Too Hot to Handle is back on Netflix for its sixth season, with 10 new singles all ready to find love and possibly break some rules along the way.

That's right, Lana's retreat is back – but this time there is a twist. Unlike previous seasons, the contestants are now well aware they are on Too Hot to Handle, and Netflix has got some tricks up its sleeve to make season 6 one to remember.

From new twists and some familiar faces returning, there is plenty for the contestants to get up to, but that isn't all. While Lana will be back watching over the group, her evil new sidekick, Bad Lana, is also being introduced.

And it's safe to say the wayward virtual assistant speaker is already causing a stir, with one X user describing the device as "hilarious", and another saying its introduction is likely to crack the game wide open, as they're a "bad influence".

But aside from Bad Lana, who are the new group of singletons entering the villa this time around? Read on for everything you need to know about the cast of Too Hot to Handle season 6.

Another model entering the retreat, Chris from Manchester thinks he's ready to take on Lana. He's a chess player who has travelled all over the world, but he has never stayed in one place for long enough to find a meaningful connection with someone – perhaps until now.

Stockbroker by day and model by night, Demari could well become the retreat accountant – however, will he be looking to stick to the rules himself with plenty of temptation around him?

Before the first episode, he teased: "Tropical Island, Beautiful Women, & ME?! BET." Confidence personified.
