Stacey Solomon will help the public - specifically some if its more dishonest members - to find love in brand new show I Lied for Love.
The programme is being developed by Channel 4 Formats, with the plan being for Solomon to present it on Channel 4's sister channel E4.
The series will feature people who have faked their dating-site profiles to find love.
Taking those who have exaggerated their qualities, edited photos, or just outright lied to get a date, Solomon will help turn their dating-site persona into reality before meeting an online suitor face to face for the first time.
Dating shows are a popular staple for Channel 4, with the wonderfully awkward First Dates seeing a huge surge in applications when it returned to our screens a few weeks ago.
It also isn't Solomon's first time presenting a dating show, having previously paired with Chris Moyles...

If I was picking dream jobs, being a cowboy would definitely be in my top five. Being a rockstar, playing James Bond and opening the batting for the England cricket team would probably come above it, but cutting a dash in a fancy Stetson, strutting about all day in some 501s and pistol-whipping bad guys sure sounds like fun to me.
All this considered I was rather excited about Sky Atlantic's latest big budget Us import Vegas. Sheriffs and mobsters. Vegas glitz and Nevada dust. Cowboys and casinos. Who wouldn't be excited?
This premiere episode didn't sizzle as much as I was hoping - the '60s period detail was wafer thin, the show quickly slipped into all too familiar crime procedural tropes - but it was never boring and what it lacked in depth it made up for in bad-ass, ball-kicking villains and grizzled, horse-riding good guys.

A friend and I once came up with something called “The 98% rule”, which states that 98% of things – especially people – aren’t worth bothering about. Instead, you should celebrate and cherish the 2% you find worthwhile. So whilst the majority of television these days is made up of a tired mish-mash of soaps, panel shows, reality shows and programmes about professionals, amateurs, celebrities or children that can cook, that when something different comes along, it’s worth celebrating the 2% originality.
Step forward Charlie Brooker, whose wonderfully warped Black Mirror series returns for a three episode run this week. Brooker’s been gathering momentum for well over a decade now, and has remained one of the most original and entertaining writers, commentators and presenters in the UK. Here’s my list of his 10 finest moments…

Stacey Solomon found it ''hilarious'' co-presenting 'The Love Machine'. The 23-year-old star hosted the Sky Living dating show alongside Chris Moyles earlier this year, and she was shocked by some of reasons people gave to try to avoid a date. She said: ''It was hilarious filming 'Love Machine' - Chris Moyles is great. The contestants are just so honest, especially the girls, they're just judging people on appearances so we hear all sorts of excuses - his nose is too big, I don't date gingers, it's hilarious!''

Stacey Solomon has admitted that she is too lazy to take her make-up off before going to bed. The Love Machine host made the confession as she promoted a Cartoon Network-organised attempt to enter the Guinness Book of Records for building a giant Ben 10 model out of bricks. The 22-year-old told Closer: "The first thing I do in the morning is take off my make-up from the day before. "I'm so lazy - I never do it at night. It's terrible. I drink lots of water though so that's probably the only reason I (more)...
