Too Hot To Handle star Melinda Berry is swapping being in front of the camera for a behind the scenes role on Netflix’s newest reality dating series, Dated and Related.
The 29-year-old is hosting the new series, which follows pairs of siblings and twins (and in one case, cousins) as they help each other wingman and wing-woman to find love.
At stake, is a $100,000 prize for the winning family, but will relationships survive as bombshells are thrown in along the way?
The show is a little different to what Melinda may be used to, as she starred on season two of Too Hot To Handle.
The model and TikToker hit it off with Marvin Anthony on the programme but it was later revealed in the reunion special that they had split shortly after the series.
Now, Melinda’s doing reality TV in a different way, and with 15 siblings herself, she’s ready to dish out all the challenges to this new series, which sees siblings help each other find love.

About hosting the new show, she exclusively told Metro.co.uk: ‘I come from a massive family of 16 siblings. So I was like it’s a no brainer. I know what it’s like to find love. I know what it’s like to not find love. And I have a big family. So I’m like, this is my field. I know exactly how to do this.’
Speaking about how it feels to be on the other side of cameras now, Melinda continued: ‘It was such an eye opener for me. Because I was like, this is what goes on behind the scenes. This is what happens.

‘But it also felt good to be talent and to sit back and be like, wow, this is fun. It was also good to watch the contestants behind the scenes and seeing how some of them were very vulnerable and just very raw and open.
‘And I was like wow that was me a year and a half ago. And now I’m behind the scenes watching this. It was so surreal.’

However, she jokingly added that this wasn’t a show she’d be partaking in with her own siblings, saying: ‘No, no, I see the yelling and the headaches and the bickering and the arguments. Yeah, no. I’m okay with being behind this.’
Melinda enters the villa to give the contestants their various challenges, make some jaw-dropping announcements and ultimately send some of them home if they’re not successful in helping their siblings find love.
Dated & Related is available to watch on Netflix.
