ROMEO & DUET: 'ITV COMMISSION NEW KARAOKE DATING SERIES'

ITV have reportedly commissioned a brand new dating series - with a difference.

With the working title 'Romeo and Duet', the series will reportedly see singletons sing their hearts out in order to win the chance to go on a karaoke date with a fellow singer. After, they will reveal whether their duet hit the right notes.

A source told The Sun: "The show marries The X Factor and First Dates in one glorious union, which is really smart as talent shows and dating shows are both big business...

"The final verdict pieces to camera will be hilarious, just like on First Dates. And just like at any karaoke night, there’ll be some amazing singers and some who should probably have stuck to singing into their hairbrush. There will be a celebrity host — someone like Emily Atack would be fantastic."

The series is currently in production and now casting.

ITV have provided no comment.
