New First Dates podcast looking for people from Northern Ireland to share their stories

The makers of the popular TV show First Dates are looking for daters from Northern Ireland to take part in their brand-new podcast.

Together they hear from people with outrageous, heart-warming, hilarious and inspiring dating stories. Expect unbelievable meet cutes and first date trainwrecks.

Every week, the podcast will bring listeners the highs and lows of romance, letting them in on the post-date debrief.

Casting is underway for the first series of the podcast and producers are particularly keen to hear love stories (or the horrors of dating) from people from Northern Ireland.

The casting call reads: "First Dates are launching a brand-new podcast and are looking for people from across the UK who have a great dating story to share!

"A wardrobe malfunction…being given a bizarre gift…being locked in a restaurant’s bathroom and your date having to rescue you…we want to know.

"And you don’t have to be single right now – we want to hear from couples too, especially if there's a great story behind how you met."

Stories can be told anonymously if preferred.

First Dates: The Podcast is a standalone joint production between podcast production studio Podimo and Twenty Twenty productions, the makers of First Dates since 2013.

You can get in touch via email at firstdatespodcast@twentytwenty.tv or for more casting information, see www.twentytwenty.tv/takepart/FirstDatesPod
