Former Premier League footballers Ryan Babel and Jamie O'Hara have deceived viewers as they find love on a reality TV show.

The show's premise revolves around five current and former footballers seeking love in Hollywood, Los Angeles while concealing their true identities from potential matches.

Mexican duo Marco Fabian, 34, and Sebastian Fassi, 30 are also footballers who will complete the cast, as reported by the Sun.

Fabian, known for his time at Eintracht Frankfurt, and Fassi, currently playing for Spanish third-tier outfit San Fernando, add an international flair to the mix. However, Fassi's involvement in a "love triangle" hints at potential drama unfolding.

In a trailer release, Jamie O'Hara, now a talkSPORT presenter, humorously disguises his profession, claiming to be an ad salesman. 

Nevertheless, O'Hara's experience doesn't shield him from on-set frustrations, as he's seen storming off at one point, expressing doubts about his participation.

In a standout moment from the trailer, O'Hara confidently declares his interest in one woman, stating, "I want you to come to London. You could have put 200 girls in there and I'd still only want you."

Meanwhile, Ryan Babel adopts the role of a construction worker to conceal his football background. Yet, he appears to fade into the background, with O'Hara and Jones taking centre stage in the promotional material. 

In a brief scene, Jones is shown kissing one of the women while pondering whether to fabricate feelings.
