If the truth be known, everyone is looking for that perfect partner…a little happiness. But are people just too busy for love? Would they know their soulmate if they walked past them in the street?

Well here is the answer in the form of Streetmate, and playing cupid to some of life’s singletons is Holly Willoughby.

What is the concept behind Streetmate?

Well, Streetmate is a dating show which is about real people with their real reactions, going on real dates. There’s no set-up involved, it’s has a very fly-on-the-wall feel, and I think it shows what people could do if only they were a little braver. There’s no audition process for the show so it’s giving people that maybe wouldn’t normally go for these types of shows a chance. It’s very off-the-cuff. When we find the people to go on the dates, they had no idea when they got up that morning that they were going to end the day as part of a television dating show!

Where in the country do you take your Cupid’s arrow?
