TV personality Vicky Pattison and Married At First Sight Australia star Lucinda Light will host a new dating show centred on honesty. Titled The Honesty Box, the E4 series features single contestants vying for £100,000 while facing artificial intelligence (AI) software designed to detect truthfulness.
Vicky, known for Geordie Shore, Judge Geordie, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, and The Underdog: Josh Must Win, expressed her excitement about presenting the show. She remarked, “It really will put the ‘true’ in ‘true love’. I can’t wait for the daters to settle in to Truetopia and to share every twist and turn with them along the way. I hope beautiful, honest love stories will blossom.”
The nine-episode series, commissioned by Channel 4, will take contestants to a sunny, romantic location named Truetopia. Here, The Honesty Box, described by Channel 4 as “a new AI-enhanced software”, will test them.

Contestants who are sincere about their feelings could win the prize money. However, deception could affect both the prize and their relationships. Lucinda, who has toured the UK since MAFS, shared, “Having undergone my own radical journey to find love, I deeply empathise with our brave cast of singles. I’m passionate about the importance of truth and authenticity in building strong relationships. My goal is to guide our divine daters in making meaningful connections by encouraging them to share openly and honestly with one another, especially as they face the Honesty Box in Truetopia.”
The series, produced by Mettlemouse Entertainment and GroupM Motion Entertainment, was announced during the first day of the Edinburgh TV Festival on Tuesday.
Sarah Tyekiff, Mettlemouse chief executive known for her work on The Only Way Is Essex, Geordie Shore, and Celebs Go Dating, commented, “Everyone has experienced a relationship damaged by lies and deception in the past, and our cast are no different. To change this, they’re boldly taking part in our new social experiment The Honesty Box, the most honest dating show in the world, where we’ll discover if being truthful from the start is the best foundation for love. We can’t wait to see if anyone finds the true love they’re so desperately seeking.”
Martin Oxley, head of UK formats and entertainment at GroupM Motion Entertainment, added, “The sincerity of love on TV is under constant interrogation from all quarters, so we couldn’t be more thrilled to be part of The Honesty Box with Channel 4 and the extremely talented and experienced team at Mettlemouse.”
