What is Scott Thomas’ new dating show Parties in Paradise?
According to reports, Parties In Paradise will see single men and women sail to the world's best party hot spots on a luxury yacht, where they will try and find love.
It is currently in production and will be made by Fremantle, the production company behind Netflix's Too Hot To Handle, and other huge shows like The X Factor and American Idol.
And it looks like the channels are fighting over it, with an insider telling The Sun Online: "It's in the middle of a bidding war between channels but it'll end up airing globally - it's huge.
The source added: "The boat will go between islands and they're looking for people who aren't famous - they want normal people who'll win the public's hearts, just like on Love Island.
When will Parties In Paradise be on TV and who is presenting it?
It is unknown when Parties in Paradise will finally hit our TV screens, but it is reportedly set to be filmed this October and November.
A source added to The Sun: "They haven't confirmed a presenter or when it's due to air, but it'll be going head to head with Love Island when it's on."
