Speaking to The Sun, Davina explained that the show is very different to other dating programmes such as Love Island, as contestants are seeking love, rather than fame.
Davina explained that firstly, the contestants differ from usual dating shows but also added: ‘The other thing is, because of the cultural differences, it’s so flipping funny.’
She revealed: ‘There were a few really massive eruptions of lust — real love-at-first-sight stuff, where somebody would walk through the door and they were like, “Wow!”‘
Seal of approval: Meanwhile, viewers gave their verdict on the new dating concept, with many watchers noting that they were intrigued and liked what they’ve seen so far
In a statement from Channel 4 they explained: ‘A group of Brits seeking romance will travel to Spain where they’ll meet their potential partners – a group of Spanish speakers also looking for their own historia de amor – to test whether love is deeper than just words.
‘Can sparks fly even with a language barrier to overcome?’
Channel 4 continued: ‘The newly-formed couples will take part in challenges and tasks to help them test their connection as well as learning more about each other’s countries, their culture and their languages.
‘At the end of the series, will they choose amor or adiós? The international lovers will face a big dilemma: to call it quits, stay together long distance, or perhaps move country to be with their newfound love.’
Language Of Love continues Tuesday at 10pm on Channel 4.
