First Dates is back with social distancing in place.

Dating life may have changed forever thanks to Covid-19. With the closure of the hospitality sector for the majority of the past 12 months, there has been a massive reduction in the amount of places that you could potentially find love. Luckily, First Dates is back to help us through, though things are very different these days, as you can imagine. The hopeful daters show up to their date masked up, but just as eager to find love. When the daters take their seats, they are seated at a much longer table, to ensure that social distancing remained in place during filming. One couple even uses cups and string to communicate from the safe distance... And when they meet up after the date for the fateful decision, they are on opposite sides of a perspex screen. Genius! Take a look at the trailer here: https://twitter.com/RTE2/status/1357676599198380032?s=20 The new series kicks off on Thursday 11 February.
