First Dates Ireland is back with a host of new singletons set to take to the restaurant in the hope of finding romance.
Maitre’D Mateo Saina and the team return for series eight, as more hopefuls keen to find a love match enter the First Dates restaurant this Thursday. And unlike the previous few years, the tables are intimate once again and the masks are off.
On hand as always is restaurant host Mateo, waiters Alice and Pete, and cocktail maestro Neil. Bursting through the door for the first episode in the new series this Thursday are best friends Aisling, 25, and Naomi, 26, ready for an unforgettable double date.
Self-confessed ‘girlo’ Aisling is matched with insurance underwriter Ross, 30, from Dublin. While a few tables away, dancing queen Naomi unleashes her best moves on marketing executive Brodie, 32, who grew up on a sheep farm in New Zealand.
Meanwhile old school romantic and multi-instrumentalist Garry, 73, from Wexford makes sweet music with line dancer and marathon runner Mary, 71, from Galway. And professional auto detailer Colm, 28, from Dublin accelerates from a standing start with petrolhead and ‘classy car girl’ Sorcha, 25, from Donegal.
The first new season of First Dates airs at 9.30pm on 5th January 2023.
