First Dates - Series 6

Series 4

The tables are set and the drinks are on ice as the First Dates restaurant prepares to welcome a new batch of single people looking for romance. The unique restaurant in which every diner is on a real blind date is throwing open its doors once more.

A record 16,000 applicants from around the UK have come forward since the last series, many of whom have turned their backs on online dating, in the hope of meeting someone special face-to-face. The hopeful daters have been paired by First Dates’ team of matchmakers based on their likes and dislikes, and will meet their potential love match for the very first time in the restaurant.

This series will bring more dates, more flirting, more laughter and potentially more successes than ever before. Returning to ensure the restaurant is ready for affection to bloom is charismatic maître d’ Fred and his team, including barman Merlin and waitress CiCi.

For some pairings, it’ll be their first and last date. For others, with a bit of charm, it might just be the beginning of a lifelong relationship. What happens next is up to them, but at the end of each meal they’ll be asked the big question: ‘Will you see each other again?’
