The new BBC 3 show, which will follow couples who met during the pandemic via a dating app, is expected to begin filming later on in the summer.
It will see pairs who have only ever spoken online or on the phone thrown into a real-life date.
Adopting a Love Island aura, it will be filmed abroad, with travel restrictions meaning no official filming dates have been confirmed.
MailOnline has contacted a representative for Zara for comment.
