Channel 4 show First Dates is returning with a new series tonight, and there’s a major twist in store.

The show, which is hosted by Fred Sirieix, films singletons who are looking for love while they’re on a blind date in a restaurant.

In this evening’s episode, mum-of-three Sophie is going on a date with a woman for the first time. She meets Emily, a massage therapist, in the First Dates restaurant.

The date seems to be going well, with Sophie telling Emily that she’s ‘stunning’ and Emily returning the compliment.

But they’re not the only two people there, and partway through the conversation, Sophie drops a bombshell.

‘I’m married,’ she says, going on to reveal her husband is at the bar. She then asks Emily if she’d like to meet him.

It turns out that Sophie, and her husband Ricki, are looking to explore polyamory, and are open to welcoming another person into their relationship.

Ricki reveals in the episode: ‘It would be nice to share the moments with another person.’

Sophie adds: ‘To find someone that likes to cuddle up on the couch. It’s like a missing piece to a jigsaw.’

It’s the first time the Channel 4 show has ever aired a ‘throuple’ date.

Ricki and Sophie recently revealed to the Sun that they plan to watch the episode with friends, some of whom might be shocked to see the couple on the screen.

Ricki revealed: ‘People who are close to us know [about our polyamorous lifestyle] and people who don’t know are going to find out in quite a fun way.’

According to the Sun, Ricki and Sophie met on dating app Tinder in 2015 and were married three years later.

They began exploring opening up their relationship by going to lifestyle clubs, previously known as swingers’ parties, two years in.

Some viewers may recognise their date, Emily, who recently appeared on another Channel 4 show, Open House: The Great Sex Experiment.

The show invites couples who are looking to open up their relationships to a luxury retreat, where they meet people who have already embraced the non-monogamous lifestyle.

Emily was one of the residents on the most recent series, which is the group of people who are experienced in non-monogamy and help introduce it to the newcomers.

The show has seen its fair share of graphic moments, but the experience isn’t for everyone.

One man appeared to vomit at the thought of his girlfriend sleeping with another woman, while another star broke down in tears at one of the sex parties.

Elsewhere on tonight’s episode of First Dates, widowed dad Mike meets hairdresser Carly, 89-year-old Derek meets fellow music lover June and self-confessed ‘walking red flag’ Conner meets tech consultant Charlie.

First Dates airs tonight at 10pm on Channel 4.
