They are calling on single men and women in Ireland to apply for the series. Young or old, straight or gay, from all corners of the country, Al and the team wants to hear from those looking for love. To apply go to www.tv3.ie/blinddate, email [email protected] or call Stu Smith or Leah Wallace on 089 219 1997. Speaking about the new series, Al Porter said:

"I'm beyond delighted this is happening and leaped at the chance to do it! Since I was a kid on stage in the Olympia all I've ever wanted to do was cheer people up and entertain as many people as possible. I remember watching shows like Blind Date with Cilla as my Mam ironed and my Nana laughed and it doing just that - cheering us all up! To think I've the opportunity to be welcomed into people's homes each week on TV3 for a bit of shiny, silly fun is a privilege and I hope people love it. Most fun for me, is like my Panto and radio work, Blind Date on TV3 will be broad fun, family entertainment... Now, to practice saying "what's your name, where do you come from?!"
