"Can the guys impress her friends and family while revealing their hidden depths and vanquishing the opposition? Each day one of them will be asked to leave until five guys become ‘the one'."

Show executive producer Barnaby Boughlin said: "What I love about Five Guys A Week is its simplicity. A single woman chooses give guys, they move in, and each day she asks one of them to leave.

"Right from the start there's nowhere to hide - everyone's personalities and tastes and habits are immediately on display - chemistry ignites and very quickly the jostle to win the girl's hand ensues. But of course, the choice about who's going to be the 'last man standing' is down to her - which feels refreshing and very much of-the-moment.
