First look at Emily Atack’s new TV show ‘Singletown’ as five couples head to London to break up for the summer

The first trailer for Emily Atack’s new tv dating show ‘Singletown’ has finally dropped and the show already promised to be full of the drama and romance we have come to expect from reality TV.

The show is set in London and will see five couples head to the capital - to break up.

The first look trailer gives us a glimpse at the soon-to-be split couples hitting our screens in September, and introduces us to hosts Emily Atack, 29, and Joel Dommett, 33.

It’ll be Emily’s first big TV job since I’m A Celeb and promises to be a corker.

Bosses at ITV2 are hoping this modern take on dating will fill the Love Island void as viewers begin craving that romantic drama once again.

In the trailer, Emily is seen looking ecstatic when one of the girls she is mentoring says she has landed herself a date, and Joel is heard saying: “I’m so excited”.

The 15 hour-long episodes have been described as the ‘ultimate city break’ and will see the five couples putting the brakes on their romances for very different reasons.

From high school sweethearts who want to date other people to new relationships already on the rocks, the couples will be guided through dating in London by Emily and Joel who will act as their mentors.

The cameras will catch the singletons’ summer in the city, as they live their best single life while dating handpicked suitors.

As the summer comes to a close, the singletons will be forced to decide if they want to go back to their partners, or continue flying solo.

Emily, who came second on last year’s I’m A Celeb, was revealed as the host of the new dating show back in July.

Alongside the caption, she shared a promotional snap of her and her co-host Joel, adding: “The worst kept secret since sliced bread. I cannot wait for you all to see it. @singletownofficial".
