They added: ‘That could include celebs from a walk of life where they’ve looked at incarceration from a different angle, whether they are ex-police officers, politicians, or actors who have played crooks but never actually been banged up.

If the pairs enjoy their first sexual encounter they can then meet in person to see if the bond is just as compatible in real life.
The pair can then decide whether to take the relationship further and start dating.
