First Dates Ireland returned to television screens last night with eight singles hoping to find love in the restaurant. The show featured a heartwarming moment with the program's oldest couple ever, 86-year-old Stan from Waterford and returning dater, 80-year-old Lorraine from Offaly. The pair immediately clicked and have been enjoying a holiday together since filming wrapped. However, viewers were left puzzled at the start of the episode with a seemingly misleading edit.
The first person to enter the restaurant was 23-year-old Ellis from Meath, who admitted during his interview that he doesn't have a specific type when it comes to women, mentioning Carol Burnett and Lucille Ball as some of his crushes. Then, the show cut to Lorraine walking into the restaurant, leading viewers to believe for a moment that she would be paired with Ellis. This unexpected edit sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with some viewers criticizing the show for trying to manipulate the audience, while others praised it as a clever tactic to create intrigue.In the end, Lorraine was paired with Stan, while Ellis went on a date with Dearbhla from Galway. Their conversation touched on Dearbhla's journey to sobriety, which she shared openly with Ellis. She explained how alcohol had taken control of her life, leading to negative actions and consequences. Meanwhile, Laura from Tipperary enjoyed a deep conversation with surfer and lifeguard Stephen from Cork, and accounts clerk Katrina from Tallaght was paired with musician Fingerz from Knocklyon.
