First Dates

The new run continues. Miss Essex 2016/17 visits the restaurant: Emily, a 24-year-old HR officer wants to meet someone who doesn't just see her as a trophy girlfriend. Her date is handsome 27-year-old plumber Billy, who hopes there won't be any spanners in the works as he takes the plunge into dating. Telecoms analyst Ketan has high functioning autism, which he says has killed his dating life, so he's been reluctant to reveal it to any potential partner. He meets flame-haired Brodie, who's looking for a man with quirks. Is she the woman to change his dating fortunes or will his bad jokes be his downfall? Smooth-talking 62-year-old voiceover artist Nick is ready to begin dating again after his fiancée passed away two weeks before their wedding day. His date is 52-year-old golfer Laura, who's looking for someone with charm, sophistication and a great swing. Nick's a novice on the fairway, but can his dulcet tones talk him into a second date? And 22-year-old Jordan, a boxer for Team GB, meets 23-year-old Thai boxer Chloe. Will they have a knock-out date?
