Corkman in search of 'fairygoth-mother' features on First Dates

CAN a Corkman and a Dub put aside big city rivalry and get along?

We will find out when heavily tattooed Dylan, 29, from the Rebel County, meets self-confessed “weird and wonderful” Lynn, 24, from Dublin in this episode - Dylan says he is searching for his very own ‘fairy goth-mother’.

Also tonight, having written a sad song for every break-up he’s ever had, Daniel, 31, from Mexico, identifies as Adele, but will he be rolling in the deep with old school romantic Leon, 31, from Dublin?

All’s fare in love as taxi driver Abi, 20, of Blanchardstown, meets super-confident car salesman Sean, 23, from Palmerstown.

Tired of toy-boys, Helen, 43, of Wicklow is seeking someone her own age but will she find ‘amour’ with 40something Damien, 41 – possibly the least romantic Parisian in Dublin?
