23 - 1: Episode 1

More hopeful singletons visit the First Dates restaurant looking for love. Glamorous 53-year-old Justine loves chocolate; 59-year-old chocolate expert Angus is hoping to melt her heart. Their date sizzles, but is Angus coming on too strong? Fashionista Lucy, who's 24, has never had a boyfriend. She suffered a long illness, which means she now uses a stoma bag. Lucy's date is the moustachioed, pearl-necklace-wearing Ben, who's also 24. They connect over fashion, charity shops and a shared obsession with Harry Styles. Hairdresser Clint, who's 39, admits that dates tend to find him rude. His match is long-haul flight attendant Dani, who's also 39, and who finds his jet-setting job is a hindrance to settling down. Writer Jack bears more than a passing resemblance to his namesake Captain Jack Sparrow. His date Chloe, a singer in a rock band, arrives in an eye-catching leather dress. From the moment Jack and Chloe meet and compliment each other's eyeliner, sparks fly. Jack writes Chloe a poem. But she goes one better, performing a serenade that brings the restaurant to a standstill and leaves Jack stunned.
