Jamie O’Hara mocked for appearing in ‘absolutely terrible’ new dating show for footballers

Jamie O’Hara has been mocked by fans for appearing in what has been described to be an ‘absolutely terrible’ new dating show for footballers.

Peacock’s newest show, “Love Undercover,” features five renowned soccer players exploring their chances in the modern dating scene without their celebrity status.

The trailer for the reality series was unveiled by the streaming platform on the 4th of April, showcasing current and former footballers from all over the world.

The athletes will conceal their true identities from the contestants with the teaser revealing that these men are accustomed to a life of opulence, complete with luxury cars, designer attire, and encounters with the paparazzi.

However, on “Love Undercover,” they will temporarily reside in LA and interact with a group of single American women who are unaware of their fame.

Assuming roles as contractors, salesmen, and restaurant managers, they will discover if these women are genuinely interested in them without considering their renowned status and wealth.

Each man will embark on multiple dates while attempting to keep their personal lives under wraps.

Nevertheless, it becomes apparent that some of the women begin to suspect that the men are concealing certain aspects of their lives during the process.

“None of the men are being honest about who they are,” contestant Jacklyn Romano tells the other ladies in one clip.

After a few dates, the men need to confess who they are before inviting one woman to return with them to Europe.

“Prepare for a worldwide love adventure,” says narrator and comedian Jared Freid in a voiceover. The rest of the trailer then sees some dramatic moments the athletes will face along their journey.
