"the first blind dating show with an AI twist."
TikTok star Manrika Khaira will take on hosting duties as she will helm Heartwired, a new dating show that sets contestants up on blind dates but with an AI twist.
The upcoming YouTube show will see contestants trying to work out and eliminate bots that might be behind the doors.
But the singletons must be wary because they must also protect a real human – and a potential date – behind the door.
A teaser for Heartwired features Manrika announcing:
“Welcome to Heartwired, the first blind dating show with an AI twist.”
The teaser features one contestant and the internet personality hoping for an attractive dating, praying:
“Please be fit, please be fit.”
Whilst guiding the contestants to finding a date, Manrika shares a laugh with them as buzzers are pressed and surprises greet the hopeful singles.
At one point, a stunned Manrika looks on as a young man appears from behind the door and lifts up his giggling date, stating:
“See ya later ladies and gentlemen.”
Manrika then invited contestants to see if they could “spot the hot from the bot”.
Manrika also shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse of filming the dating show and hinted at some adult-friendly cheekiness.
With an edgy expression on her face, the caption read:
“This cast may get you cancelled before you even plan S2 [Season 2].”
The montage featured Manrika having fun with the contestants – and her array of vibrant outfits – as well as the show’s production.
Revealing when Heartwired will premiere on YouTube, a post read:
