Okay okay.

Who saw Too Hot To Handle on their Netflix recommendations page and scoffed, and then nek minute you’ve blinked and watched all eight episodes and are frantically googling if Harry and Francesca are still together?

Same.

It’s the trashy reality TV child ofBig BrotherandLove Islandthat we’ve all been secretly binging in one sitting, because heck, direct us to a show more perfectly crafted for self isolation. (It’s like they knew we’d be locked down in a pandemic unable to touch or be with the people we love.)

Watch the trailer for Netflix’s Too Hot To Handle. Post continues below.

So, after smashing through all eight episodes, you’re hungry for more, yes?

Don’t worry, we’ve done the sleuthing for you and searched the internet for any little morsels of gossip we can find.

There’s only one couple (allegedly) still standing.

Obvious question: which couples are still together?

We have dedicated a whole article to this topic, because #important, which you can read here.

But to summarise, Harry and Francesca appear to have broken up after giving it a red hot go.

They both posted photos in each other’s respective towns (LA and Queensland), but by Valentine’s Day they were posting blatant burns.

“As Valentine’s Day approaches it’s a good time to think about relationships and how it’s two people coming together to solve problems you wouldn’t have if you were just single,” wrote Harry.

“Happy V day to everyone getting drunk w their friends tonight & NOT texting their exes,” said Francesca.

David and Lydia weren’t actually an official couple by the end of the show, but there was potential. That… flopped.

David’s been posting about the fact his “DMs will be open 24 hours for applications” and Lydia appears to be hanging out on fellow contestant Bryce’s boat (?!).

As for Sharron and Rhonda, there is a very strong possibility they are still together. But neither are giving enough away on their social media profiles for us to come to a definitive conclusion.

Harry has WON another dating show.

Australian contestant Harry Jowesy has in fact already been on a dating show… and won.

In 2018, he appeared on New Zealand’sHeartbreak Island,and won $100,000 with the girlfriend he met on the show, Georgia Bryers.

They split up after six months because she “didn’t appreciate girls commenting on his Instagram pictures,” reports The Sun.

Harry told Mail Online,“I definitely think that going on this second show it was a way easier decision because I knew exactly what I was getting into”.

Some contestants got ‘approached’.

More than 3000 people auditioned for the show, but while Harry admits he sent in an application, Francesca says she was approached and told that she was going “somewhere tropical with a bunch of other single people”.

“I was actually reached out to via Instagram DM by one of the producers. I get messages like this all the time but the way that she was explaining it, it seemed kind of legit, so I hopped on a Skype call with her,” she told Esquire.

Nicole told Collider,"We had different interviews with the team, and they were asking us, ‘Okay, your ideal date? When would you sleep with someone? After what kind of date? Are you into partying?"

From the start, it was a "global pitch" which is what suited Netflix's platform, and when the contestants all landed for filming in Mexico in April 2019, they just thought it was going to be a dating show - a bitLove Island-esque.

FYI, we tracked down the villa that hosted the show.

Casa Tau's private villa in Punta Mita retails at $15,660 a night. Wow.

The show was inspired by Seinfeld.
