Heart palpitations guaranteed! In the dating show HEIMLICH VERLIEBT, produced by UFA Show & Factual, courageous lovers confess their feelings to their big crush. The special feature: The loved one doesn’t know who is surprising them! RTL presents four episodes of HEIMLICH VERLIEBT every Sunday, starting August 23, 2020 at 7:05 pm.

Bianca Barth, Executive Producer at UFA Show & Factual: “HEIMLICH VERLIEBT celebrates the courage that lovers muster – in front of everyone, they take their fate into their own hands and finally say what they have often been carrying around with them for a long time. When else can you be there for this emotional moment? And no matter how a date ends – whether with violins in the sky or disillusionment: anyone who has dared to do this is definitely a hero.”

The secret admirers want to be more than their best friend, just a work colleague or the neighbor next door. The adored ones only know that someone wants to confess their love to them today – who it is remains a mystery until the moment they meet. The secret lovers face the unveiling date with palpitations. How will their crush react when he:she sees who walks through the door? Relief, big surprise or genuine shock?

As great as the hope is that this courageous first step will lead to a happy relationship, the fear of losing a good friend, being alone with your feelings or embarrassing yourself is just as great. Lovers take this risk in the hope of a happy ending.

HEIMLICH VERLIEBT is an adaptation of the Fremantle format “Secret Admirer”, which has already been shown in Sweden, Denmark, France, the USA and the UK. The 5th season of the dating format with the local title “Hemliga beundrare” has already been shown in Sweden this year.

RTL presents four episodes of HEIMLICH VERLIEBT every Sunday from August 23 at 7:05 pm. HEIMLICH VERLIEBT is a production of UFA Show & Factual GmbH.
