THE HONESTY BOX: LAUNCH DATE FOR NEW E4 DATING SERIES WITH VICKY PATTISON

Vicky Pattison hosts new dating experiment The Honesty Box, a nine-part reality series from Mettlemouse Entertainment and GroupM Motion Entertainment which will test if honesty is the secret to finding true and everlasting love.

The series brings a cast of singles together in “Truetopia”, a sunny and romantic paradise where truth and honesty reign supreme. Ready to try a new approach, each single has signed up to this new radical dating experiment knowing they will be tested, in the hope it will lead to true love.

To encourage full transparency in their new relationships there is a prize fund of £100,000 up for grabs, but only if the daters choose to be open and completely honest about their true feelings.

Every day the daters will face The Honesty Box – a new AI-enhanced software – to be asked probing questions about their feelings. If The Honesty Box detects deception, it could impact their newly formed relationship… and the prize fund.

The singles will be guided through the experiment by host Vicky Pattison. Vicky will be joined by motivational speaker and Married at First Sight Australia alumnus Lucinda Light, who will be encouraging each of the daters to discover their inner truth.

Vicky Pattison said, "I'm so excited to be working with Channel 4 to host this brilliant new dating experiment. It really will put the 'true' in 'true love'. I can't wait for the daters to settle in to Truetopia and to share every twist and turn with them along the way. I hope beautiful, honest love stories will blossom."

Lucinda Light said, “Having undergone my own radical journey to find love, I deeply empathise with our brave cast of singles. I'm passionate about the importance of truth and authenticity in building strong relationships. My goal is to guide our divine daters in making meaningful connections by encouraging them to share openly and honestly with one another, especially as they face the Honesty Box in Truetopia.”

Channel 4’s Head of Reality and Entertainment, Steven Handley said, “We all love the drama of reality dating shows, but we can be left wondering if the couples really like each other or if they are just performing for the cameras. So, I’m thrilled to commission The Honesty Box (w/t), Mettlemouse’s innovative new take on a dating show that will test what our singles actually think of each other, and just how brutally honest we are all prepared to be to find everlasting love.”

Channel 4 Commissioning Editor, Genna Gibson, said, “Relationship experts say that honesty and trust are crucial to finding love, but could it be better to keep some of the awkward truths under wraps in those fragile early days? The Honesty Box will test just how truthful it pays to be at the start of a new relationship, and explore if total honesty makes for a longer-lasting bond.” 

The Honesty Box begins Monday 28th April on E4.
