Love Me Warts and All / Premiere
For most people, looking for love can be daunting. But for singles with secret physical afflictions the search to find 'the one' can seem almost impossible. This observational documentary series follows 10 unique singletons – ordinary people living with extraordinary medical conditions – on their quest to find love.
All these conditions can be kept secret during a date, and with that comes a whole world of dilemmas. From well-known problems such as acute acne, missing limbs and genital herpes, to medical anomalies such as profuse sweating or excessive hair growth, all of our singletons are agonising over the problems that these conditions are causing in their love lives.
