Spidermen, Instagram Crushes And Old Fashioned Romance! Top Celeb Crushes | First Dates Hotel

Hi, can I grab a safety pin off you guys, please? Looking for her stallion. All right, thank you so much. This 25-year-old equestrian... Oh! ...Alice. People call men stallion, or studs. What's a stud, Alice? A stud. Yeah. A stud's like a horse that, like, just goes round. I don't particularly think I'm after that. I do live in a beautiful place. It's a small holding, so we've got a couple of acres up the back. Sheep, chickens, horses. Hi! Come on in. Oh, it's a beautiful dress. It's just a bit big, like, round here. Quite booby, isn't it? So, this is Emily. She was my first ever pony. Right, let's think. How booby do we want? Obviously, Emily is a great companion. She'll always be there, but it's probably good to move on to finding a guy that's just as loyal and as fun as her. That looks perfect. That looks better, doesn't it, than it did before? She wants something, don't you? Yeah, I want, like, a little something. I am literally Bridget Jones. I just find myself in those situations where it's either super tragic or super funny. I'm always sort of unlucky with everything. Going to Italy is probably a long way to be going for a date, but that probably reflects my awful love life at the minute. For me, if a guy's funny, kind, caring, that's all I care about. Obviously, it'd be great if they were handsome. That would not be brushed aside at all, but beggars can't be choosers. Hello. How are you, Alice? I'm good. How are you? You look so pretty. Thank you so much. Oh, my gosh. You ready? Yes, I'm ready. Come with me. Hi. Hello. Hi, lovely to meet you. I'm Nick. I'm Alice. Nice to meet you. How's it all going? Yeah, not too bad. I mean, we're in Italy, so... I know. It's so exciting. So, where are you from? At the moment, I'm living just outside of Loughborough. Okay. I'm currently running a family butcher shop. Oh, cool. What about you? What do you do? Oh, so I work for an alcohol company. Nice. So, it's like a premium Alpine spirit. So, you spend winters in the French Alps and then you spend the summers in the UK, so... That's dreamy. So, you get to go skiing, then? Yes, so I did two seasons skiing. I lived in Tyne this year. It's a seriously cool place. It's a nice ski, yeah. Great ski. That was the first proper off-piste thing I've ever done. I spent most of it on my face. Everyone just couldn't believe how resistant I was. Just head first, straight in it, pow. That's the best way to be, though. Just stab around from a ski, find it, put it on, and off we go. Shall I dig you through? Yes, please. Thank you so much. I really enjoy my job. I've got amazing friends, and I feel like I'm at a really good place. When your life is quite complete, it's nice to have somebody that just shares the same likes as me and gets on with all my friends, and I can go out and have fun with. Do you have any floor notes coming through? It's definitely white. That's lovely. Thank you. What's your favorite drink? Do you like wine? I like everything. I love white wine, I love red wine. I love gin. Love gin. I love a pint. I love lager, I love ale. I can appreciate that. I like rum. Rum? Good rum I can drink neat. I can happily do a few shots of tequila. I'll tell you what I'm quite partial to, is if we're getting hammered for a night out to go to Young Farmers, is a turbo shandy. I love turbo shandies. Do you still go to Young Farmers now? Oh, my God, Ches, do you still go to Young Farmers at the age of 25? Young Farmers for life. Love that. Amazing, Chef. Bravo. Fantastic. Look, we've done this especially for you. It's a porchetta. It's a classic dish from the region. We know you like your meat. Are you kidding me, Fred? No, it's just for you. So we're going to take it back to the kitchen, we're going to cut it there, and we're going to bring it back to you. Oh, my God, that's amazing! Shut the front door. So how old are you, if you don't mind me asking? 25. Have you been single for a long time, then? Just over a year, I suppose, yeah. Yeah. What about you? Just over two and a half years. It's been a while. It's been a while, yeah. I'm the only single one out of all of my friends, and that can sometimes be a great thing, yeah. I'm a great third wheel, though. Great third wheel, I can deal with that. Why do you think, out of all of your friends, you're the one who's single? I don't know why. There's probably something that's really wrong with me. I probably give off the impression that I'm happy and we don't need anybody. Maybe. All of my friends are coupled up and getting married and having children. It's just a lot to take in. Dating can be quite a scary thing, and I think I've massively shied away from it, because there's nothing worse than being shut down by a guy. I'm just unlucky with guys, I think. Yeah, it's quite similar to Bridget Jones. You wouldn't have got this if you hadn't met a butcher, would you? I know! Actually, you can test me. Is that belly? Yes. Spot on. Look at me, being all butchery. Is beef your favourite? Absolutely, yeah. Me too! But belly pork is so close. It's so yummy. What's your favourite steak? I like a T-bone. I think anything from the bone is yum. Guys, to accompany your pork, I have your... Oh, my God. ...wowsers. Holy cheesecake. That's so yummy. I've got so much food. What are we going to do? I'm full as a bull. Oh, fat as a pig. Hello. Everything OK? Yes, I think I can do for you. No, I'm OK, darling. You look beautiful. Well, I thought this might be too flashy. No, why? For an older lady. Oh, you are like a celebrity. I've been single 35 years. Help you. But now I'm getting older, I need someone who will be there for me. I'm excited about the day. I can't wait to go. OK. I also need someone to share my travelling. Thank you, darling. Someone to sit opposite me, who I could have those conversations with, instead of just chatting to the waiter. You know what I'm saying? Big breath. OK. So, you can take a seat, Marilyn. Look at that, you get chaperoned all the way. How lovely. Yes. You look like you're used to being chaperoned around. She's like a soldier. There's a mark of a lady who's lived a fine life. You'll have to tell me about it. Can I get you a drink first? Yes, I'd like a vodka, please. OK. Now, a large or a small vodka? I've got a bit of nerves, you know. There we go. So, yes, you've been before. The first time I came to Italy, I came to Portofino. And dropped anchor just outside the harbour and came in by a little boat. Wow. It was a very international jet set lifestyle. Go on, throw me some names, anyone I might know. I was once taken out for dinner up in the mountains in Spain by Jimmy Tarbuck and Sean Connery. Sean Connery? They were playing golf in Marlborough. Oh, brilliant. I'll tell you what I would like, having met him myself, like an old Sean Connery. But that would be too much to ask, wouldn't it? I'm not going to get James Bond, am I, darling? You look very well, darling. I think you look better than me for your age. Do you know how old I am? No. Come on, tell me. I was 70 in September. Well, darling, you're a toy boy. Really? In October, I was 76. I don't think age is the problem. If you've got the right personality and you're physically able to do the things you still enjoyed to do many years ago... Why don't I swing from the chandeliers any more? No, I did that one. It's painful in the morning. No. That looks lovely. Oh, yes, very nice. I don't actually own my own boat, but I like to sail. Oh, my goodness, darling. My husband, he was a ship's captain and he taught me everything. I'm a navigator. I lost my wife about six and a bit years ago now. We used to go to Croatia and sail. But at the time, she was going down gradually with the illness. What was wrong with her? She had breast cancer and everything. Horrendous few years, that was. And I became the carer. Oh, that must be dreadful. Not easy. I think back now, I don't know how I did what I did, but I did. When you see somebody that you love who's changing on a daily basis, you look and think, things are not going well. We were married just shy of 40 years. She passed away in the house and everything. That was it. I'm sure you had some wonderful times. Yeah, we did. And when you lose that, it's quite hard. She was a very classy, smart lady, you know. Is she the love of your life? She was, yeah. So I haven't worked physically properly for a long time. But, darling, that is a bigger job in itself than anything. My father died and then my mother got cancer, like your wife. The same thing, unfortunately. And now, unfortunately, I'm over taking care of someone else in the family. Right. It's a bit difficult. Oh, dear, Jamie, he's getting really poorly. But having done it with my father, I know what to expect. I hate where I live because I'm landlocked. So did you go there because of the fact of family then? Yeah, I wanted to be where I could just go back and... Yeah. I wish I was a bit free to do other things. But to care for somebody is a wonderful thing. And then at the end of the day, you know you've done the best you can. And that's all anybody can ask of anyone, isn't it? You go through these times... You have to come out the other end. You've got to say, well, you know, it's me time now and I've got to have a life and start that again. I've had some adventures, but I expect some of you. What have you been doing with your life? Yes, I do many things. I'm a musician. Oh, really? What do you play? I play trumpet. I can dance. I'm a great dancer. No, I'm not, you see. Well, you can play the trumpet, and I'll do the dancing. How's that? It's a good compromise, yes. I feel that I connect with the more tragic operas because my love life is tragic. It speaks to me on a different level. I would love to be courted like back in the 1950s, basically, when everyone had really wonderful manners. It's nice when someone actually wants to work for your attention. It is very romantic. I want to find someone like my dad, the quintessential English gentleman. Loyal, compassionate, kind. Someone who wears suits and feels comfortable wearing a suit. Quirky, different, out there. Have you ever been to Italy before? I was here only about three weeks ago. Fell in love with the place. But my Italian is very limited. I can do the simple stuff, like, sono l'antiquario, which is either I'm an antique sealer or I'm an antique. I'm an antique! So, tell me about your love life. Women, it's always an unmitigated disaster. Have you had a relationship? No. So, you've never been heartbroken, then? Oh, God, yeah. It hurts at the time. And it hurts when you look back on it. I understand. I mean, I've been hurt many times. I met someone in America who I really fell for. We actually went on a massive road trip together. And it was really romantic. Probably one of the most romantic times of my life. I ended up sort of staying with him for about three months or so while I was there. For him, it obviously didn't really mean anything, whereas for me, it really meant something. And it just all ended in tears. Love, it's a difficult thing always. You can't pin it down. You're never sure when it arrives or when it goes. And it's sort of... It's like the tides. He's, like, found someone else and is really happy. But... ..no-one has come close since. It made me find it hard to trust and made me think, well, is everyone just going to kind of do that? But I'm in a better place with that now. Aw. Yeah. Not nice. But if you can pick yourself up and carry on going and know that there is something out there for you, then... If you could lose it all and then rebuild yourself from nothing. That's the way you do it. That's the way you do everything. Oh, definitely. So, do you think... Do you like red? Is red how you dress normally? Oh, red, the colour? Yeah. I thought you meant red wine. I do like red because I'm very fair-skinned, white hair. Well, blonde, white hair, whatever you want to call it. Gold. Gold. Spun gold is a fine term. This is 27-year-old Jamie. A salesman eyeing up the market for the perfect partner. Up until recently, I was going on three or four dates a week. Whoa. Cos I haven't found the right one yet, so I'm always talking to multiple women. That might be where I'm going wrong. Girls think I'm a player. I've been called that plenty of times. What are you going to get in there, then? I'm just a chatty, talkative person. Get in and you get called a player for being who you are. I'm Helen, by the way. Hello, Jamie. Nice to meet you. Have you got yourself a drink? I've already had a glass of fizz. Oh, yeah, yeah. I kind of think I ought to stay sober for a while. What do you do for work, then? I'm a teacher. Nice. Yeah. What do you do? I sell stuff. Yeah. Good job. All known as telecom sales, which earns decent money. Five years ago, I just didn't take life too serious. But at the moment, I'm at a good place. Buying a house now, a three-bed house. Oh, really? Wow. Well done. That's amazing. Yeah, thanks. I just keep chasing the dream. But once again, it comes back to that thing where you want to share it with someone. You can't share it with someone, and what's the point? So you ideally want to go at somebody your kind of age? I've always gone for older women, if I'm honest. Older? Yeah, just find them more relatable, you know. Yeah. Do you know what time your date is? Three, I think. Yeah, mine's about half three. Oh, is it? I figured this is it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've gone for dark beaches, look. It's sorted, ain't it? How old do you think? 27. Second year, bang on, yeah. Oh, my God. That's it, that chap always goes... Go on, guess mine. 41. I'm done. I'm joking. So where do you go out, then? Like, invite them? I can't really go out much anymore, if I'm honest. I've just been a party animal. You're like ten minutes up, down. Yeah. And obviously, I started going... You started doing it for good, like, yeah? The thing is, I was calling Finn in, which, you know, you look back now and you just get a little boy slap. The thing was, a lot of the time was the weekends where I didn't sleep and stuff, that it turned my mind to mush. I was probably doing 400 quid's worth of coke a week at least, I reckon. I just felt like a gangster. How sad does that sound? Like, you know, I thought I was Dom Pérignon, you know? I thought I was the best of the best. I've got epilepsy. So that was brought on by my party. What? Go out on a night with the lads and, sure enough, do some recreational stuff and I'll have a seizure, wake up around me, paramedics around me. Yeah, I didn't know what's just gone on and it happened seven different times. Yeah, but how bad did it get? Like, are you saying that... Well, I died twice. I wasn't breathing that well. I was stuffed. Like, bad. Apparently, I had an aggressive seizure for like eight and a half minutes. My heart stopped twice. What did the doctor say to you? Stop or carry on or die. Stop or die. Up to you. Would you say yourself that you were formed? 100%. Bad boy turned good, as they say. 100%. Is that what you think? Yeah, I know. Chinned up for my mates, smashed work. That gave me motivation to do better and better myself. Saved up mortgage and then I'm going to buy a toilet in a couple of years' time. But I'd never touch anything again, ever. And I think these things that happen with all my past experiences, it just makes me a stronger person. Is he with you right now? Yeah, with my dog. Show me a picture of White now. Is it him? He's Chase. Chase? He's a Jack Russell Chihuahua. He's so gorgeous, isn't he? I love him. I love him so much. You're like, are you loving him? Are you soft to him? Oh, yeah, massive. Cabbage cream egg, hard on the outside, soft on the inside. That's the perfect description. Yeah. I'm a modern-day Tarzan. Really? I can climb a tree absolutely rapid. Techniques, you have to pull and thrust. Pull and then you thrust upwards. Pull up, right, and go, bong. That's it, yeah. You all right, Mum? You got any last-minute advice for me? Just be your normal, beautiful self. Aw. And anybody would be really lucky to be going on a date with you. Oh, cheers. Yeah, you've got to say that. I'm your son, aren't I? You know what, though, Jack? You've been through hell and back and you've said you wanted to meet somebody and you never know. Things happen for a reason, don't they? Aw, top girl you are, aren't you? I love you, Mum. You look lovely. Do you feel nervous? From, like, sort of 16, didn't really know where my life was going. Sort of went off the rails a little bit. But that's not me anymore. Hello, you all right? I'd like to find someone real, someone I can have a family with. A genuine person, someone who likes a good time, but also just sit there with no makeup and enjoy each other's company. I'm ready to settle down, you know? My next sort of relationship, that is the person I would like to spend the rest of my life with. How about you? I'm very well, thank you. Yeah, come with me. Lovely, cheers. What I'd like in a woman, you know? Like, tan skin, almost, like, sort of, like, Latino-y, like, sort of cute, happy, ditzy. Oh, my God. Family with a girl would be ideal, definitely. You've got to take them home to your mum, haven't you, at the end of the day? So it's got to be... It's got to be someone nice like that. Hi, how are you? Yeah, good, you? Nice to see you, you look lovely. Thank you, thank you very much. Thank you. Blue goes in your eyeballs. I'm cheering for that. How are you? You OK? Yeah, I'm good, yeah. You had a good day, yeah? Yeah, yeah, lovely. We met at the pool. I thought I saw you earlier. Yeah, you did. Oh, is that? Where are you staying? I'm staying... Yeah, take note of that. You get it? No way! I'm staying in Venus. Where's that? And you're staying in VersaVa for us. So, how old are you, then? I'm 24. How old are you, then? I'm 24. I'm 25. 25, nice. A little bit older. What do you do for a living? I'm a tree surgeon. I've been a tree... What did you just say? I'm a tree surgeon. What does that mean? So, you know, like a doctor surgeon. But for trees? Yeah, save your lives. Do you know what? Good for you. That's really touched me, that. Oh, is it? I can't get over your eyes. I'm really sorry. They're really piercing blue. You are beautiful. Oh, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Right, I've got a few questions that my mum wanted to ask you. Come on, then. Let's have it. Let's go. Right, do you like animals? I love animals, yeah. What animals? Do you know what? I've always had a weird fascination, yeah, with, like, great white sharks. Right, honestly, I'm petrified, but I love them. Like, I proper love them. What? My mum would love you. Appreciate it. My mum's got an obsession with sharks. I took her swimming with sharks at the London Aquarium. It's family important to you, is it? It is so important. And I absolutely love my mum. That's important, isn't it? And do you know what? My mum's obviously the main lady in my life, you know. Oh, no, that's so nice to hear. It's so nice. I honestly find it is so hard to find a man that gets on well with his family. Yeah, no, honestly, family's, like I say, family's massively important to me. So, do you live on your own or at home? So, I did live on my own. I had a house in Colchester, 2017. I've got a... I had blood cancer. Yeah, so... Oh, my God, no way. Yeah, so, before that, I felt so fit and stuff like that. And I found a little lump underneath my armpit, and I thought, what's that? It's turned out to be stage three advanced, right, which is, like, quite a late stage. I could just feel in my body that something wasn't right. Never in a million, million years did I ever, ever, ever dream it would be cancer. And it turned out to be Hodgkin's lymphoma. If it was any other type of cancer, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you now. Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that. Don't worry about that. It's life, isn't it? It happens, doesn't it? Yeah, I got through it. I didn't want to mention it. It's a bit of a dampening thing. No, don't put a dampener on it. Well done, you. So, cheers to you and health. Thank you. Oh, how lovely is that? This is well romantic, isn't it? That's nice, eh? Yeah, it's lovely. Oh! Oi, oi. I'm staying here tonight. So, what's your mum like, then, as a person? You know what, right? When I got told about my cancer and that, I thought to myself, right, I didn't want to tell any of my family apart from my mum. And the days where I couldn't feed myself, I didn't want to eat, my mum stayed strong for me for the whole time. I got told over the phone. So, I looked at my mum and her face just dropped. Everything inside me just sunk. The emotion of just, like, darkness. Literally, you think, ----, this is it. I said to them, I said, look, am I going to die? They went, well, we can't promise you anything. How did you get over that, though? Was that just chemo or...? Yeah, I had six months of, like, proper intensive chemo, yeah. Do you know what? There's no feeling in the world that describes the pain of that. My mum was brilliant throughout. She never inquired once to me. I didn't inquire once to her. Time stops, but you're in a bubble. She didn't leave my side for six months. Six months, didn't leave my side. He's upset. I won't talk about it. I'm sorry, cos you've been through it, not me. No, come here, listen, if it's going to make you sad, I won't talk about it, honestly. I won't talk about it. I never feel like that, no, never, do you know what I mean? I'm so glad that you was the person to overcome that, you know? Come on, you make me cry. No, don't be silly! I've been all clear for one year now, which is an amazing, amazing feeling. Now I wake up every day and I look at life differently. I love life now. I love it. It's a blessing. Grab everything by the balls. No matter what, whether it's Fred grabbing by the balls. Cheers. Cheers, girls, cheers. Mum's FaceTime-ing. Oh, no. Hello. This is Jack. How you doing, you all right? I've got something big to tell you. Oh, God. I'm obsessed with sharks. I love you, cos I love sharks. Honestly, great whites, especially, like, I'm fascinated, since literally the moment I can remember. This is why I said you would get on. Sorry, I'm dating your mum. Don't you dare! Leaping headfirst into his quest for love, Northern lad Richard. Being someone who's quite just active and acrobatic, I've always been drawn to Spider-Man, cos everyone's always like, you're skinny. It's like, I'm not skinny, I'm lean. How you doing? Lewis, where you from? Preston. Oh, yeah. What about you? Originally Blackpool. Really? Yeah, but I've moved to Manchester now. What do you do back at home? Most of my work is based around superheroes. So it's making superhero suits. I think I have a good kind of, like, adult mentality, but then I've still got the inner child. You're like a Lancashire's local superhero, really, aren't you? It's like I've fallen out of a film. The kind of person I'm looking for, I'd love it if they liked what I like. Right. I've dipped my toes in the water quite a bit and dated, but I'm looking to meet someone for something more meaningful and definitely something more long-term. Richard, how are you? Hello. Not too bad, thank you. Someone who's like thunder to my lightning. We're going to introduce you to your Wonder Woman. Oh, yeah. I can't wait. There you are. Thank you, CC. CC, we'll look after you. See you later. How are you? Not too bad. Just trying to breathe. Just remembering to breathe. Do you want a drink? Do you have a dark rum or a spice rum? Yeah. So, what brings you here? I'd like to think, if I could go on my last first date, that would be amazing. Got it. Okay. What's your type? It'd be nice to have someone that kind of mirrors me and matches me. Someone that's a little bit geeky. Get lost in arguing how Superman would lose a fight to Iron Man, and I love it. I could talk about it for one and a half days. Oh, thank you. You're welcome. Thank you very much. Can I get you anything else? Um... That bib would be brilliant. Bib, yeah. Thank you. Cheers. How long have you been single for? Um, I'd say, like, a year. Last relationship was, like, seven years. Oh, wow. That is a long time. Yeah. So, from being 18, 19, it was, like, a quarter of my life. So, boy, I'm invested in this. This is something that's going to be my prolonged kind of future. And then it started to collapse. So, I broke up with my long-term girlfriend last year. It was a nightmare. I was distraught. My ex, he moved on, like, pretty quickly after that. Yeah, so, mine did, within, like, a week. Whenever anything comes into my life and hits me in a weird kind of way, I look at it and I'm like, right, how am I going to get round this? I'm a problem solver, I'm a creative person. So, yeah, I had to move on. I got full custody of the cat. I'm, like, crying to the cat, like, she's gone. She's not coming back. Cat's looking at me, like, what do you mean? I'm like, this is me and you. So, let's go. Back on the horse. Yeah. Trying to learn again. So, yeah, that's why I'm here. So, what's the last costume that you made? I make a bunch of Spider-Man stuff. Oh, Spider-Man's my fave. Good, good choice. Have you bought your costume? I've got my mask. No, you haven't. I am not wearing a mask. You're not wearing a mask? No, absolutely not. Yeah, on a date, I'm not just going to rock up. I wish you had done. I would have thought it was the best thing ever. Can you show me it later, please? Possibly, yeah. No stranger to the limelight is James's date. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 30-year-old James, a touring actor keen to find his leading man. I'm bored of being with people in the theatre world. We call it, like, pantomance and tourmance. Beep, beep. Hello? Hi, Mum. How are you? I'm good. I'm about to do it. Dating, auditions, the same kind of thing. And I think I'm always self-reviewing myself, self-evaluating myself. Just don't drink, because if you're nervous, it'll go straight to your head. Did I look at him strange, or did he fancy me? Being in an audition, you're very vulnerable, and I think dating is vulnerable. Oh. Forgot to turn the light off. My type, tall, handsome, blue eyes. I like a blonde, tanned boy who looks like a surfer from Australia. Hi. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. How's it going? Yeah, I'm good, thank you. How are you? Yeah, very good, thank you. Good. Hi. There we go. You're James. How are you? Nice to meet you. So, Jamie, yeah? Yeah, yeah. This is really strange. That is weird, isn't it? So, what do you do? What's your thing? For the last seven years, I've been a chef at Wimbledon Tennis Club. Nice. Yeah, what about you? I am an actor. I'm currently in Joseph and his amazing technicolor dream cake. That's really cool. Yeah, it's really fun. I can sing all the songs. I'm just going to take this off. Oh, mate. Just the blazer, yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, who are you in Joseph? I'm cover Joseph. Are you actually? That's insane. Voice, cover, never the part, so... Not yet. Shove it up. Ah! Cheers. Cheers. Really nice to meet you. I'm really glad that it's a nice person. Could I have the pork, please? Of course. Should we share? Yeah, sounds like a plan. Excellent. Thank you. Do you date a lot? I just seem to... Like, I would never meet someone like you in a normal world because I just seem to meet actors. That must be tricky. And I bet, is it quite like an incestuous kind of world? Yeah. Everyone kind of knows each other and... My love life normally is, thank you, next, I would say. I do meet men in the theatre world. You have to be with them and you sleep with them and then you wake up the next day and you have to go in and do the Macarena or whatever you're doing and be like, ugh, this is awkward. I don't want that. I want a connection because being intimate with someone means nothing when you don't love them. I want someone to love me for me and who I am. What about you? I've never been in a relationship. You've never been in a relationship? I think I'm quite picky. Oh, OK. And I've just never found someone that I kind of want to... Put my time into? Yeah. When you've got such limited free time to dedicate to your family and to your friends who are really, really important to me. But, yeah, I want a relationship, but I just haven't found the right kind of guy. Well, yeah. But, yeah. Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed. Who knows? Who knows? Oh, wow. Thank you. Wow. Do you have any sort of, like, mayonnaise or anything? Yeah, of course. That would be wonderful. Good call. I love mayonnaise. To be honest, I just love a condiment. I love a condiment. Like a chutney, a relish. Oh, my God. A mayo. Stop it. An aioli. Oh, my God. Hi. Thank you for coming. Katie. Nice to meet you. So, are you looking forward to your date? Yeah, yeah. I'm hoping to find my very own Peter Parker. I'm not actually going to much. I don't think anyone knows what she wants. Flying to the rescue. Richard's date, Katie. Hi, guys. Am I really nervous now? I like to say that I'm, like, 50% basic bitch and then 50% just sitting in my room gaming for ten hours straight. I'm just a bit like... Like, I hope, like, they don't think, like, I'm just a massive weirdo. I tend to go on online dates because I'm not going to meet anyone sitting in my room gaming, really, unless it's the Deliveroo driver, but that's not happened yet, either. Maybe it's the perfect cosplaying, Jim going... That would be so good, wouldn't it? We could do, like, a massive, like, online story mode gaming sesh. Although I am a massive nerd, I'm also, like, quite into, like, my fitness and all that kind of stuff, so it's hard to find, like, a fit nerd. Ooh. Right, let's go. A fit geek is all I ask for. Hello, Katie. Hiya, you OK? Wow, you do look like Wonder Woman. Oh, do you think? Come with me. Hello, Katie. Katie, lovely to meet you. Lovely to meet you. Sorry, you repeated it to yourself. Both sides. Grab a seat. How are you? I'm good, thanks. How are you? Good, excited, nervous. Yeah, I'm a bit nervous as well, yeah. Where are you from? I'm from Preston, so... Oh, yeah, that's great. My family live in Lancaster, originally. Oh, OK, not far then, like, yeah. What is it that you do? So, for a job, I basically make, like, superhero suits and... No way, really? Like, pop culture kind of, like, yeah. That's so cool. Do you, like, cosplay? Yeah, so I do this due to you. Good. Oh, there we go, so you understand the struggle. You get it. What do you do? I'm cabin crew. Cabin crew? Yeah, I only do long-haul flights. Where have you been recently, then? I just did a New York. What would be, like, your number one destination to go to? Oh, I don't know if I could pick just one. Do you want me to say mine first? Yeah, you first, you first. New Zealand. New Zealand? Yeah, what do you think? I'd say it's... cos Lord of the Rings was filmed there. Seriously. I really want to see the Hobbit houses so badly. See, everyone's like, you're a massive geek, but I'm like, OK, I want to do the walk from, like, obviously, the Cheyenne to, like, Lord of the Rings. Yeah. And I'd wear a cape, like, you know. All the way? Yeah. Like, run dramatically through the scenery. So low it's badly met, yeah? Yeah, yeah. Honestly. I worked for B8 and I always put on a posh voice cos I felt like an angel. Go on, do your posh voice. Good afternoon and welcome on board this flight to Naples. Before you make yourself comfortable, please make sure that all your hand baggage is safely put away. And then I'd come out and be like, hiya! Be like, do you like going to Hyde? Do you find it hard, like, just to have, like, a meaningful kind of connection with you, like, moving about and kind of, like, flying different places? Yeah, yeah. A lot of people don't really understand it because I can be away for, like, a week or I can be away for, like, just two days. It just depends, but I'm not... I'm not a nine-to-five person. Yeah. What I've found hard about dating is trying to find someone that you're going to get that connection with. A lot of times it tends to fizzle out because of my job. My ex, we were in a relationship for, like, four years. I worked as a waitress and he was the bar manager and so naturally, you know, we eventually, like, go out for drinks after work. We decided that we'd move to Brighton. And we didn't have anyone else there. It was just... just the two of us, so... You start to pick on, like, the little things so good. Exactly, exactly. That's what happened, yeah. We just... Like, the things that, like, you used to love, like, you're just like, oh, that's so annoying. Ooh, thank you. You're welcome. This has been lovely. Yeah. You've got an amazing personality and you're beautiful, so... Oh, thanks. You have lovely eyes. I'm not even going to lie. Looking to be taken off the market. 26-year-old estate agent, Georgia. I like to put effort into my appearance, with my job as well, cos I'm people-facing all the time. I can't look like I've just been dragged through a bush backwards. Hello. Tanning regime is every night. I like to stay brown all the time, but I don't like sunburns. You tan every night? Yeah. Doesn't fake tan smell a bit funny? Fake tan does smell a bit funny. Um... And sometimes people might say that you smell like a biscuit. What kind of biscuit do you smell like? Like a digestive. You all right? Oh, God! Hey. You! Do you know what? I'm so glad you're here. What? I can't believe you're here. This is mad! Hey, hi. Hello. You already know each other, or...? Yeah. Really? No way. How come you know each other? So we know each other from, like, mutual friends and Instagram and... Like, we know people that know each other. This is the thing, we've never met. This is the first time that we've actually met in person. You have, like, friends in common? Yes, it is. We've never met. So you've never met each other? Until just now. Yeah. I didn't realise that, actually. Yeah. How weird. Can I just get you anything to drink? Yeah, like a large... Just get us a bottle and two straws. I'm just going to trust you. Thanks. His eyes are amazing, aren't they? Not a lot of people know, but I've been with girls, I've been with men. Shall I dip my toe? Dip your toe in? Shall I? Go on. I had a girlfriend for six years. We were, like, best friends. It was amazing. After that, I thought, well, I must be a lesbian then. You look so glam. A bit cold. You look amazing. Oh, thank you. But then I've been in relationships with women since, I've been in relationships with men, but there's never that spark. I'm looking for... I want the spark. I always thought by the time I was 30, I'd be married with kids. 100%. Yeah, same. I haven't totally ruled out women, but I am more attracted to men, and I see myself in the future with a husband and kids and a nice little dog or something. You're actually, like, more beautiful in person, you know? Aww. No, you are. Thank you. I'm not coming on to you, but you are. I'm not coming on to you. If I don't like my date, let's go out. Yeah, we'll sack them off. Cheers. Nice. I just can't believe you're here with me. We're here together. It's like we're on a holiday together. I love it. I know we've not met, but shall we go to Italy together? Oh, yeah, great idea. See you there, mate. Oh, my beautiful eyes. Can you let me know when I'm, like, not in? The girls are in. Don't worry. I'll tell you when the girls are out. I had a crush on you. Did you? I did, yeah. I have always been attracted to women, and I think after a few fair relationships with men, I just had this mentality. So I basically did what the hell I liked and one of those things was sleep with a woman, so... And it was great. Interesting. I'm just wondering if you could tell me about... There's someone here that I know. A girl. I was by the pool. I sat next to this girl and I suddenly realised who it was, and it's someone that I fancy. Oh, God. I know. I know. So, basically, that's what I said. But the thing is, we've both said the same thing in that we both find women attractive, but we want to be with a man. How are you? You are so effortlessly beautiful. Oh, that's so nice. Thank you. Are you ready for your date? I'm so ready. I'm so excited. Come with me. Take a seat. Thank you very much. Would you like a drink? Can I have a Prosecco? Yes. Thank you. I came out here and I sat by the pool today and this girl walked over and sat next to me and I took my sunglasses off and I was like, oh, my God, you're my favourite. Like, I know her from Leicester. Oh, really? Yeah. OK, right. You're going all guns blazing. How are you? Very well. You OK? Good to see you. Nice to meet you. Enjoying a moment of calm before his blind date, his international sales executive, Othello. You were lounging by the pool, my man. I am, yes. In my office, you could consider me top dog. I am the best salesperson there, but in regards to the dating world, I'm a bit like Arsenal. I was up here and I was gradually just kind of... I got to about here and now I'm trying to break through again, but I just can't seem to do it. What are your expectations? Physique-wise, being small frame myself, I like the girl to be petite frame. Yeah? So how tall are you? I'm 5'7". So, like... So I'm about your shoulders, yeah. Yeah? So, like, yeah. I don't want to have to stand on yellow pages to give a girl a kiss, you know? It's a bit depressing. If I want the top gun scene, I want to be the one with the hat and lifting her as opposed to her leaning on me. I'm the first to admit that I sometimes show up on a date and don't know where the line is, so I'd like to find a girl who could reel me back a little bit. For she had eyes and chose me. Ah. I don't know the saying. I'm sorry. Are you looking for your testimonial? Ah, it's a quote from Othello. I am looking for my testimonial, but it will not end the same way. This one will end happily. Come with me. Thank you so much. We'll get you a drink. Enjoy, Othello. Thank you very much. Thank you, Fred. How are you doing? Lovely to meet you. Othello. Othello? Tremendous name, man. Mum deserves the credit, to be fair. What kind of girl are you after? One that likes me. Othello's date is removal coordinator, Juliet. If I had a pound for every time somebody said to me, where's Romeo? Romeo and Juliet was always one of my favourite films. I think they put it out in theatre as well. I would really love to go and see that. There's so many things that I want to do, I just have no one to do it with. It's so annoying. Guys only see the outside appearance. It's one thing to have a guy that likes you when you've got makeup on and you're dressed up, but I want someone that's going to be happy on a Sunday night, sitting in their jogging bottoms with a little bit of ketchup on it. That will actually love me for who I actually am. 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. That's 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. 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. When you're in school, you'll be called John. So, we're both Shakespeare plays? 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, sorry? 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. 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... Okay. ..I sell the square metre for that person or that business. So, you sell, like, space? That's exactly what I sell.
