THE HONESTY BOX: DATING SHOW HOSTED BY VICKY PATTISON AXED BY CHANNEL 4 AFTER ONE SERIES

Channel 4 have confirmed that dating format The Honesty Box will not be returning for a second series following its debut on E4 earlier this year.

A Channel 4 spokesperson told The Sun: "Honesty Box was a brilliant format from a great team but there were many great new reality hits this year. We have had tough decisions on what is returning. Virgin Island really landed with our audience and will return next year."

The series saw a cast of singles together in “Truetopia”, a sunny and romantic paradise where truth and honesty reign supreme. Ready to try a new approach, each single has signed up to this new radical dating experiment knowing they will be tested, in the hope it will lead to true love.

To encourage full transparency in their new relationships there is a prize fund of £100,000 up for grabs, but only if the daters choose to be open and completely honest about their true feelings.

Every day the daters will face The Honesty Box – a new AI-enhanced software – to be asked probing questions about their feelings. If The Honesty Box detects deception, it could impact their newly formed relationship… and the prize fund.

The singles will be guided through the experiment by host Vicky Pattison. Vicky will be joined by motivational speaker and Married at First Sight Australia alumnus Lucinda Light, who will be encouraging each of the daters to discover their inner truth.

The Honesty Box is available now on Channel 4.
