Maura Higgins, the former Love Island star, is reportedly in advanced discussions to become the host of a new reboot of the iconic dating show Blind Date, which is set to air on Disney+. The reboot aims to modernize the show while retaining its nostalgic elements, such as the famous wall separating contestants from their potential dates. Originally launched in 1985, the show was a major hit in the UK, hosted by Cilla Black, and drew audiences of up to 17 million viewers at its peak before being shelved in 2003. A revival aired on Channel 5 from 2017 to 2019 but did not achieve the same success. Producers believe Maura, with her glamorous persona and charm, is the perfect fit to lead the show, as her fame from Love Island and other TV appearances has made her a recognizable figure. Filming for the reboot is expected to begin later this year, with an official launch planned for next year.
