ITV2 launches a dating show with a twist on Monday night as 12 single boys vie for the affections of one gorgeous girl in Ready To Mingle.
The twist? Not all of the boys are single - they're just pretending to be single to woo the girl and walk away with a £50,000 cash prize at her expense! To add extra spice, the non-single boys have brought along their girlfriends, who will be watching their every move from a secret location nearby.
Scroll on to meet the eligible - and not so eligible - boys!
John Okafor
Age: 22
From: London via Leeds
Occupation: Semi-pro rugby player
Celebrity crush: Maya Jama
Quote: "I'm 6ft 6in tall. When people see me, they probably think I'm unapproachable, but when you get to know me, I'm a massive softie. I have a bit of a mean streak, but I have a huge soft side."
Casey Sonnekus
Age: 22
From: Bridgend via South Africa
Occupation: Railway worker
Celebrity crush: Margot Robbie
Quote: "[I'm] very confident, easy-going and funny. I get the party started, too. I can do a shot of tequila straight faced."
Louie Akinwale
Age: 27
From: Essex
Occupation: Model and handbag designer
Celebrity crush: Kourtney Kardashian
Quote: "I like good company. I'm not fussy at all. As long as it's creating memories and having fun. It could even be a cross country trip or a little cottage in the wilderness."
Hakeem Amao
Age: 32
From: London
Occupation: Personal trainer
Quote: "I don't take things too seriously. I'm a good listener - you can talk to me about anything and I won't judge. I'm willing to see your side of things. I'm always up for a laugh and I'm incredibly loyal. I've got friends from primary school that I'd do anything for."
Malcolm Modele
Age: 33
From: London via Gloucester
Occupation: Actor
Celebrity crush: Scarlett Johansson
Quote: "I would never do something to someone that I wouldn't want doing to myself. If you have the urge you want to cheat, you shouldn't be with the person you're with. I'm honest, loyal, hardworking, supportive, all the good things. I'm a good cook - I make a good lasagne or steak and dauphinoise potatoes and I make a phenomenal cheesecake - I cooked and baked for the whole house. I'm all the things a woman looks for."
Rudi Senghore
Age: 27
From: St Albans via Essex
Occupation: Carpenter
Celebrity crush: Michelle Keegan
Quote: "I rate myself really highly. I'm generous, selfless, most of the time and very supportive. I've got loads of love to give and I'm just an all-round good guy."
Chris Baber
Age: 27
From: Newquay
Occupation: Electrical engineer
Celebrity crush: Margot Robbie
Quote: "I don't really enjoy sleeping around. I always wear my heart on my sleeve and I'm so honest, but sometimes I can be too honest. As I've got older, I've learnt to hold things back a bit. I don't do needy now. If I say, 'Do you want to go out?' and they don't get back, I'll just chill with the boys."
Louis Hart
Age: 24
From: Devon via Essex
Occupation: Property developer
Quote: "The money prize was very appealing. People can say they're in it for the love and not the money, but I think we're all in it for the money otherwise we'd just be looking for love outside of the house."
Toby Bougouneau
Age: 24
From: Manchester via Exeter
Occupation: Model
Quote: "I wouldn't ever chase someone. If they're not giving anything back, I'm not interested. I've never done online dating; I've always just chatted to girls in clubs."
Elliott Miles
Age: 28
From: Hertfordshire
Occupation: Electrician
Celebrity crush: Rita Ora
Quote: "I'm the life and soul of the party. I'm not afraid of talking to new people. My dancing is rubbish, unless I've had a few drinks."
Drew Wedlake
Age: 26
From: Bristol
Occupation: Professional boxer
Celebrity crush: Mila Kunis
Quote: "On nights out, I'm used to girls making the first move, but I think it should always be the guy's thing. I do need a bit of the chase because if it's too easy, I feel I lose interest very quickly."
Lewis Croker
Age: 24
From: Somerset
Occupation: Firefighter
Celebrity crush: Margot Robbie
Quote: "My parents would probably say I'm a hardworking individual - if I want something, I'll go out and get it. I'm always making jokes about things, I'm just a fun guy."
Ready To Mingle starts Monday night at 9pm on ITV2.
