A fictional dating app created in a hit TV show has made its way into the real world. Bumble , a dating app where women make the first move, teamed up with Apple TV comedy Ted Lasso to bring fictitious dating app Bantr from the show to real life.
The app lets people match and chat first without seeing each others' photos. Despite being inexperienced in the sport, the character attempts to win over the English town and team with charm and high spirits.
On the show, the club is introduced to the app by Keeley pictured , who is played by actress Juno Temple. Bumble, a dating app where women make the first move, teamed up with Apple TV comedy Ted Lasso to bring fictitious dating app Bantr pictured on Bumble from the show to real life. On the show, the club is introduced to the app by Keeley played by Juno Temple. Bumble's Bantr requires people to chat with their potential match before they see any photos.
However, the wait is a little shorter and after just three minutes people will be asked whether they want to connect and see their match's photos. The weekly Bantr Live experience on Bumble mirrors the same format as in the show and also gives users the chance to grab a subscription to Apple TV. It is only later on in the show that the mystery man is revealed to be one of the club's football players.
Once the event begins each week, those playing will be automatically connected to someone based on their location, age and gender preferences. Bumble partnerships chief Olivia Yu said: 'The premise of Bantr is a dating experience many of our members have expressed interest in over the years.
