A guide to navigating the tricky world of dating from some of The Undateables

The Undateables returns with some familiar faces sharing their extra special plans with loved ones for the festive season - from releasing a Christmas single, to delivering the seasonal post on time. Rock star Daniel from Brighton is busy planning the release of his latest single, while also dreaming of a girlfriend for Christmas and beyond. In Bournemouth, poet Shaine is getting in the mistletoe, in anticipation of that first ever kiss with his girlfriend Gemma. Ray, a charity worker from north London, will be spending Christmas with his new girlfriend, Christine. Ray plans a romantic date, including a festive horse and carriage ride around Richmond Park. Richard, or Lord Richard as he now prefers to be known, is planning a festive card for the new significant lady in his life - Anna. And postman Sam, from Surrey, hopes that a romantic date at Bath Christmas Market will prove the right setting for him to ask Francesca if she'll be his girlfriend.

The Undateables returns, catching up with some familiar faces and following their extra special plans to spend the festive season with their loved ones. For some, love has blossomed. For others, it's still a case of waiting for Cupid to strike. As Lizzie and Joseph make plans to host their first ever Christmas party, Ray and Christine opt for a more intimate meal just for two. While Charlotte hopes that Santa will bring her a boyfriend, Richard, a self-confessed Scrooge, sees the advantages of being single at this time of year. And then there's Daniel. A year on from getting together with girlfriend Lily, Daniel's got a Christmas wish that only she can grant. But will Lily say yes?

Familiar faces from the dating show share their plans for the Christmas season, including rock singer Daniel, who is celebrating his first anniversary with fiancee Lily, and has prepared a special festive surprise. Elsewhere, Christine takes her boyfriend Ray on a Christmas trip to see his beloved Leeds United play. Less lucky in love are 21-year-old Fran from Milton Keynes and 45-year-old Richard from Surrey - but nevertheless, both are planning to return to the dating fray.
