First Dates Hotel | All the Cute, Awkward & Funny Moments! | Part 1

Hello, how are you? Very good, thank you. What's your name, please? Juliet. Juliet? Oh, what a beautiful name. Thank you. Are you here to find your Romeo? Hopefully. Well, we've got Othello for you. Oh, what? Othello. I thought you said an old fellow. Not an old fellow. He's here. Hiya, how are you? I'm good, thank you. I'm Juliet. I'm Othello. Nice to meet you. Is your name actually Othello? Yeah. Oh, my God. That's so crazy. Othello is a good icebreaker. It's a pretty unique name. I'm very lucky to have it. Ironically, I wasn't happy with it when I was a kid. You know, when you're in school, you want to be called John. So, we're both Shakespeare players. Yeah. And then you get to 14 and you start standing out. Can I have a glass of prosecco, please? People remember your name. What's your name again, sir, really? Othello. Othello? Sorry. What do you do? I work for a shipping company. Really? Yeah. It's as boring as it sounds, yeah. Do you know what, though? It is what it is. That's just... Yeah. What do you do? Right, so, I'm going to show off right now. I'm an international sales manager. What do you sell? You've been to trade shows before. Not really. Well, I basically just sell square metres of a stand. So, if someone's got, like, a nine-square-metre stand, or an 18-square-metre stand, or a 36-square-metre stand... OK. ...I sell the square metre for that person or that business. So, you sell, like, space? That's exactly what I sell. What are the boxes that need to be ticked to be in Juliet's arms? The first thing... Please don't say an afro. So, what, you just, like, prefer to, like, go bald? It doesn't grow back. Juliet, real talk, do you like a man with hair or no hair? Hair. So, at what age did you realise you was, like, losing your hair? What happened was, one week, at 23, I went to the barber, and the barber, his name was Abdul. He went, oh, my friend, you're getting bald, eh? Yeah, two, three years, it's all gone. Bitch, what? I was like, Abdul doesn't do my hair anymore. The most annoying thing about getting bald early was I didn't experiment with my hair. I've had one haircut in my life. Real talk, cornrows. Really? I swear, Dan. And the beads would match the crepes. So, I'm rocking red crepes, I'm rocking red beads. I'm rocking blue crepes, I'm rocking blue beads. You are so funny. I'm glad that you owned it. But, yeah, no, I did. In school, I thought I had all the game, like, all the game. Things used to go my way, and they now don't go my way. Losing my hair definitely affected my confidence when dating. Maybe, subconsciously, I am overcompensating. Who knows? Who knows? I do try and go to the gym. As you can tell, I'm quite skinny. Where I'm quite lucky is I don't gain weight easily. That used to be me until about six months ago. Where did your metabolism go? I'll see you later. I'm not a fan of skinny girls. It's always good to have... I don't want to say a little meat, because that sounds like, yeah, you are fat. You are not. Most men, they don't like that skinny look, you know? Bar? There's no bar. Oh. Look, I think you look good. Let me rephrase that. I think you look amazing. OK, let me go to the toilet. I'll back in one second. I was going to say, you're travelling light. Technical issue. Airport is coming. No! It's all right, we're here, though. We're here, baby. How did that happen? They just didn't put it on the plane, Gatwick. So, yeah, but it's coming later, I hope. Sam, I'm back. How's it going? I've got you one of my spare uniforms. I think that one's going to fit you the best. Yeah, it's a nice fit. Do you want to try it on, just in case? Yeah, no, definitely. My last relationship seemed to be going all right. Everything seemed to be... perfect. It fits. Literally out of the blue, got a text from her, just basically explaining what she'd done. Obviously got cheated on. All right, so you've got good feelings? You're going to look good, man. Who picked you up, though, when that happened? Probably my mum, to be honest with you. She's a good woman. She wears her heart on her sleeve. And what kind of girl does your mum want you to meet? Somebody doesn't give me a headache. Hey, how are you? Hello. I recognise the look. No sliders, no... Yeah, that's nice. You look good. Come with me. Thank you. No, leave, we'll look after you. Thank you. You didn't tell me you had a trial starting tonight. I'm off. Come, sit down. How you doing, man? You all right? Very good, very good. Nicely, Tom. Very nice to meet you, Tom Merlin. Nice to meet you. So tell me then, what are you looking for in a girl? What do you like? It's got to be the legs. Legs and bum, innit? I don't actually have a type. Personality is huge. If you're talking to an ironing board and nothing's coming back, you might as well just call it quits early doors, you know what I mean? Mamma mia. Hello. Oh, la, la. So nervous. How are you? You're so beautiful. Thank you. Just someone who's sort of down to earth, laid back. I like having a laugh and a joke, so, yeah. It's my dream girl, really, to be honest. Hello, it's Francesca. It's lovely to meet you. Nice to meet you. What's your name? Tom. Tom, lovely to meet you. How you doing? You all right? I'm so nervous. Don't be, don't be. Oh, I feel like I need a drink. Go on, get a drink. Hi, how you doing? Erm, can I have some red wine, please? Just a small one, that's not too much, yeah. So, what do you do? Youth work. Oh, OK. So, I'm working up with, like, young people in, like, in the jails. Youth offending services. That must be really tough, though, like, seeing those kids. Yeah, they just need a role model, they need an arm around their shoulder. That's actually amazing. Yeah. You look nice, you look good. Oh, thank you, you look lovely as well. Thank you, I try. I'll tell you my story later, but, like, they are unbelievable. Do you want to hear some banter? So, I've landed. I've gone to, obviously, pick up my baggage. My baggage just never came. No way. It's on its way from Gatwick. Oh, crap. So, literally, I was just going to walk in here with my sliders and my shorts. But I didn't go and get this sorted out. Yeah, where did you get that from? Good evening, how are you? Hello. Good, thank you. How's it? No way, you wear... Shut up. You actually wear the same thing. I'm so in trouble, you. We just had a call from the airport. They've found your suitcase. Great, show me some love, show me some love. There we are. Do I have...? Don't worry. Perfect. Thank you very much, thank you. Cheers, mate, thank you, cheers. I'm buzzing. No, my day's not a day. Do you know what? I've got to be honest, yeah. I'm so buzzing I made you on a date. I really am. When he walked in, I was just like, get in there. I was really worried. I was like, is he going to like me? Am I going to like him? But I actually think it's gone really well. Lauren is getting ready for her blind date. Please go good, please go good. Nice. I was actually at Glastonbury and I was in the tent with my best mate. I mean, here, feel this. She was like, oh, that's a big lump. I was like, I know. Right, lashes, you bastard. A week later, I was taken into an office with my mum and my little brother and told that it wasn't good news, it was breast cancer. Yeah, to which I replied. Are you ******* kidding me? I don't have any bastard tits. The closest thing I could describe finding out I had cancer to was having my heart broken. I was heartbroken. Yeah, I was heartbroken. It's my life and I wanted to live it and I didn't know if I would have a life to live. So, when you're put in that situation, you re-evaluate a lot of your situation and I'm very, very fortunate to be here. I'm very lucky to be here, I'm grateful to be here and now I'm like, I've got a life to live and I want to share it with someone. I don't want to do this on my own anymore, I want someone to take care of me. I like a London girl, I like the London accent, yeah. It's quite important for whoever it's going to be to be able to integrate into my friends, to get the chat, to get the banter. Is he coming? Not long now. Oh, I hope he's good. I want my best friend that I want to rip their clothes off. Do you know what I mean? I want to be able to hang out but then also have them hang out with me. That's disgusting. I just don't want that anywhere. Hey, how are you? Hi, how are you doing? Very well. Did you have a good afternoon? I did indeed. Nice and chill, nice and relaxed. Get out of here! You know each other? Yes! Oh, yes! We're often in here. Every now and then, thanks. Every now and then. We know each other. London. True friends. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How many times have you met before? We saw each other, like, what? Three weeks ago. Nuts. Can I have a beer, please? Yeah. What are you having? Elderflower, Prosecco thing. So where did you guys first meet? We've got a lot of mutual friends. Yeah, we're always around each other but we're not always together. Like, who I'm close with, you kind of know-ish. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ships passing in the night. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, pretty much. This is amazing. I'll leave you guys to catch up. This is awesome. It's sick in here, though, isn't it? Yeah, it is. How you been getting on? Babe, I'm fine. I'm just booming bust. You look ******* good. Thanks. Obviously, you know I was ill so this makes this a whole lot easier which is really nice. How weird is this as well? I saw Millie and Callum. Yeah, yeah. About four weeks ago. The same night I saw you. Yeah. And they were like, do you know who you'd really suit? You should get older, Pat. It's such a small world. Small world. What are the chances? Like, of all the people that apply and to be the same, no chance. It's wicked, though. Like, I'm buzzing. It's so good. Yeah, we'll have a good big one. I believe in fate. I believe that things happen for a reason. You believe in serendipity? This is brilliant. I just think no one fancies me. You look radiant. Do I? Yeah, you don't look like... Like me again? You've been ill. You paying me compliments? I'm paying you compliments. Right. Be back in a sec. Bye, babes. I'm the friendzone girl. I meet guys and I fancy them and they say, oh, no, I couldn't possibly date you because you're my friend. Fred. Lauren. How's he going? I've always thought he's a really good-looking guy. Yeah? Yeah. I just don't know if he feels the same. I'm quite nervous about that. Would you like to kiss him? Maybe. Bonjour, ma. Hello. Hello, how are you? Bonjour, ma. Also checking in for her date. Hello. Nice to see you. Single mum and secondary school science technician, Esther. I'm really nerdy. Don't get me started on group one metals. They're like my best friend. I've never, ever been anywhere like this. It's very romantic, I think. It's romantic. I feel a bit embarrassed because I've been single for, like, eight years. I go out with my daughter and then I go out with my friends and then I go down the pub. It's like, where is this person going to come from? I'm going to hold out for it. It's going to happen. That romantic, lovely love. I think that's why I need help to, like, look outside the box, really. You arrive at the first date hotel now. Exactly. This is it, I can feel it in my blood. I don't really have a type. It's much more than the physical that is important, isn't it? It's about whether you kind of click. But, um, I do like a nice smile. Says a thousand things, doesn't it? Hello. Hi. The person I think I'd be looking for, definitely, I know it's a bit of a cliche, but definitely kind. Just oozing kindness. Kindness with a beard would be good. Come on, we're in Italy. Hiya. And the other side, apparently. Really good. Good, good. Amazing. Sorry, I didn't catch your name. Sorry, Esther. Have you been in? No, I haven't. Will you put your toes in? I could do that, couldn't I? Shall we? Go on, let's see. It looks so pretty. I just don't think you can put your finger on what it is that makes two people have that spark, otherwise we'd all be matched up, wouldn't we? So, where are you from? I'm from London. Excuse my accent. Which part are you from? South East. OK. What about you? I live on a boat. I'd love to live on a boat. The bit that sold it to me was, there's a double bed set into the bows with steps up on either side. So, I'm looking for somebody to share my bed with me. Oh, no, what am I saying? So, what led you to life on a boat? For 25 years, I was a vicar, and so I always lived in vicarages. Then I met a bloke who made it impossible to pretend to be straight anymore. I, um... So, hang on. So, I thought this was our day. No, I don't think so. Something's gone wrong with the system, if it is. I'm quite disappointed, because I really like you. Well, I'm sorry about that. Not what I'm after.
