First look as posh barrister is matched with gas fitter in new 'class divide' dating show

Can love stretch across the class divide? That's what a new dating show is planning to find out as a barrister is matched with a gas fitter and a special needs teacher with a posh 'mummy's boy'.

Queue awkward misunderstandings, snobbery and cringe galore.

In a first look at the trailer, posh boy Sam's mum isn't too keen on special needs teacher Amy's accent.

"It's a shame she speaks like she does," she says despairingly while talking to her son in an ornate living room.

Sam doesn't look too sure either and it cuts to him having a picnic in the park with blonde bombshell Amy.

However her passion for boozing and kebabs already threatens their potential romance as she asks him in shock: "You've never had a doner wrap?!"

"What's that?" he asks her in confusion.

Meanwhile gas fitter Jack is paired up with trainee barrister Holly, who he asks during a date whether she went to private or state school.

"Private... obviously!" she chortles as he tries to laugh along awkwardly too.

He later asks her: "Do you think we'd ever speak to each other?"

"No," she replies while cradling her drink.

Later, she introduces him her favourite hobby - horseriding. But will he bolt at the fence?
