Too Hot To Handle confirmed for season 5 - and start date is just weeks away
The naughty dating show is back sooner than you think!
It won’t be long before a new batch of singletons are tasked with keeping their hands off of each other in another instalment of Too Hot To Handle.
That’s right folks: the Netflix dating show is returning for its fifth season – and the start date is just weeks away.
Netflix UK's official Twitter page confirmed the news, tweeting: "As if it wasn't hot enough already. Too Hot To Handle Season 5 arrives 14 July!"
Along with the release date announcement, Netflix released a short video featuring clips from past seasons.
The footage also gives fans a glimpse at the new cast as fans are told: "This summer the heat is rising for a new cast. Things are getting too hot to handle. It's back and hotter than ever."
The show places a bunch of singletons on a romantic resort and puts them to the ultimate test: not coming into sexual contact with one another.
The contestants have to abstain from kissing or touching or risk having money deducted from the total prize pot, with the winners taking home what's left of the cash prize.
