Streetmate is a reality dating game show that first aired on Channel 4 from 30 October 1998 to 9 March 2001, hosted by Davina McCall, and then aired on ITV2 from 27 September to 29 November 2007, this time hosted by Holly Willoughby. The series returned to Channel 4 in 2017, instead hosted by Scarlett Moffatt.
History
A spin-off version called Beachmate aired for 5 episodes in 2001 hosted by Tania Strecker.
Two special editions of the show have aired for charity: the first was a celebrity episode with Emma Bunton and Brian Dowling for Comic Relief on 14 March 2003; the second was for Stand Up to Cancer UK on 21 October 2016. This mini episode featured First Dates star Fred Sirieix.
Format
The host picks an eligible male or female from the streets, and then with their help, they approach equally eligible members of the opposite/same sex for a date. The couple will then go on a date and then report if it was a success or a failure.
However, for the 2017 series, the first person looking for a partner was already chosen.
