An exciting line-up of comedic pairings has been announced; Joel Dommett and Emily Atack, Josh Widdecombe and Rosie Jones, Asim Chaudhry and Sukh Ojla, Tom Allen and Suzi Ruffell, Chunkz and Yung Filly, London Hughes and Verona Rose, Josh Jones and Jayde Adams and The Receipts, all taking part this series. With our unsuspecting singletons heading out on blind dates ranging from line dancing and gin tasting to a wrestling masterclass, there will be plenty for the comedians to sit back and share their laugh out loud commentary on as dating is put under the microscope once again.

Produced by Monkey, which is part of Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group, the 6x30’ series is set to return to screens in February 2022, but the fun starts early with an hour-long Christmas special this December.

The festive special, which includes a romantic trip to a reindeer park, will air on Sky Max and streaming service NOW this December.

Joel Dommett said: “I did Dating No Filter last series and I think almost everyone who did it last time wanted to do it again because it was super fun to do. You’re basically just sat with a friend watching funny dates. It’s so funny seeing what people do in that moment of awkwardness, because we’ve all experienced that moment. If anyone pointed me out on my first date with my wife, they would all be laughing and talking about how awkward it was.”

Emily Atack said: “I think dating is just a subject everyone can relate to, it’s a nice subject that you can sit with mates and scream at the telly about. It’s quite endearing! It has been so much fun with Joel as my partner too. Although, I do question how he is married, especially when he talks about some of his early dating past…’
