“Summer House” star West Wilson is hosting a new dating show that will feature him romancing female celebrities — including “Hawk Tuah Girl” Haliey Welch.

Wilson, who rose to fame as a fan favorite on the Bravo reality series before facing criticism for his breakup from co-star Ciara Miller, will challenge women to competitive dates while talking about being single in the public eye on Complex’s YouTube show “West Date Ever.”

“The dates are, like, kind of gimmicky and cute, and there’s food and games and all that kind of stuff. It’s kind of just getting to know more about them and, like, what dating with a spotlight on you is like,” Wilson tells Page Six in an exclusive interview.

Wilson, 29, shares that the experience was helpful with his dating life because he was able to “relate to things both good and bad” with his suitors.

“No one knows what the right thing to do is, and people are learning day by day. I think that’s something that I’ve picked up on. … We think everyone knows exactly what they’re doing, but none of us actually do,” he admits.

The sports journalist explains that everyone he has met has gone through a lot of “trial and error” while “trying to figure things out and learn as we go.”

“I’m just excited to dip my toes into something new, which I love to do, and I’m just really excited about this, and hopefully, people like it,” he adds.

Wilson’s first date on the show will find him going fishing in Tennessee with Welch, who became a sensation overnight in June after talking about oral sex and coining the phrase “hawk tuah” in a viral TikTok video.

“It was fun going on a little day date with Haliey. She got thrown into the spotlight almost against her will, so I wanted to make sure she knew I wasn’t there to beat her viral meme over everyone’s heads,” he tells us.

“Everyone has a story and I wanted to get to know more about her and help her leave ‘Hawk Tuah’ in the past, you know?”

Welch, 22, for her part, says in the episode that it was “one of the best dates” she has been on because Wilson was a “real nice guy” who “genuinely wants to get to know you.”

Wilson has gotten more comfortable dating in front of cameras since his fling with Miller, 28, on “Summer House” Season 8.

However, their relationship ultimately went south after production wrapped last year when Wilson struggled to balance his newfound fame with his love life.

Wilson said the upcoming season of “Summer House” feels natural — even with Miller in the same house as him. Instagram “West Date Ever” premieres Thursday on Complex’s YouTube. Complex

Despite the show’s rocky reunion, which aired in June, it appears Wilson and Miller were able to repair their friendship, as they are both currently filming Season 9 in the Hamptons.

“I’m always impressed with how natural things are. You always think it will be, like, a big, weird thing in the house, and it’s just not. So, it’s great,” he tells us about the vibe of the cast’s share house.

“West Date Ever” premieres Thursday at 12 p.m. ET on Complex’s YouTube channel.
