Things get heated on tonight’s episodes of Channel 4’s First Dates as 24-year-old Cormac and 58-year-old Lorraine find an immediate connection.
The glamorous Lorraine is looking for love after a previous heartbreak, while classic car journalist Cormac likes to live life like it’s the 80s.
His striking fur coat catches Lorraine’s attention, who then asks if Cormac is ‘into older women’. He replies that he is, adding that his ‘cut-off’ age is 66.
When Lorraine asks how old Cormac is, he cheekily replies: ‘Old enough for you.’
Things have clearly got off to a good start, and as they sit down for their meal, the conversation turns to classic cars.
When Cormac shares he’s owned a Rolls-Royce and a Bentley in the past, Lorraine jokes, ‘Let’s get married!’
The pair bond further over Lorraine’s previous ownership of an Aston Martin, at which point their waiter arrives with the food.
As he sets down the dishes, Lorraine says: ‘That’s garlic, I can’t eat that. I might be snogging someone later.’
Her statement appears to shock waiter Kyle, who cocks his head and puts on a bemused smile.
Cormac, meanwhile, is apparently delighted, smiling and saying: ‘I wouldn’t mind that. I’d like that.’
Waiter Kyle is one of First Dates’ new staff members, and is a 25-year-old Welshman who sings and dances his way around the restaurant.
Joining him as a new member of the team is Gerald from New York, who brings a Broadway flair to the show.
Maître d’ and host Fred Sirieix has, of course, returned for the latest series, along with bartender Merlin Griffiths.
As for whether Lorraine and Cormac go the distance, viewers will have to tune in tonight to find out.
It’s not the first time the show has seen a surprise pairing. Just last week, mum-of-three Sophie shocked her date, Emily, by revealing her husband was waiting at the bar.
It turned out that Sophie and her husband Ricki wanted to explore polyamory, and were open to welcoming another person into their relationship.
Fortunately, Emily wasn’t deterred, and Ricki eventually joined the pair in what became the show’s first ‘throuple’ date.
Elsewhere on tonight’s episode, 21-year-old Rebecca, a Boris Johnson fan, meets political researcher Bradley. Paris and Serena find common ground despite a mishap involving a spilled drink, and single mum Anna meets Luke, a military man turned surfer.
First Dates airs tonight at 10pm on Channel 4.
