island.

Davina McCall will guide the singles through their journey as their marriages are put to the test. Davina will meet the singles at their first speed dating event in London, before they are matched into six couples and then stranded on a tropical island for the experience of a lifetime.

Isolated and pitted against the forces of nature, will true love blossom and survive…or dive? On these remote beaches, fledgling relationships are soon put to the test as the couples live out their honeymoon together and fend for themselves with few resources.

Together they must communicate and collaborate to get by, with nowhere to run when the going gets tough. Will an escape from modern life bring them closer together or push them apart? Will it lead to love or loathing?

Davina said "I am a serial matchmaker…. So I jumped at the chance to host the BBC's new dating show. I can't wait to meet our couples and find out how they get on when they're Stranded on Honeymoon Island. For some it will be challenging and others, idyllic!!! Hopefully it's the start of some very beautiful relationships."

CPL's Murray Boland said ‘we’re thrilled to be working with Davina on this project. Stranded on Honeymoon Island is a fascinating relationship experiment and there’s no one better than Davina to lead viewers on this dramatic journey as the couples navigate new love in their time together on the island.”

Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC said “Davina is the ideal addition to this bold and innovative dating reality show. On Stranded on Honeymoon Island, Davina will be the perfect guide for viewers as the couples embark on the love story of a lifetime where the newlyweds are put to the ultimate test. We’re delighted to be working with her alongside the brilliant team at CPL. It’s a match made in heaven!”
