Also in the show is Amira Graham from Belfast who is best known for the title of Miss Earth Northern Ireland.
The pilot programme features former Miss Great Britain Gemma Garrett.
The 35-year-old said: “If I had been going on this date five years ago and someone said you can’t wear any makeup, I mean, I would have had a meltdown.”
