“This year's cast have almost one million followers between them and some are already classed as celebrities in certain circles. Producers are hoping this will equate to record-breaking ratings and attract more younger viewers than ever before," they revealed.
“Every year there's pressure to be bigger than the season prior and having a cast full of people already comfortable on camera, who know how to perform, also makes it easier for drama to unfold.”
Of course, fans of the show, or anyone who happens to frequent news sites whilst this show is airing, will be familiar with the drama viewers have now come to associate with the show.
Despite its best intentions to successfully pair up single cast members with their perfect romantic match, this is not always the case.
The show has certainly delivered some incredible success stories, such as Jules Robinson and Cam Merchant, but unfortunately, many couples find the match isn’t strong enough to survive beyond the cameras.
Or if they even last that long.
Nine is yet to announce the exact date that fans of the show (whether openly or not) can enjoy the show’s irresistible drama in the exciting new season, but take comfort in knowing that in a short while you won’t be able to avoid it.
