“No devices, no distractions, and nowhere to hide.”

Radio personality Jackie O Henderson is expanding her career with a new stint on television with Channel Seven’s Stranded On Honeymoon Island.

In a Survivor meets Married At First Sight, this reality dating television series pairs 12 “unlucky” in love couples – matched during a speed dating event.

These couples will then be dramatically stranded on a desert island “somewhere” in the South Pacific for 21 days with nothing but their wedding attire. What could go wrong?

But why force these couples to reside on a deserted island? The concept is designed to help the couples build true connections away from the “distractions” and “conveniences” of modern-day.

“No devices, no distractions, and nowhere to hide, these brave couples will live and breathe their new relationship,” Seven reported in a statement.

Guiding the pairings through the challenges of nature and new relationships will be Jackie O, best known for her radio gig alongside co-host Kyle Sandilands.

“Her narration will bring an added layer of warmth and humour, making the series even more irresistible,” a statement from Seven read.

“The inspired fusion of the most powerful elements of the survival and relationship genres has created a raw, honest and utterly absorbing take on the search for love that Australian audiences will find completely irresistible!”
