Baggage is a British television game show based on the American programme of the same name. The series, hosted by Gok Wan, premiered on Channel 4 on 21 September 2012.

Gameplay

Similar to the American version, the series features three single contestants who reveal secrets about themselves to a central prospective dater, who eliminates contestants with the baggage he or she deems most unbearable. Once the contestants are narrowed down to one, the main contestant must reveal a secret of his or her own.[1]

Production

Channel 4 ordered a series pilot on 23 February 2012;[1][2] Wan was announced as host on 5 July 2012.[3]
