New series for Channel 4 is looking for virgins and people with intimacy struggles to take part

Recent research by The Princes Trust and UCL reveals that 40 per cent of young people are anxious about meeting others, and more are staying virgins for longer than previous generations.

In this new format a number of young people will travel to a Mediterranean island retreat where, with the help of world-leading intimacy experts, they will have the chance to explore and hopefully overcome their fears.

Double Act Television: “This series uncovers a hidden issue totally at odds with the hyper-sexualised media portrayal associated with young people today. Addressing this in a sensitive and responsible way will provide contributors and audiences with a much more accurate picture of what many young people in Britain today are really experiencing.”

If you are aged 21 or over and would like to be guided in the art of intimacy, T&Cs and application form are at www.theintimacyretreat.co.uk
