Described as ‘ a daddy’s girl who will stop at nothing to impress her father,’ 29-year-old Sacha from Birmingham, has been in beauty pageants since she was six, and was even crowned Miss Birmingham, in 2018.
The hopeful bride has only ever had one long term relationship, which lasted three years.
Single for the last nine months, she made the decision to become celibate until the right man comes along.
Sacha is also a dedicated kickboxer and coming from a competitive family, being a go-getter ‘runs in her blood and pushes her to be as ambitious as she possibly can be’.
Meanwhile, 32-year-old Ross from Manchester is the first deaf contestant to appear on the E4 show.
Born deaf, Ross wears two hearing aids, but has never let this define who he is and what he wants to do in life.
He played for Everton Deaf football club, and was scouted for Team GB trials aged 17, before being confirmed for the first Deaf England squad.
He played all over the world until two years ago when he gave it up so he could be close to home for his daughter, who he cites as the center of his universe.

Busty brunette Lacey, who’s an office manager from Hertfordshire, will join the likes of Kent based careers adviser Polly during the dating experiment.
A TV source told MailOnline: ‘The new series of Married at First Sight UK is going to be the most dramatic yet.
‘There’s heartbreak, scandal, and couples who fall madly in love after marrying following their first meeting at the altar.
‘After growing in popularity over the years, with the format only continuing to expand, E4 bosses hope viewers will embrace the new couples when the season begins early next month.’
The first couple matched by the experts to tie the knot have been revealed to be dog walker Kristina, 30, and Kieran, 28, a mechanic from Newcastle.
Channel 4 shared a first look clip to social media on Wednesday, showing a glimpse into the thrilling moment the two come face to face for the first time on their wedding day.
The video began with Kieran waiting nervously at the altar for the ceremony to begin, sporting a checked suit and cream tie.
However, he had a cruel prank up his sleeve, as he subtly slipped in a pair of fake teeth, giving him a unattractive buck-toothed grin.
Kristina can then seen being walked down the aisle by her dad, looking stunning in classic sparkly white dress.
But as Kieran turns around and reveals his novelty crooked teeth, she looks shocked and gasps: ‘Oh my god!’
Her voice can be heard saying: ‘These teeth. What the f**k?’ as a cheeky Kieran beams and asks: ‘You alright, you ok? What’s your name?’
Fans flooded the comments with excitement for the new series to begin, while many slammed Kieran for the trick on Kristina, calling him an ‘instant ick’.

The programme sees sixteen singletons matched up with their partners for life by love gurus Melanie Schilling, Charlene Douglas, and Paul, meeting for the first time at the alter.
Following their risky nuptials, they embark on a joint honeymoon where the drama reaches boiling point and screaming matches ensue.
Taking inspiration from the Australian format of the show, the couples are brought together for group dinner parties, which also seem to be full of drama
Rather than legal marriages, the couples will make a lifelong commitment to one another at a glamorous ceremony, overseen by a wedding celebrant, that includes guests, bridal gowns, dancing, speeches and cake.
After the ceremony and celebrations are over, true love is well and truly put to the test, as they embark on a luxurious honeymoon, before moving in with each other and their fellow couples.
Relationships will be put under the microscope, by fellow brides and grooms at weekly dinner parties – as well as by the experts, at recurring commitment ceremonies, where couples choose whether they want to stay in or leave the process.
