Beckie thinks the show was successful because it could be watched with the whole family. It was such an amazing show. You could watch it before you were getting ready to go out, and I think all the contestants were pretty normal, nice and relatable to lots of families around the country," Adam adds.
Adams been away in China on business since Saturday. Adam thinks shows like Love Island have probably taken over for dating programmes. The latest series of Take Me Out was watched by an average of 1. An ITV spokesman said: "We'd like to thank Paddy, the production team at Thames as well as all the contributors who have appeared on the show for all their hard work in making the show such unmissable television. But the legacy of Take Me Out will continue, with Adam's twin brother due to marry Ella - a contestant from series eight and one of Beckie's friends.
And while they did consider a honeymoon at Fernando's, Beckie and Adam decided to go to Florida and the Caribbean instead. Listen to Newsbeat live at and weekdays - or listen back here.
Take Me Out contestant 'took own life'. Commit all these sights and smells to memory, because one day your grandchildren will ask you what the world was like when ITV cancelled Take Me Out. It is inexplicable, but true. Take Me Out is dead. Admittedly, the writing had been on the wall for a while.
The most recent series was kept on the shelf for more than a year before it was broadcast. Saturday night TV as an institution is struggling, so the show has not been enjoying the support it once did. But you would have to be a monster not to be a little sad about its death.
In fairness, it took me a while to realise this. When it began in , I watched with a kind of baffled horror. Before Take Me Out, I had assumed that the dating show had realised its perfect form in Blind Date : a nice, formal, sexless programme where the dater and datee at least interacted before they were flown off on holiday together. Take Me Out was not that show. Take Me Out was more like 2am in a rubbish provincial nightclub. A man was dragged in front of 30 women, many of whom would reject him on sight.
So, he kept adjusting his expectations, impressing them with tales of his laddish idiocy, until someone — anyone — accepted him as a potential mate. But the show adapted as it went on. This is to ensure that they dress differently for each 'episode filmed' - although the wardrobe department still supply a lot of extra outfits, just in case two girls turn up wearing the same thing.
Men and women have different holding areas, filled with magazines, snacks, and Wi-Fi, to keep them relaxed before the show kicks off. Yup, they may leave the set holding hands, but they are separated once they head backstage; their reunion in Fernando's is pretty genuine! Most contestants will be there from 10am until 10pm every day for two weeks or so, filming up to three episodes at a time.
The girls are expected to stand behind their podiums for the majority of the day, but Paddy is reportedly only on set for ten to fifteen minutes at a time. There are eight dressing rooms, so three or four girls will tend to share a dressing room - which makes for a lot of fun and friendships! Despite claims to the contrary, Take Me Out insist that the shows are NOT scripted - and kept as authentic as possible.
Which means that, yes, girls often have to think up their answers and one-liners on the spot. They said: "We strongly refute any claims that we tell any contestant how to act or respond. Speaking to The Debrief , a former contestant explained: "When they have the break before each guy comes down the love lift they'd tell us if they thought he would suit any of us or warn us if he was going to be a bit different. You were only meant to turn your light off if there was a real reason so that was quite hard.
Paddy will ask each girl six or seven questions per show, but only one or two will end up on the show. Girls take a packed suitcase with them to each show, because if they're selected, they're flown off to the Isle of Fernando's the very next morning at 3am. Although, yeah, that's actually still a really nice destination for a first date!
