Beauty Queen and Single

The award-winning transformational dating series returns to challenge single beauty queens to strip away their picture-perfect image in pursuit of love.

Former Miss Great Britain and now make-up artist to the stars Gemma Garrett was the original single beauty queen and credits the experience with helping her realise the road to true love starts with self-love. Now she's hoping she can help four brand new self-confessed beauty queens discover the same by taking part in a dramatic 'make-under' to expose their natural beauty before heading off on a series of dates with five specially selected – and completely unknown – suitors.

While the featured girl enjoys the dates, the three remaining girls, and Gemma, follow the action from the safety of the sofa providing supportive and humorous commentary throughout.

The series kicks off with 25-year-old Lisa-Marie, a skincare-specialist and entrepreneur from Rostrevor who loves to look glam. Full of fun, she's looking for someone to share her ambition and passion for life with, but will stripping off her make-up to meet five perfect strangers lead to total trauma… or true love?

Episode two shines the spotlight on 28-year-old Vivienne, a human resources officer from Strabane. A hopeless romantic, this unlucky-in-love glamour queen has never let former boyfriends see her without make-up and admits the idea alone is totally traumatising. What happens when completely stripped of the make-up she relies on, she comes face to face with the boy next door from her childhood?

In this episode, Joyce, a 34-year-old hairdresser and salon owner from Belfast, in the spotlight. With a marriage and several failed relationships under her belt, she knows exactly what she wants from a partner – she just can't find him! She also knows her glamour queen image, and the larger-than-life personality it affords her, is intimidating to potential partners. Will stripping away the armour reveal a softer side and lead her to the man of her dreams?

In the final episode, Emma, a 28-year-old marketing manager from East Belfast is in the hotseat. After a period of casual dating, she's ready to settle down and enjoy a more steady relationship but fears her glamourous lifestyle and image puts potential partners off. Will removing the make-up and dressing down help this strong, independent woman find the perfect partner?
