Davina McCall has been named as the presenter of a major new dating show for BBC One, Stranded On Honeymoon Island.

The format - from the team behind Married At First Sight UK - sees 12 singles paired up into six couples, before they marry and head straight to their honeymoon on a tropical island with few resources.

McCall, who will "guide the singles through their journey", is a veteran of the TV dating genre, having previously hosted StreetMate, Singled Out and My Mum, Your Dad.

"I am a serial matchmaker, so I jumped at the chance to host the BBC's new dating show," she said. "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."

Executive producer Murray Boland added: "We're thrilled to be working with Davina on this project. Stranded on Honeymoon Island is a fascinating relationship experiment and there's no one better than Davina to lead viewers on this dramatic journey as the couples navigate new love in their time together on the island."

The 12-part series will air on BBC One later this year.
