BBC Three announces that it will show US HBO Max dating series FBoy Island starting later this month.

BBC Three has announced that it has picked up the HBO Max dating series FBoy Island for broadcast later this month.

The 10-part show follows three women looking to get into long-term relationships who are given 24 hot young men to choose from.

The twist is that only half of the men are really in it for love and the other 12 are just pretending in the hopes of winning a cash prize.

"This series completely flips the dating show concept on its head which makes it fun and captivating viewing," said BBC Three controller Fiona Campbell.

"It has a lot of humour and heart and although it shouldn't be taken too seriously, it does leaves enough room for real romance.

"It's already been received really well in the US and we think it will be a great addition to our original commissions on BBC Three."

Hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, FBoy Island launches on BBC Three later this month.
