Trading bikinis and speedos for "thigh-high boots and faux-fur", celebrity reality TV singles have descended on Queenstown to film a wintry version of the dating show.

Ex on The Beach: Peak of Love is a chilled spin on the reality TV series which sees contestants compete for love then get blindsided by the arrival of an ex - literally washed up on the beach.

A trailer for the Queenstown season shows a woman skiing down a slope, sliding to a halt and - all of a sudden in a bra and little else - removing her ski goggles and helmet to toss her hair in slow motion.
