An exciting new dating show with a very unique twist is reportedly on it's way to screens in the UK - and it's a concept that's never been seen before.
TV bosses are looking to match up single vicars and other religious leaders who may be well established in their career, but are yet to find love.
The programme is thought to be being made by Ricochet, the production company behind the huge popular show The Repair Shop.
An insider told The Sun: 'This promises to be a real belter of a show because it's made by Ricochet, the same production company who gave us The Repair Shop.
'In this case they'll be mending broken hearts, and see vicars and other religious leaders as intriguing people who deserve to find love just like the rest of us.
'Though there'll obviously be some personal hoops to jump through, particularly those whose faiths prescribe certain behaviours when it comes to sex, love and marriage.'

According to the publication, producers are hoping to get their hands on 'fun candidates' like The Vicar Of Dibley's star character Anglican Geraldine Granger, who was played by Dawn French.
Although it's not been reported exactly where the show will air, some likely choices are the BBC, Channel 4, or a streaming service instead.
MailOnline has contacted Ricochet for comment.
It comes after Channel confirmed the return of a boundary-pushing dating show that previously shocked viewers with its swinging and threesome scenes.
Open House: The Great Sex Experiment, which initially aired in April 2022, is gracing screens once again with a new open relationships expert, a new luxury location and exciting new format twists.
The show has already had two successful seasons, each consisting of six jaw-dropping episodes.
It's a Firecracker production for Channel 4 and is framed as a 'social experiment' where everyday British couples can 'open up' their relationship by adding another partner, or more, in the bedroom.
The couples stay for two nights in a luxury mansion where they meet a sex therapist, previously Dr. Lori Beth Bisbey, who urges them to talk about their sexual desires.
When the evening arrives, they meet an assortment of 'sexually liberated' housemates, whom they are encouraged to approach about the possibility of joining them for sex.

Elsewhere, on ITV, Love Island: All Stars is returning to screens next week and the star-studded line up has been revealed
The program has been well received in the past, but its graphic subject matter - most notably the airing of a 15-person orgy in a UK TV first - raised eyebrows.
Series one shockingly remains Channel 4's biggest new unscripted 10pm series launch since 2017, and the second series was up with a 13% share of young audiences (16-34s) in the same slot - so it's no surprise that bosses have renewed it for another season.
Elsewhere, on ITV, Love Island: All Stars is returning to screens next week and the star-studded line up has been revealed.
Host Maya Jama, 30, is back as she prepares to welcome a new cohort of former singletons to the lavish South African villa in the hope of finding love.
Last year's series saw Molly Smith and Tom Clare crowned winners and bagged the whopping £50,000 prize.
Now show bosses have pulled out all the stops with their latest line-up which features Maura Higgins' ex, a series two OG and a former show winner.
