Exclusive: Britain is getting its own spin on a Bachelor-style dating show after UKTV picked up an eight-part series based around ‘Lady’ Lara Asprey, who has provided dating advice to those close to the royal family.
UKTV’s female-skewing channel W has ordered The Ultimate Matchmaker, which follows some of Britain’s most eligible singles through the eyes of Asprey, often known as the Sloane Arranger, from Warner Bros-backed Ricochet, which produced Channel 5’s UK version of The Bachelor.
The show, which will air later this year, will follow the staff at Asprey’s eponymous dating agency and each episode will see singletons attend a series of three mini dates set in an amazing venue. They will then pick one of those dates to see again and viewers will follow the couple on an even glitzier date to see how they get on.
