While likes Love Island and Love is blind dominates the airwaves, there’s always room for more reality TV dating shows. It is there Heartbeat comes in.
The viral Nigerian show – which airs on Africa Magic – brings together ten contestants over a 12-week period in the Love Pad, hoping that true love will blossom.
Of course, it doesn’t always work that way though, with many postponements, arguments and betrayal.
But you can see Heartbeat online outside Nigeria? Here’s how to access all episodes if you’re traveling abroad – in the UK, US, Australia or elsewhere.
Below we show you where to look Heartbeat no matter where you are.
How to watch Heartbeat online and on TV
There are a number of ways to look Heartbeat in Africa, where the show originated, but it will be more difficult to access this dating show from other parts of the world.
The show first aired on Africa Magic on January 11 and ran for 12 weeks, meaning it ended on March 29. All episodes are now out there to watch at the following locations.
Africa: DStv | Showmax
Outside of Africa? NordVPN will unlock your local streams and watch from anywhere – more on that below.
Use a VPN to watch Heartbeat anywhere
A VPN is a handy piece of software that can make your device appear as if it’s back in your home country, thereby letting you unlock your usual streaming services (terms permitting). The best VPN right now? We recommend NordVPN – it does everything and comes with a 75% discount.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple:
1. Install VPN of your choice. As we have said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Select the location you want to connect to in the VPN app. For example, if you are in the US but want to watch African TV channels, select an African server from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the show. Go to Showmax or your usual domestic streaming service and watch Heartbeat.
How to watch Heartbeat online in the US
In the United States, Heartbeat is not available on any US streaming platform, but there are ways around that problem.
Visiting the US from Africa? You can still watch all episodes of the show from anywhere by using a VPN and tuning into either DStv or by using Show max streaming service.
How to watch Heartbeat online in the UK
