Equestrians invited to catch The Love Bus for new TV programme
Could your passion for hunting or polo win you a beau or belle?
Producers of a new dating programme for the TV channel FIVER want equestrians to take part in the show, which involves speed dating on a converted London double-decker bus.
A spokesman described the show — The Love Bus — as a cross between Blind Date and Britain’s Got Talent, with potential daters proving their dedication to their hobby in order to win.
“But you need to make an impression very quickly or you might find yourself ejected from the bus at the next stop,” added producer Ben Rigby.
The producers are looking for single people aged between 18 and 30 to take part and the Love Bus will be stopping off at 10 venues around the country — including polo hotspots, the Cotswolds and Windsor.
