The Cabins new arrival: Ryan

Ryan is a 30-year-old model from Winchester who is hoping to meet his Miss Right in the ITV show. "I love the concept of spending 24 hours with someone, not knowing who that person is and then getting surprised with someone that you either love or hate. I’ve done online dating before," he says.

"With the apps, you've already got to know someone, you've got to know them through the pictures, this eliminates all of that. This is diving into the mystery of the unknown."

Katrina is looking for love on the dating programme

"I'd like to have quite a relaxed time as I know there's a hot tub there. If relaxation isn't going to happen because I'm going to end up with a person who isn't very relaxed, who is very energetic, maybe quite young, then it's going to all be about making it as fun as possible, lots of games."
