There Was a Pretty Awkward Realisation For One Irish ‘First Dates’ Couple

What's the one thing that's worst than a first date?  While we're tempted to say NOTHING, we think that realising it's not actually the first time you've dated the person could be worse. That was the case for two participants of the Irish First Dates, which is currently filming at the Gibson hotel. Yep, one of the couples who had been set up on a date, had already dated. An insider told the Irish Sun:  “How Irish is that? It’s never happened on UK’s First Dates but Ireland being Ireland, the guy and the girl, not only knew one another but had been out on a date before." The couple were demoted to a background couple, which we think may actually be more awkward than if it had been filmed. Ireland is just too small - which is one of the main reasons we can't wait to tune in to the programme when it airs on RTÉ2 in the Spring. Our unique brand of awkwardness will now be televised for all to see.
