Plot Synopsis

Hosted by Emily Atack and Joel Dommett, SINGLETOWN is a reality series that follows five couples who press pause on their relationships and spend one incredible summer experiencing single life in London. Each couple has a different reason for putting their relationships on ice -- from school sweethearts who've never dated other people properly, newer relationships that have hit the rocks, or maybe two people who just want a summer of self-discovery before they settle down.

Having said farewell to their other halves, the newly uncoupled singletons begin their month of fun by moving into two super-swanky multi-million-pound flats on the banks of the River Thames -- but what they don't know is their exes are just across the hallway. As Singletown's newest residents get to know each other and settle into their luxurious surroundings -- Claudia, George, Luke, Selin and Elliot in the flat known as Riverside; and their exes Rob, Sophie, Tash, Jeremiah and Charlie next door in Cityside -- Emily and Joel drop by to offer their own team of five singles advice and guidance, while acting as celebrity matchmakers along the way.

The cameras capture the story of their summer of fun. Living in these luxury apartments in London, these new singletons go on dates with hand-picked suitors at the hottest venues in town, get to experience out of this world parties and unforgettable moments -- it's going to be their best single life. Plus, the singletons create life-long memories with their fellow flat mates and experience unforgettable dates in glamorous locations all over London town. such as sailing down the River Thames in a hot tub, taking to the skies in a helicopter and enjoying exclusive after-hours access to the capital's top attractions such London Zoo and the London Eye.

The hardest part? Seeing glimpses of what their ex has been up to before being coming face to face with them at the weekly Love Locket Ceremony to decide if they want to end their journey of discovery by coupling back up with their ex, or stick to flying solo for another week in Singletown? But at the end of the summer, will they choose to go back to their partner or stick to flying solo? For the five couples going through this experience, the stakes are high and the jeopardy is real.
