ITV2 commissions new cookery-based dating show

ITV2 announces new dating series Love Bites, which will see singletons compete to go on a date by cooking a three-course meal.

ITV2 has announced a new dating format, Love Bites, that will see contestants cooking meals in order to impress potential suitors.

The show features three singletons going up against each other in the kitchen, each cooking a three-course meal from the same box of ingredients in order to win the date.

"Love Bites has arrived!" said Paul Mortimer, ITV's head of digital channels. "An exciting fusion of food and flirtation that is sure to delight our ITV2 audience this autumn."

The broadcaster has ordered 30 episodes of the hour-long format, suggesting that it will be stripped over six weeks in an early peak timeslot later this year.

The show is the second dating format to be commissioned by ITV2 in the absence of Love Island until next summer, with a new series called The Cabins already announced for early next year.
