A panel show offering "a series of fun and cheeky challenges", on a loose theme of dating and relationships. Two panels of three play off, each panel is headed by a woman much younger than the host.

It's going out at 10pm Thursday night. Any more comparisons with Celebrity Juice?

Regular features included:

  • "Dealbreakers", where the panel tried to guess whether the audience said something was fatal to a potential relationship.
  • "You complete me", a missing words round.
  • "Bonkbusters", form a chain of people who have dated each other.
  • "Love at First Swipe" challenges the captains to understand someone who has picked from a selection of possible dates.

Additional rounds were invented for each edition, based on the reputation of some of the guests.

Very little that's groundbreaking here, It's Not Me, It's You has a similar feel to Celebrity Juice.

The show is saved by sparkling chemistry between host and panel. Eamonn Holmes wasted no opportunity to take the rise out of himself. Captains Kelly Brook and Vicky Patterson kept the conversation light and frothy, and knew when to let the guests shine.

Eamonn Holmes takes the show with due reverence.

Trivia

Originally commissioned for an hour, the series ran to 45 minutes.

The first series was hammocked between episodes of Big Brother and its chat-show spin-off Bit on the Side. It came off air after four weeks, allowing for additional Big Brother coverage.
