According to ITV the show will focus on: "Eight unsuspecting bad boyfriends will be flown to a Greek island under the premise of filming a series about manhood and bromance in a hedonistic holiday mecca, before getting the shock of their lives when Olivia appears to announce their wild partying days are on hold and to reveal the true purpose of the show - to whip them into better boyfriend shape."

The show will span across 11 episodes and after the initial shocking reveal of the true nature of why they’ve been flown to the Greek Islands, the boys will find themselves completing challenges and facing some tough love on the way.
