A source told The Sun: ‘Essex, Chelsea, Cardiff and Newcastle have all had their slice of the limelight with their own reality TV shows. And now it is Yorkshire’s chance to shine.
‘It’s one of the most beautiful places in the UK but it’s also home to the legendary Yorkshire men and women.
‘They are known not only for their hardiness, honesty and openness, but they also love a bit of banter. And they are legendary for taking on the challenge of drinking anyone under the table.’

The insider added the show would follow singletons as they try to find love, with plenty of ‘drama, chips and gravy to get them through the highs and lows of dating’.
MailOnline has contacted MTV for comment.
It is said bosses hope to film the programme over summer.
Filming for TOWIE and Made In Chelsea has currently been put on hold amid lockdown 3.0.
And while production has stopped a slew of reality stars who rose to fame on such shows have faced backlash for spending the previous weeks soaking up the sun in Dubai and elsewhere while Brits back at home are in a nationwide lockdown.

Many have travelled abroad under the ruse that their trips are ‘for work,’ sparking backlash from fans who have been holed up in lockdown amid the pandemic.
Among those who have shared glimpses of their trips to Instagram are Love Island’s Laura Anderson, Francesca Allen, Arabella Chi and twins Jess and Eve Gale.
Geordie Shore’s Chloe Ferry is also in Dubai for ‘work’ while TOWIE’s Yazmin Oukhellou and her beau James Lock have also been there for some time on ‘business’.
Many stars have insisted their trips are for ‘work’ as the government currently asks UK residents to avoid unnecessary travel.
Although at first not facing restrictions upon their return, it was recently announced that the country has been removed from the UK travel corridor amid the pandemic.
