a lifetime opportunity with four of the UK's biggest influencers.

Each episode will see a content creator have five blind dates to find their real connection.

Speaking about these new shows, Channel 4's Evie Buckley, said: 'I can't wait for our latest slate full of fresh new shows to drop on Channel 4.0 this summer.
"New formats, new talent and the same old chaos, I hope these series resonate."

Love Island star ordered to change image for fame after villa
Love Island alumni Liberty Poole has always been her own woman - from keeping it real in the villa to embracing those fabulous curves as she admits she was asked to do one strange thing post-villa She might not have found lasting love during her two stints on Love Island, but Liberty Poole is proof that staying true to yourself is perhaps the real win when it comes to participating in the dating show. The 25-year-old Brummie first found fame in 2021 when she coupled up with Jake Cornish on day one in the villa and quickly became one half of the show's golden couple – until she called time on the romance, days before the final. Last year, Liberty gave love another shot on Love Island: All Stars but, once again, chose self-respect over game-playing guys. Since then, as she exclusively tells OK!, she's turned her relationship woes into a platform for body positivity, inspiring her 1.3 million Instagram followers to embrace their imperfections. READ MORE: Michelle Keegan joins Padel trend with powerful racket that is 'ideal for female players' Hi Liberty! Looking back, how do you feel about your experiences in the villa? You know, no matter what, I always come out a stronger person. But yes, I feel like my journeys in the villa weren't the easiest. It's a time I'll always cherish, but there were also some negative things to deal with. Obviously, I had to rewatch my boyfriend on TV saying he wasn't attracted to me, then in the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge, I got pied three times. I was the girl who was never picked or fancied. I think it's important to remember that there's such a small group of people in there, it's not a reflection on you – it's just the nature of the show. We're in the middle of the current series – any changes you would have liked to have seen this season? Well, I feel like they've come a long way since earlier seasons with diversity, but I do think they could still do more with body diversity as well. There's always a certain body type that goes into the villa, so I think more could be done in that sense. Because I'm a bit of a curvier girl myself, I do a lot of body positivity now online. Before I went on Love Island, I used to heavily edit my photos and shrink my waist. Whereas, when you're in front of a camera, you can't hide. Did you feel like people in the All Stars villa knew how to play the game and weren't taking part to find love? Yeah, I definitely think some people did. I remember having a conversation with one particular person in the All Stars villa and I was honestly just trying to have a genuine conversation with them. They said to me, 'Oh no, you're not doing this conversation right, you're mentioning the fourth wall.' They said that we needed to 'redo' the conversation. It wasn't even one of the producers who said that – it was a cast member. I realised people were actually thinking like that. I just went in as me because I don't think anything else would have worked for me. Do you think it's still possible to begin a long-lasting relationship in the villa or is it now more of a platform to find fame? I would say it's evolved more into that now, yes, because I think people are very aware that you go on the show and you get a certain following and it does open up opportunities and doors for you. I would say it's maybe more evolved into that now than the first season, but I wouldn't paint everyone with the same brush and say everyone's in it for the fame. I still think people do go into the villa open to finding love. Were there any challenges you experienced, returning to normality after you left Love Island for the first time? The welfare team really supports you during your time on the show and after the show, when you return home. For me, the difficulty was coming out. Never compromise your happiness for fame and money. You do get a bit love-bombed by the show. Obviously, you're busy when you come out and it's this crazy whirlwind, but it calms down. From the start, I'd say do not compare yourself to anyone else because everyone else's journey in the industry is different. When I came out, I had times where I was told to wear designer bags more to elevate my image. That just wasn't me – no thanks. What advice would you give any prospective Islanders? Just be yourself. I've been there and I've seen people be themselves and it works out for them a lot better than the people who try to pretend or play up to the camera in some way. Also, the public are not stupid. So just be yourself and you'll get further down the line. Some people's experiences are that you go in and find love and end up in a long-lasting relationship, like Alex and Olivia [Bowen], Indiyah [Polack] and Dami [Hope] – they're all still in very happy relationships. You can be open to that aspect, but I wouldn't go in with that expectation.

Arrests made after 'iconic' statues stolen from sprawling country mansion
Thieves broke into Grade II star-listed Ilford Manor in an overnight raid last Friday, where four classic statues, some of which had stood in the grounds for more than a century, were taken Two men have been arrested following the theft of four statues from a country house garden last Friday (June 20), with police urging antiques dealers to be on the lookout for some historic stolen goods. The Grade I-listed Ilford Manor, near Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire, was targeted in an overnight raid. Four replica classic statues, some of which have been situated in the grounds for over a century, were stolen. Avon and Somerset officers revealed that a car with a police marker was pulled over in the Bristol area on Thursday evening. A 31-year-old and a 39-year-old were subsequently arrested. Both men, who reside outside of Wiltshire, have been released on conditional bail with orders not to enter the county. Ilford Manor, owned by William and Marianne Cartwright-Hignett, boasts gardens open to the public. The loss of their copy of the Capitoline She-Wolf has been particularly felt, reports Bristol Live. This bronze statue, which has "overlooked the valley for over 120 years", portrays a scene from the legend of the founding of Rome and was at the "heart" of the estate's peaceful setting. A pair of symmetrical fawns, replicas of the Villa Dei Papyri fawns, and a bust of Antinous were also tkaen. At the time of the theft, the estate - which has served as a filming location for the Secret Garden and ITV's Sanditon – was hosting a five-day jazz festival. In a statement published on their website, the estate said it was "still reeling from the theft". "This is a cultural loss for all of us," it added. "The gardens here have welcomed visitors since 1910 and now have 20,000 visitors from April to September who enjoy the tranquil and beautiful setting, of which the She-Wolf was the heart and in a setting made to showcase the statue. "We would love to see the statues returned to their rightful place for everyone to continue to enjoy for centuries to come." William Cartwright-Hignett, the managing partner of Iford Manor Estate, said at the time of the theft: 'We spent our whole lives and existences with our team trying to maintain, preserve and enhance this beautiful place for the benefit of all of our visitors and future visitors for the heritage. "It is devastating to see such iconic pieces which are very important to the design of the garden being stolen away in the night." According to Detective Inspector Penny Andrews: "We are continuing to appeal for anyone who knows anything about the stolen items or who saw anything suspicious leading up to the incident to come forward with information." She added that even the smallest detail could prove crucial: "No matter how insignificant you may think the information may be, it could be vital to assist our ongoing investigation." The police are also urging anyone working in antiques or auction houses to be vigilant for the stolen goods.

Channel 4 to air BBC-commissioned documentary Gaza: Doctors Under Attack
The BBC had originally commissioned Gaza: Doctors Under Attack more than a year ago from an independent production company called Basement Films but had delayed airing it until an ongoing review into a different programme on the region was completed. The one-off documentary, which includes witness accounts from frontline Palestinian health workers in Gaza and documents attacks on hospitals and clinics, will now air on Channel 4 on July 2 at 10pm. The film has been 'fact-checked and compiled by Channel 4 to ensure it meets Channel 4 editorial standards and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code', an announcement said. Louisa Compton, Channel 4's head of news and current affairs and specialist factual and sport, said in a statement: 'This is a meticulously reported and important film examining evidence which supports allegations of grave breaches of international law by Israeli forces that deserves to be widely seen and exemplifies Channel 4's commitment to brave and fearless journalism.' In an op-ed, Ms Compton further explained: 'We are showing this programme because we believe that, following thorough fact-checking and verification, we are presenting a duly impartial view of a subject that both divides opinion and frequently provokes dispute about what constitutes a fact. 'Channel 4 has a strong tradition of putting uncomfortable reporting in front of our audiences. In doing so, we know we will antagonise somebody somewhere sometime. But we do it because we believe it is our duty to tell important journalistic stories – especially those that aren't being told elsewhere.' She added: 'Doctors Under Attack was commissioned by another broadcaster, which took a different view of the original content and decided not to broadcast it. 'That other broadcaster will have had its own reasons for not showing the programme. 'For ourselves, after rigorous fact-checking and assessing the film against our own editorial criteria as well as against all regulatory requirements, we decided that it was both compliant with the Ofcom Broadcasting Code, but also that it was important journalism in the public interest. 'Any small changes were carried out with the producers to update the film and give viewers as much information as possible. 'The result is harrowing, no doubt. It will make people angry, whichever side they take, or if they take no side. 'But while we would never judge anyone who decides that showing something could create a risk of being thought to be taking sides, we believe there are times when the same risk is run by not showing anything at all.' Basement Films said: 'This is the third film we have made about the assault on Gaza since October 7th at Basement Films, and whilst none of them have been easy, this became by far the most difficult.' The production firm said it owed 'everything' to its Palestinian colleagues in Gaza and 'the doctors and medics who trusted us with their stories'. It added: 'We want to apologise to the contributors and team for the long delay, and thank Channel 4 for enabling it to be seen.' Gaza: Doctors Under Attack was greenlit for broadcast by Ms Compton, and was made by reporter Ramita Navai, executive producer Ben De Pear, who was previously editor of Channel 4 News, and director Karim Shah for Basement Films. Mr De Pear was also previously the executive producer on 2019's For Sama, which won a Bafta and was nominated for an Oscar. The BBC pulled the documentary How To Survive A Warzone in February after it emerged that its 13-year-old narrator was the son of a Hamas official. In a statement last week, the BBC said it had paused production of Gaza: Doctors Under Attack in April, having made a decision that they could not broadcast the film while a review into a separate Gaza documentary was ongoing. The BBC said that with both films coming from independent production companies, and both about Gaza, it was right to wait for any relevant findings – and put them into action – before broadcasting the film. In a statement, the corporation said: 'As we said at the time, we transferred ownership of the film material to Basement Films. Anything broadcast will not be a BBC film and has not undergone the BBC's final pre-broadcast sign-off processes. 'The BBC is committed to covering the conflict in Gaza and has produced powerful coverage. Alongside breaking news and ongoing analysis, we have produced award-winning documentaries such as Life and Death in Gaza, and Gaza 101. We have also investigated allegations of abuse of Palestinian prisoners and Israel's attacks on Gaza's hospitals. 'Last week we ran a powerful piece of in-depth journalism that captured the final two weeks inside a Gaza hospital before it was forced to close.'
