But in a mischievous twist, not all the boys are single, with a number of them being guided by their partners in pursuit of the prize. Taking up residence in a luxurious house, the single girl will get to know all the boys through activities, games and dates, eliminating each boy one-by-one until her dream man' remains.

Which boy will be left standing? Can she suss out who is the real deal? They may not all be single, but they're all Ready to Mingle.

Katherine Ryan said: I am so excited to be a part of this new dating game show. How could I say no? It's like nothing we've seen before but still with all the drama and dating dilemmas we love to see, and I'll be there front row as it all unfolds!

Katherines unique sense of humour coupled with all the drama of this new dating show ought to make for a binge-ably entertaining watch.

Michael Kelpie, Managing Director at Potato said: Youre single. Youre on a date. Youre having a great time. Your date is ticking all your boxes. This could be the one, but... is he single? Ready to Mingle is a cheeky, playful dating game show and with a big money prize up for grabs, anything can happen. Katherine's undeniable comedic charm and quick-wit make her the perfect host for this new format and we're thrilled she is involved.
