An Irish guy went on Blind Date UK and it was very, very awkward

Things certainly took a turn.

Blind Date UK is still going strong and while it will never captivate the masses like Love Island seems to, we're not sure how it does but that's a discussion for another day, it does have a loyal and eager following. Following last week's show, this weekend's episode checked in on couple Cali and Alexi, who went on a romantic date to South Africa. While it wasn't to be for the pair as romance didn't blossom, especially after Alexi said he'd rather be off with his friends than with Cali, but there was another twist in this story. As the pair were ready to get up and leave, host Paul O'Grady called in another guest to join the pair on the couch. Barry, one of last week's other daters who picked a girl in a separate segment was coming back on. This was what unfolded as things got awkward very quickly... https://twitter.com/channel5_tv/status/1010605409944645642

It was revealed that Barry and Cali had started to get close themselves, with Cali explaining:

"Me and Barry started talking. We bumped into each other in the corridor."

And it seems things escalated from there, which isn't surprising considering Barry's own date didn't seem to go that well at all... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PSxCLcaFG4&t=5s&frags=pl%2Cwn
