What is Ready To Mingle about?

The new ITV2 dating show will follow a single woman in her search for her perfect man and 12 men will then compete to win her affections. However, there's a twist. Some of the singletons are already in a relationship and will be lying through their teeth about their single status in the hopes of winning a cash prize.

They'll be staying in a luxury clifftop location as they go through a series of tests, tasks and games to vie for for her affections as each contestant is eliminated one-by-one. But that's not all. The men who are in relationships will be secretly helped along in the competition by their real-life partners, who it looks like will be in for a lot of uneasy viewing as their men outright cheat on them in order not to blow their cover.
