Jerry Springer dating show 'Baggage' arriving on Channel 4

Jerry Springer dating show Baggage has been picked up for a pilot by Channel 4.

The pilot will not air, but if it impresses the broadcaster the show is expected to have a full series primetime launch, according to Broadcast.

Chocolate Media will produce the show, which airs in the US on Sony's GSN channel.

Baggage is based around three hopeful daters revealing secrets and flaws by opening suitcases filled with truths and shocking facts about themselves, while hoping to secure a date with a fellow singleton.

When the three contestants are whittled down to one, the prospective dater must reveal a surprising fact of their own.

The US series, which has also been picked up in Australia, has featured contestants with unusual bad habits and embarrassing secrets such as "I share a bed with my grandmother" and "My partner must dress up as Santa Claus".
