Take Me Out
Single guys and girls! Want to be on TV? Fancy a hot date?
Take Me Out, ITV1’s new dating show could help you find the guy or girl of your dreams. Prepare to be turned on….and taken out!
Comedian Paddy McGuinness will play matchmaker and guide single ladies and a whole host of potential single men in pursuit of their perfect partner.
The aim of the show is to match a single man with one of 30 women from across the UK. The man enters the studio and announces just his name, age and where he is from. Each of the girls has a light in front of them, and if they decide the guy is not for them, they switch it off. The women continue to rule themselves in or out as the suitor reveals more about himself, before he eventually chooses one to go on a date.
Many of the girls will stay on the series until they find the man of their dreams! All of the guys will be spoilt for choice as they finally narrow it down to one lucky girl!
Do you, or someone you know, want to be on TV and need a little help to find love and romance?
