Stranded on Honeymoon Island: host and everything we know about the dating show
Outrageous new dating show Stranded on Honeymoon Island is coming to the UK.

Stranded on Honeymoon Island is a brand-new dating show that promises to be like nothing we have seen before and it's now been revealed Davina McCall is the host.
From the teams behind Married At First Sight UK and Love Is Blind UK, this is no ordinary relationship show as 12 unlucky-in-love singletons are matched into couples and then stranded on a deserted island. Think Survivor mixed with Married at First Sight!
With the show having already proven to be a huge success in Germany, Portugal, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic, Stranded on Honeymoon Island will see each relationship being fast-tracked as couples are isolated and pitted against the forces of nature. But will true love blossom and survive… or dive?
Davina says: "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."
Here is everything we know about Stranded on Honeymoon Island...
Stranded on Honeymoon Island release date
Stranded on Honeymoon Island is coming to BBC One and iPlayer in 2025. We don't have a confirmed release date yet for the 12-part series.
How does Stranded on Honeymoon Island work?
In this bold and original new adventure dating format, six couples are matched by experts and then immediately after committing themselves to each other in an intimate ceremony, will be dramatically abandoned in idyllic isolation for the adventure of a lifetime.
On these remote beaches, fledgling relationships are soon put to the test as the couples live together and fend for themselves with few resources. Marooned and alone, 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?
