00:00What's in your bag? Are you moving it?
00:02Bucket and spade. I've got my pink bikini.
00:04Here some will dive in head first.
00:06I'm going to put my fingers in his mouth later.
00:08Are you?
00:09What are they doing to me, eh?
00:10While others struggle to stay afloat.
00:13Where's he gone? He's gone.
00:14There's the ick.
00:15First dates might lead to second.
00:17Where's the kiss?
00:18You did not. Yes.
00:19And with new arrivals comes a sea of possibilities.
00:22That'd be second date.
00:23This is what the sun does to people, Fred.
00:25But when the sun sets on their time at the beach club,
00:28will this be more than a holiday romance?
00:30Wow.
00:31Marriage, kids, where are you at?
00:33Woo!
00:34Previously on First Aids Beach Club.
00:37I don't eat meat. I don't. I'm vegetarian.
00:39I know. Why are you looking short?
00:41So you don't like Gavin?
00:43Absolutely not, no.
00:44Lauren and Bro's connection was a little undercooked.
00:48Do you want to see us again?
00:50Not in that way. Okay. Yeah. Perfect.
00:52But with so many juicy options on the menu.
00:55I need your number before you go, though.
00:57Yeah, you want me to offer another drink.
00:59There's always another cut of romance ready to be served.
01:02Can I be second date?
01:04One door just closed and another one will...
01:07Open!
01:11Welcome to First Aids Beach Club.
01:14My own company is a very special.
01:19My house is on the floor.
01:21I know that you're a party.
01:22I'm not a guy.
01:23I told you so.
01:24This looks like me.
01:25My house is in my house.
01:26I'm not a guy.
01:27My house is a club.
01:28I Tonight is a club.
01:29And I'm sleeping.
01:31And I'm sleeping with...
01:32I'm sleeping with my face.
01:33I'm sleeping with my house.
01:35I'm sleeping with her.
01:36I thought I was going to be your first date.
01:46So did I. I just thought that.
01:49I thought I was, like, expecting it to be you.
01:51I know, so did I.
01:52I got whisked away.
01:55I've never been asked out, really.
01:58Like, I'm not a serial dater, but I want to be kind of thing.
02:00Like, I want to find my person.
02:03Can I be your second date?
02:04Hopefully you're my forever one.
02:07Yeah, your forever date.
02:08Maybe. I'd say that.
02:09Yeah, I would like that.
02:10Yeah, same here.
02:27Hello, hello.
02:29Buenos dias.
02:30Buenos dias.
02:31Buenos dias, Charlie.
02:33I get high fives.
02:37I'm glad you're full of energy, because today is going to be all system go.
02:41We have so many daters, and you guys have to be on your A-games today.
02:44Woo, I'm ready.
02:45Merlin, we are ready.
02:46Got extra stock behind the bar.
02:48More ice than you can shake a sticker.
02:50Brilliant.
02:51Let's make it happen for our daters, because at the end of the day, we want them to find love.
02:55I'm excited.
02:56Let's do it.
02:57Let's do it.
02:58Yeah.
03:06First to make waves at the beach club is 23-year-old underwriter, Sydney.
03:12Hi.
03:15I've arrived.
03:18After one too many claims on her heart from bad boys, she's come to the beach club, hoping
03:24to finally ensure herself a keeper.
03:27What are you hoping from this date?
03:29I'm hoping to get a good connection, and hoping that we bounce off each other, and yeah, that
03:35the energies match.
03:37Come with me.
03:38I've kind of been pretty rubbish at finding my own, finding someone myself.
03:44Merlin, we'll fix you up.
03:45Thank you, Fred.
03:46So, I'm intrigued to see who's been found for me.
03:50Firstly, can I fix you a drink?
03:51I think I'll have the love you colada, please.
03:53Oh, yeah.
03:54We're on the beach.
03:55Perfect.
03:55Coladas.
03:55Yes.
03:58How old are you, if you don't mind me asking?
04:00I'm 23.
04:0123?
04:01Yeah.
04:01Right, yeah.
04:02What is it like dating these days?
04:04I don't know.
04:04I think with the internet, it just becomes, like, obsolete finding someone, because it
04:08always feels like there's always something better.
04:10That's interesting.
04:12I'm super picky.
04:13I hate when guys pose with pictures, like, of money up their arms, or, like, just money
04:18anywhere.
04:20Someone holding a massive fish.
04:22Don't love that.
04:23Surely you're missing that initial tickle when you've caught someone's eye across a
04:28room.
04:28Yeah.
04:28You know, or just even while sitting at the bus stop kind of thing.
04:31And guys in super skinny jeans, whatever's comfortable for you, but it's just not my
04:36thing.
04:36I hate a skinny jean.
04:38There you go.
04:39Thank you so much.
04:40Colada.
04:40Gorgeous.
04:42Yeah, pleasure.
04:44My type is definitely someone who's very tall.
04:47I just love having a tall man around.
04:52Usually someone who's, like, of mixed descent or fully black.
04:56And also, I really like when a guy has, like, a nerdy obsession with something, and they
05:03constantly tell you about it.
05:05I really like that.
05:08Hoping to impress with his special interest is 27-year-old Judah.
05:14Here we go.
05:15Hey, Judah.
05:16Nice to meet you.
05:17Nice to meet you.
05:18Tell me, what do you do for a living?
05:19I'm an audio-visual technician, but I also side hustle with voiceovers and narration
05:24and stuff like that.
05:25You've got a very striking voice.
05:28My voice might be my secret weapon.
05:32Could you do a voiceover there for the beach club?
05:34Hopeful singletons come in search of finding love.
05:38The females in their beautiful gowns, skin glowing.
05:45I've lost my train of thought.
05:47Come with me.
05:49Ah, hello.
05:51Hey, man.
05:52Nice to meet you.
05:53I'm Sydney.
05:54Judah.
05:55Nice to meet you.
05:56Welcome.
05:56Please grab a seat.
05:58Can I get you a drink, sir?
05:59Anything non-alcoholic.
06:01A mocktail would be great.
06:02Do you not drink?
06:03No.
06:04Not a drinker?
06:04No.
06:05I don't like the taste of alcohol.
06:06To be honest, neither.
06:07That's why I always get a cocktail, so it's, like, super sweet.
06:09Wicked sweet tooth.
06:10Yeah.
06:11Hell yeah.
06:11Massive sweet tooth.
06:12Oh, my gosh.
06:14What do you do?
06:16Well, I'm an AV engineer, audio-visual engineer.
06:18What do you do?
06:19I work in insurance.
06:20Oh, yeah?
06:22I do flirt, but I don't know if it's all that obvious sometimes.
06:27Where's your necklace from, by the way?
06:28If I feel warm enough to throw out some rogue opinions, some controversial takes, then I think
06:35we're in good waters.
06:37Okay, question.
06:38Do you agree or disagree that dogs should wear clothes?
06:41No.
06:42No?
06:43No, that's really odd.
06:45Why?
06:45Do you think they should?
06:46I feel like there's a gap in the market.
06:48Keeping their eyes peeled for someone to sweep them off their flip-flops are newcomers, Charlotte
07:01and Gemma.
07:02Hello, babe.
07:03You all right?
07:05It's all right.
07:05What's your name, by the way?
07:06It's Gemma.
07:06Gemma.
07:07Merlin.
07:07Nice to see you.
07:07Nice to meet you.
07:08And Charlotte.
07:09Charlotte.
07:10Lovely to meet you, Charlotte.
07:11Nice to meet you.
07:11This is amazing, by the way.
07:13A pinko colada to match your outfit.
07:15Cheers.
07:15Cheers.
07:16Cheers.
07:16As a 34-year-old facilities administrator, Charlotte has high standards for everything,
07:24from work to her wardrobe.
07:26Get the feathers in.
07:28She's hoping to see if love under the sun can meet her carefully curated expectations.
07:34I feel like I am looking for a future husband.
07:38Finding that wrong person.
07:40Wrong person.
07:41I've done the point of that.
07:42Don't worry about that.
07:44This is totally out of my comfort zone, and I am going to go for it.
07:50I don't feel like I want to mess around anymore.
07:52I'm 23, by the way.
08:02Right.
08:02How old are you?
08:0327.
08:03Okay.
08:04So, yeah, I was in a relationship from 15 to 20, and then that kind of ended.
08:10I spent so long being one half of a pair, and I really just wanted to be whole in myself.
08:17The past, like, maybe a year, I kind of was like, I kind of want to be in love again.
08:22I kind of want to commit to one person and just, like, dedicate myself to that.
08:27So, that's why I'm here, because I have had no luck looking for myself.
08:31What about you?
08:34A friend said, why not try?
08:36I think I have high standards.
08:38They know it.
08:39Why don't you?
08:39Yeah.
08:41Go find someone who can do it.
08:43You know what I mean?
08:43My dream woman would probably have something striking about their face.
08:50High cheekbones or piercing eyes.
08:53Yeah, they've done well.
08:55Nice.
08:55They've done very well.
08:56Nice.
08:56Oh, thank you.
08:58How are you?
08:59Good, thank you.
09:00How's your conversation?
09:01Yeah, good so far.
09:02Very good.
09:03Good match.
09:04Shall I take you to the restaurant?
09:05Yes, please.
09:05Yes, please.
09:07You're lovely, by the way.
09:09So do you.
09:11It's beautiful here, isn't it?
09:13Absolutely beautiful.
09:14Yeah.
09:15Love it.
09:16Fiery force from Sevenoaks, Gemma, has come to Spain, looking for her forever frontman
09:22to turn up the volume with.
09:24What have you asked for?
09:26Ask for Liam Gallagher.
09:27Did you?
09:27Yeah.
09:29Maybe.
09:29I can't see it.
09:30No.
09:33I love Oasis, I love music, I love going to gigs.
09:37I want someone to, like, spend their time with me and do things with me and just, yeah,
09:42just have fun.
09:43If you can get Liam Gallagher, then it's absolutely fine.
09:46What did you ask for?
09:48Danidiah.
09:49Who talks like me?
09:52I wonder who it is.
09:54I thought, oh, God, do I put my sunglasses up so I can have a little gander?
09:57I know.
09:59He's quite nice, though, isn't he?
10:00What, the waiter?
10:01Yeah, he's all right.
10:01He's quite nice, actually.
10:11Ooh.
10:12Gravity was not working at that time.
10:16Oh, gosh.
10:18How are you feeling about this whole experience?
10:22Were you nervous?
10:23Yes.
10:24I think when I saw you.
10:26You were like, it's fine.
10:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:28Yeah, I was like, oh, he dresses well, no skinny jeans.
10:32You don't have to worry about any of that with me.
10:34We are.
10:35Thank God.
10:36In terms of personality and what I'm looking for, someone who's kind, easygoing, probably
10:43a little bit more organized than I am, because planning things is not my forte.
10:49Do you have any tattoos?
10:51No, not yet.
10:51No.
10:52Not yet.
10:53Life's better with a routine.
10:55I am going to evaluate that when I turn 30.
10:58Okay.
10:59You're quite structured in the things that you do.
11:01Yeah.
11:03I'm 27, but I feel like I'm 60 years old, and I've felt 60 since I was 15.
11:10So, I'll review facial hair, hairstyle, and tattoos at 30.
11:18At 30?
11:19You think in three years' time you'll figure that out?
11:21On a Friday night, you'll probably find me at a jazz club where they shush you for talking
11:27too much with the same snacks at the same time.
11:30Having a great time.
11:34Oh, my God.
11:36Okay, wait, we need to focus now.
11:38Stop talking.
11:39No, I'm joking.
11:41Usually, if a guy can make me laugh a lot, he's already kind of winning.
11:45I think I'm going to go for the cod.
11:47Are you a fish and chips person?
11:48No, not fish and chips.
11:50No, no, no, no.
11:51So disgusting.
11:52Don't disrespect me like that.
11:53Excuse me.
11:57So, let's have a little look.
11:59Should we try and figure out who is Danny Dyer?
12:03And Liam.
12:03And Liam.
12:05Where's Liam Gallagher?
12:06Where's Liam and Danny?
12:07Where is he?
12:10With the swagger of a Britbook frontman, 39-year-old builder Elmo has come to the beach club hoping
12:17to cement a chart-topper of a connection.
12:20How are you, Elmo?
12:21Oh, I'm fantastic.
12:23You've got a great hairstyle.
12:24Oh, man.
12:25Love it.
12:26Inspired by yourself.
12:27Oh, there's someone coming.
12:28I can help.
12:31Where do you date?
12:32Been a lot online.
12:33Does it work?
12:33Some success.
12:34Some tragedies.
12:35I've come to the beach club to find maybe the one, and maybe it's my time to settle down.
12:45I'm getting all hot.
12:46Is it the sun, or is it just the sun?
12:49No, I'm getting a sweaty bum hole.
12:51Oh, my God.
12:53Let me take you to the sunbed.
12:54Right.
12:55Yeah, we're going to set you up on a date.
12:58Right, just look cool.
12:59Yeah.
12:59Look cool.
13:00Has anyone told you you look like a guy like a brother?
13:02A witch?
13:03A guy like a brother.
13:04Never.
13:06Yeah, you walk like a guy like a brother.
13:07All right.
13:07This is lush.
13:15What is it about Danny Dyer, though?
13:17I don't know.
13:17I've always liked it.
13:18I've always liked a Cockney accent.
13:21Quite sexy, isn't it?
13:27With the charm of Danny Dyer and the chat to match...
13:30All right, my babes.
13:31How you doing?
13:32You all right?
13:3331-year-old roofer George is hoping to raise the roof
13:36and a few pulses.
13:38How you doing?
13:39Very good.
13:40Yourself?
13:40Yeah, very good.
13:41Thank you very much.
13:42Nice to meet you.
13:42Nice to meet you.
13:42You too.
13:44Nice smile.
13:45It's nice.
13:46Yeah.
13:47You're going to go on a date.
13:48Yes.
13:48Here we go.
13:49Do you know what you're looking for?
13:51Hopefully, love.
13:52Being in the sun, a bit of sangria,
13:55everyone feels better in the sunshine.
13:57Brings the best out of people.
13:58Positive attitude.
13:59Yes.
13:59Come with me.
14:00I'll take you this way.
14:02I look cool.
14:03Really cool.
14:06After dipping their toes in yesterday,
14:17Lauren and Chelsea have returned to the beach club
14:19for their first proper date.
14:22Looking good together, isn't it?
14:24Lauren and Chelsea.
14:25This is going to be really interesting
14:27because yesterday when they met,
14:28it was very fun, fun, fun.
14:29So this is now working out
14:30whether they actually have a connection.
14:32So I'm really intrigued to see what it is
14:36that was there on the daybed
14:37because I want to get to know you as a person.
14:40Yeah, I know.
14:40I'm with you on that.
14:41Yeah, because I feel like, you know what I mean.
14:42I'm happy to explain that.
14:43I'll find a bit more about you too.
14:45I'm 28.
14:46I'm a paint decorator.
14:49I do a lot of high-class work
14:51for quite a few footballers
14:53in the Cheshire area.
14:55You get to meet a few wags,
14:57which you can't complain about,
14:58but work hard, play hard.
15:00I do enjoy it.
15:03In the future, I'm hoping to start my own business.
15:05Have other people working for me
15:06so that I can have more time with you.
15:08Do you know what I mean?
15:10I'm smooth.
15:11On a date, I'm smooth.
15:12I've got to be.
15:13I want to get to know you.
15:15Do you know what I mean?
15:15See how things go.
15:16Yeah.
15:16See the connection.
15:17I love a nice smile.
15:19A kind face.
15:20Someone who seems caring,
15:23happy,
15:24is what I'm attracted to.
15:25Well, your card's right.
15:26We're getting married to Mama.
15:27Do you know what I mean?
15:29I will.
15:30Maybe.
15:31We'll see.
15:35Hi, guys.
15:36How are we doing?
15:36Not too bad.
15:37Really good.
15:37How are you?
15:38I've actually come to tell you
15:39that we're going to take you to a vineyard
15:40and you're going to try the local wine.
15:42No way.
15:43Yeah.
15:44That was my dream date.
15:45Well, follow me.
15:46And I want to take you back.
15:47Oh, my God.
15:47Oh, my God.
15:56Would you say you're, like, a thrill seeker?
15:58Like, would you do, like, skydiving, bungee jumping,
16:02those kind of things?
16:03No, I'll watch from a safe distance.
16:05You're, like, no, thank you.
16:07I value my life.
16:10I used to suffer really badly from social anxiety.
16:13Almost throwing up.
16:16But sometimes I'm just, like, life's too short.
16:18Like, so what if something goes wrong?
16:20At least I did it.
16:20Shorten it.
16:21Yeah.
16:22Yeah.
16:23At least I'll still be young and beautiful when I'm gone,
16:25you know?
16:26Hey.
16:27In that casket looking.
16:29Perfect.
16:30I overcame social anxiety by going on dates.
16:34It was a bit of trial by fire.
16:36I responded to a prompt on Hinge.
16:41The first message was,
16:43suck your mum, you miserable prick.
16:46And that was the end of that.
16:53When I die, I want to be a tree.
16:55Right.
16:56Something that lasts,
16:57what are those trees that, like, last forever?
16:59Like, oak trees?
16:59Oh, they're kind of ugly.
17:00They don't want to be that tree.
17:02Maybe, like, a cherry blossom.
17:03I don't know.
17:03I'll think about it.
17:04This might be a good situation
17:06to see how far I've come.
17:09So what do you want to happen?
17:11Well, a friend of mine said that
17:12she'd like to be made into a diamond.
17:14And I thought, bang.
17:17Love that.
17:18Imagine somebody loses that.
17:20Then somebody will find it
17:21and you'll travel a whole new experience.
17:23Oh, my God.
17:24Okay, that's actually really, really cool.
17:25It always takes me back
17:26to that Kim Kardashian clip.
17:28My diamond ring!
17:30Kim, there are people that are dying.
17:32You know, guys, today we have a painter,
17:46a roofer, and a builder
17:47all coming for a date in the beach club.
17:50Awesome.
17:51Wow.
17:51Can they fix the plumbing on my sink, please?
17:53Of course.
17:54I've already made a list.
17:55That's right.
17:56We're not going to charge them for anything.
17:58This is what we're going to charge them
17:59for their days.
18:00That's it.
18:01Keep crock up.
18:02Yes.
18:03You're a builder as well, are you?
18:04A roofer.
18:05Oh, king of trades.
18:07Oh, yeah, definitely.
18:08I'd rather be sitting outside
18:09than stuck in an office,
18:10to tell you that now.
18:11Cool.
18:12I wonder where we actually
18:13go on our date, I guess.
18:15Unless this is it
18:16and we have too many of these
18:17and we fall in love.
18:18Yeah, and you.
18:18Do you know what I mean?
18:21Hello.
18:22You all right?
18:22How are you?
18:23I'm really good.
18:25Has anyone ever told you
18:26you look like a young Jerry Halliwell?
18:27All the time, yeah.
18:29Right, well, tell me what you want,
18:31what you really, really want then.
18:32I really, really want a beer, please.
18:34A beer, of course.
18:34It's not even that really good, is it?
18:42I've been in love at first sight
18:43loads of times.
18:47Do you want a drink?
18:48I'm good.
18:49I'm good, sir.
18:50I am a bit of an over-thinker,
18:52but I just need to
18:54let it all come naturally,
18:55to be honest,
18:56because otherwise
18:57I'll say something stupid
18:58or stutter or something
18:59and I don't want that to happen.
19:02Hello.
19:02You all right?
19:02My name's George, you all right?
19:03Hi, George.
19:04It's Gemma.
19:04Hi, yeah, Charlotte.
19:06Nice to meet you both.
19:07Oh, he's straight in.
19:11Charmer.
19:13You had a date yet or not?
19:14No, not yet.
19:15No, not yet.
19:16He walked me in,
19:16walked me over there
19:17and I thought he was
19:17introducing me to a lad.
19:18It's like,
19:18what's going on here, mate?
19:20Have you been on one of the cocktails?
19:22Long Island.
19:22Long Island.
19:23Oh, my God.
19:23Oh, my God.
19:24Yeah, they're lethal, aren't they?
19:25Yeah.
19:25I'll have one more
19:26and then I better go
19:27and take a bit softer, yeah.
19:28Yeah.
19:30Right, I'm going to go back to my bed.
19:31Adios.
19:31See you later, girls.
19:32See you later.
19:32After some top-shelf flirting yesterday,
19:43Lauren and Chelsea have come
19:44to a local vineyard
19:45to see if there's more
19:47to their connection
19:47than just a sparkling first impression.
19:51You want that getting over there?
19:52I'll try.
19:55Don't you worry.
19:56Wait.
19:57Eat.
19:57Hello.
19:58Hello, how are you?
19:59Not too bad.
20:00She's already falling for us.
20:02Carlos?
20:03Chelsea, what's with me?
20:04Chelsea, really nice to meet you, finally.
20:05Hi, I'm Lauren.
20:06Really nice to meet you.
20:07Nice to meet you.
20:08So, this one is Sauvignon Blanc.
20:10That's me favourite.
20:11If you please take your glass
20:12and smell it,
20:14what do you smell?
20:15Wine.
20:16Wine.
20:18There's definitely a spark
20:19and energy there
20:20and I think there's just a lot
20:21I get to know about each other.
20:24That's very smooth.
20:25You like it?
20:26Yeah, it is.
20:26Very smooth.
20:27Goes down the gullet very nicely.
20:29Try it with the juice.
20:30Yeah.
20:31Okay.
20:32Which, the next one,
20:33I'm very excited to be able to
20:34give you the taste.
20:36It's not for me, that.
20:37Not for me.
20:38I like a bit of cheddar.
20:40I'll leave you now
20:41to be able to enjoy
20:41a bit of the cheese,
20:42some of the meat.
20:43Please enjoy.
20:44I'll be back.
20:45Thank you very much.
20:45Gracias.
20:49I've never been on a date
20:49with someone before.
20:50Really?
20:51Yeah, no one's ever asked me out.
20:53Rejection is something
20:53that I've experienced all my life.
20:55Weight was a real big issue for me.
20:56Like, everyone always looked at me
20:58as, like, the fat girl.
20:58For someone to be like,
20:59oh, my God, you're beautiful.
21:00Well, you are beautiful,
21:01so don't let anyone ever say
21:02anything else.
21:03Try and get that laugh going.
21:05You've got an amazing laugh,
21:07though, I can't lie.
21:07It is really loud, though.
21:09Yeah, but you put a smile
21:10on anyone's face, don't you?
21:12Oh!
21:12That means a lot.
21:13It's worth the noise.
21:14Is it?
21:17Humour, to me, is very important.
21:19I love a rubbish dad joke.
21:21They've got to have the same
21:22kind of personality as me,
21:24up for a laugh,
21:25and never know what's going to
21:26come out of my mouth
21:27when I'm in anything.
21:28I'm going to tap my flies now.
21:30They do fly roam.
21:31Shit.
21:41A lot of people misread about me
21:43because I'm like this
21:45a lot of the time.
21:46But if the vibe is right...
21:49Then you're getting numb.
21:50I'm crumping.
21:52Doing all that?
21:53Yeah.
21:53Get you on step.
21:54I would definitely say
21:57I'm a very spontaneous person,
21:58so I kind of need someone
21:59who's going to be able
22:00to match that.
22:02I had a little bit
22:03of a step-up moment
22:04in one club,
22:06one time.
22:07Half eleven,
22:09vibe starts to pick up.
22:10I'm approaching crump.
22:13I'm right here.
22:15Now we're vibing.
22:16They formed a semicircle around me.
22:18And we're going.
22:19And then I heard...
22:21We're soaring.
22:22It's time to go.
22:25I want to hate,
22:27but any high school musical nostalgia
22:29will be there.
22:30Not while the vest
22:31is about to come off.
22:33Are you ready for your day, George?
22:53Sure am, Fred.
22:54Come on.
22:54Let's go.
22:55Let's do this.
22:57Enjoy.
22:58Cheers.
23:01I'm a fidget.
23:02I snore.
23:03And I talk to myself.
23:06Cheers.
23:06Good luck.
23:09The talking to myself thing,
23:11people don't get it,
23:12but I make the most sense.
23:14Right.
23:14Let's just stand up
23:17and put her chair around.
23:18Is he talking to all of himself?
23:20Yeah, I think he is.
23:21Is he?
23:22Yeah.
23:23What is he telling to himself?
23:24I don't know.
23:25I think maybe affirmations,
23:27like,
23:27I've got this,
23:28I'm amazing.
23:29This is awkward.
23:31That's fine.
23:32What are you all about?
23:33I'm a great day.
23:36I'm a confident sport.
23:38I've got the driest mouth ever.
23:41Shut up, dude.
23:44How would you tell if I fancy her?
23:46I'd smile quite a lot anyway,
23:48but I'll have a big grin, I guess.
23:55Hello, you all right?
23:56Hello, you OK?
23:57Nice to meet you again.
23:57You all right?
23:58Hello.
23:58You've met already at the bar.
23:59You've met already.
24:00It's like a second date.
24:02Yeah?
24:02Already, yeah.
24:03Have fun.
24:04Going well.
24:05You've got lovely eyes.
24:06So have you.
24:06Really blue.
24:07Yeah, so are yours,
24:08but you had your glasses on out there.
24:09Yeah, so you wouldn't see.
24:11No, I didn't see.
24:12What do you do?
24:13Roof art, yeah.
24:14Yeah?
24:14Yeah.
24:15Always out in the sun.
24:17There is a misconception
24:18of standing on a scaffold,
24:20girls walk past
24:21and you start whistling
24:21and shouting and stuff,
24:22but no, that's not me.
24:24Is that why you're so tanned?
24:26Yeah.
24:27I normally go for
24:28more of the guys
24:29that are good with their hands,
24:31as in...
24:32That sounds so bad.
24:37A bit of a manly man, really,
24:39that gets stuck in.
24:41Have you got tan lines?
24:42No.
24:43Haven't you?
24:43No.
24:44What do you wear then?
24:46Do you go topless?
24:46Topless, yeah.
24:47It's got to be topless.
24:48I might just end up looking like
24:49when I call it squishy.
24:50Yeah.
24:51Right.
24:52Right, enough about me anyway.
24:53I need to stop talking about myself.
24:54No, we're getting to know each other,
24:56aren't we?
24:56Yeah, of course.
24:57What's your favourite colour?
24:58What's your favourite flower?
25:00I don't know, you know.
25:01I've never even thought about the flower bees.
25:02Is that a joke?
25:03No.
25:03Yeah.
25:04Just get a question out there, done.
25:07I feel like you need
25:09to have that banter.
25:11Like, even if you take the mick out of me
25:12and I'm able to take the mick out of you,
25:14like, I love that.
25:15That is how it should be.
25:17I can't believe how blue your eyes are.
25:20They are well blue.
25:20I've never met anyone's eyes as good as mine, really.
25:23Really?
25:24Yours are really blue.
25:26They're like werewolves.
25:26Funny you should say that.
25:28Why?
25:28I've got a hairy chest.
25:29I mean, that's...
25:30LAUGHTER
25:31You go out a lot, then?
25:42Yeah, yeah, I do, with my friends and, yeah, yeah.
25:45I go to gigs and go to my local pub
25:48and they've got, like, band nights.
25:49I do love a beach club.
25:51I love the whole beach club vibe.
25:53I love getting dressed up for a beach club.
25:56I love all of that, so that's, yeah,
25:58that's why I thought, yeah, this is for me.
26:00Happy to hear you're supporting your local pub.
26:01I know, I do support.
26:03I think I've propped the bar up.
26:04Do you?
26:05LAUGHTER
26:05I'd rather meet someone, like, normally
26:08or just, like, meet them out or something like that,
26:11but you don't anymore.
26:12I've always wanted to walk into a pub and they go,
26:14oh, the usual.
26:15The usual.
26:15Yeah, and I've got that now.
26:17You've got it?
26:18I'm like, I'm dead.
26:19Brilliant.
26:20A guy with a personality more than anything,
26:23someone that's, like, got something about them,
26:25got a bit of, you know, a bit of swag.
26:27I just want someone that matches my energy.
26:30Elmo, are you ready for your date?
26:32You look like a cold spring here, ready to just...
26:34Yeah, yeah, I mean, I've probably got too much energy.
26:37You don't have far to go, though.
26:38Oh, yeah.
26:38Yes, here you are.
26:40Yeah, brilliant.
26:41How you doing?
26:41Hello, you all right?
26:42I'm Elmo.
26:43What's your name?
26:43Elmo.
26:44Elmo, you all right?
26:45Yeah, good, thank you.
26:46What do you do?
26:46Builder.
26:47Oh, are you?
26:48Self-employed, yeah.
26:48Do residential extensions.
26:50Oh, nice, all right.
26:51Yeah.
26:52You need a builder?
26:53I need a builder.
26:56Like, someone who's, like, a bit like that.
26:59Do you even like a cup of tea?
27:08No.
27:09I used to get tea when I was a kid to stick biscuits in.
27:11Oh, yeah.
27:12That is it.
27:13That is literally it.
27:14Guys, where are you starting?
27:15Oh, amazing.
27:16That's the poor belly.
27:18Enjoy it.
27:21That's nice, eh?
27:22What were your past relationships?
27:26I've been single for three years.
27:29Oh.
27:29Yeah, you?
27:32About six, seven months.
27:35Walking away from a relationship that's not right is very difficult.
27:40How long were you in a relationship for?
27:42Ten years.
27:43I was seven.
27:45I see.
27:45I have been cheated on.
27:49It's just awful, really.
27:52And it does take a while to get over that.
27:56Do you like being in a long-term relationship?
27:59Is that what you're after?
28:02Yeah, I just don't want to keep doing a lot of chop and change.
28:05I'm getting older now.
28:07I know.
28:08Once I think you've had things happen and you've played Sherlock Holmes,
28:13I find that it's really hard to get out of that
28:17and to build that trust up.
28:18But I think you have to realise that
28:20that new person, that's a start for Ash.
28:24So you can't tart everybody with the same brush.
28:28What about you?
28:29I don't really want to, like, mess around.
28:31I don't really enjoy being single, to be honest.
28:33No.
28:34Hopefully, I will find somebody
28:36that doesn't want or need to do that.
28:40And it's just the little things as well, isn't it?
28:43When you're with somebody, like at night and, like, just chilling.
28:49Someone to do nothing with.
28:50Yeah, that's what I love.
28:52I think that's where you start to miss someone, isn't it?
28:55I think mine's as well.
28:57It'd be nice to go on holiday with someone.
28:58Oh, yeah.
29:00I love holidays.
29:00Yeah.
29:01Yeah.
29:01Same.
29:06You got any kids or anything?
29:08Yeah, so I've got a little girl.
29:10Okay.
29:10Yeah.
29:10How old?
29:11Eleven.
29:11Have you?
29:13Yeah.
29:13Yeah, well, I've got two little girls.
29:15Aw.
29:17There's a lot of boxes to tick when you've got, like, I have two girls and things like that
29:22and working around someone else with kids as well.
29:24So it's not as easy, I don't think, as it would have been in me in the early 20s, but I did
29:32that and that didn't go too well in the end either.
29:35How long have you been single for?
29:37Sort of best part of six years.
29:39It's just nothing stuck, really.
29:41Right, right, okay.
29:42So, yeah.
29:43How long have you been on your own?
29:45Um, probably, like, about four years.
29:48Sometimes I think, like, it's me.
29:50My best friend says, like, I am like a butterfly and everybody that I've ever wanted, that I've
29:55ever met always wants to clip my wings, you know, stay in all the time and not be social
30:01anymore and be a traditional mum.
30:04Like, you know, things like that, which I'm not.
30:07I'm never going to be like that.
30:09Married?
30:10No, no, never been married.
30:12Have you?
30:12Yeah.
30:12Have y'all?
30:13Yeah, done all that.
30:14Have y'all been there, done it?
30:16Yeah, um, yeah, I was married, I think, for seven years.
30:19You can't change life, it's already mapped out for you.
30:22You've just got to roll with it.
30:23I've got two fantastic daughters out of it, so zero regrets.
30:29Are you ready for your date?
30:30Yes.
30:30Come with me.
30:31This way.
30:34So I've been single for two years now, and I just feel like I'm ready for, like, my end
30:46goal.
30:47When I grow old and laugh, I want someone to laugh is into my coffin.
30:51Fair enough, you can do it sooner rather than later, if you want.
30:54Me and relationships don't really get along, they always end up falling for the wrong person.
30:59Right.
31:00Everyone thinks I'm dead tough and hard-faced, but...
31:04No.
31:05When you get to know me, I'm dead soft.
31:08I've got a big heart.
31:10Definitely say I've been unlucky in love up to now.
31:14I've been single for a year.
31:15Okay.
31:16The girl I was with before that, she was bisexual.
31:20We were together for a couple of years.
31:22When you're a lesbian and they end up cheating on you with a man, it breaks you.
31:29You're going to somebody that can give you something that I can't.
31:33Don't feel like you're worth anything.
31:35You feel a bit useless, and no matter what you do, you're not good enough for that person,
31:40and it hurts.
31:41I didn't know she was pregnant at the time.
31:46I got back with her.
31:47And you were okay getting back with her?
31:49Just went with the flow.
31:50I became a step-mum at the age of 21.
31:54I was there through the pregnancy, the birth, the lot.
31:57And then we splote when he was three, and he's eight now, so I'd do anything for him.
32:02I love him to bits, and he always will.
32:04I wouldn't have the connection with my step-son like I do now.
32:08It was the best thing I've ever been through, and it changed my life completely.
32:13But for the good.
32:14And you want kids yourself?
32:15Yeah, of course I do.
32:16I see a future with kids, a wife, happy family, own your own house, places like this.
32:23Got an end goal.
32:25Yeah.
32:25About yourself.
32:26Very similar to yours.
32:27I want a wife, I want kids, and a nice house, and a happy family.
32:30Like, I think that's everyone's dream.
32:32I don't want to just be, oh, it's just us two.
32:34It's like, no, us and the kids.
32:35Do you know what I mean?
32:36Well, that's really lovely to hear, you know.
32:37I didn't know that.
32:38Right, yeah.
32:39Keep digging.
32:40Open box.
32:42I just want happiness, and obviously, if I find that here, brilliant.
32:46Do you think you'll find the right person here?
32:48Possibly, yeah.
32:49About yourself?
32:50Yeah, I've got hope.
32:50That date last night?
32:52No.
32:54I might be the one I'm on now.
32:55Possibly.
32:57Cheers.
32:57Yes.
32:59Chin, chin.
33:03Oh, that was the one that I didn't really like.
33:04Yeah, it was what I didn't really like.
33:16Can I say something?
33:18You look lush together.
33:20Oh, thank you.
33:21It was definitely a perfect date.
33:23I enjoyed it, yeah.
33:25Very good, love.
33:26Much appreciated.
33:27Thank you so much.
33:28It's almost like we'd known each other anyway.
33:30That was very natural.
33:33Would you like to go on another date?
33:35Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think we should.
33:37Cool.
33:38Yeah, that'd be good.
33:39Me too.
33:40Me too, banging.
33:41Nice.
33:44In terms of, like, the personality and everything, he was exactly what I was wanting.
33:48Well, I had a fun time.
33:50Me too, yeah.
33:51I'm not sure that I felt a spark, so I'm hoping the more that I get to know him, fingers crossed, that that will come as well.
34:00We really did come matchy-matchy.
34:01Yo, we hit the vibes.
34:03Perfect.
34:04And the gold jewelry.
34:06Love it.
34:07It has to be gold.
34:07It has to be, right?
34:08It has to be gold.
34:38Yeah, like, I'm a water baby.
34:41I like water.
34:42I'm a paddler.
34:43Oh, God.
34:44I watch you swim while I'm sat on the air like that.
34:46Isn't it?
34:47All right?
34:47Do you want another drink?
34:49Don't splash me.
34:50We're all right.
34:51You soaked me.
34:53Oh, baby.
34:55Stop that.
34:56No.
34:57Do you like ham?
35:08Do you like Iberian ham and tomato bread?
35:11Yep.
35:11Are you a meat eater?
35:12Yeah.
35:13Yes.
35:13You?
35:14Yeah.
35:14Cool.
35:15My mum wouldn't be happy about that, but yeah, I am.
35:18Does she not know?
35:18No.
35:19Does she not know?
35:19No.
35:20Oops.
35:22I think now's a good time.
35:23When you first go through separation, you're not yourself.
35:26Your head's a bit scrambled, and you're getting yourself back up on your feet.
35:29It's a salmon, salmon, I can't pronounce it.
35:32Salma-fero?
35:33Sal.
35:34Salma-fero.
35:36Well, I mean, it sounded right, didn't it?
35:38Yeah.
35:40A few years down the road now, and I'm in a good place.
35:44Always nice to share that with someone.
35:46I don't always want to just go to bed on my own, or just go home and speak to the dog.
35:53Oh, wow.
35:55Oh, la la.
35:57Yeah, good.
35:57Yeah, lovely.
35:59I think everyone's more relaxed in a holiday atmosphere, so getting to know someone, you
36:03get to sort of find out more about them and get to know, hopefully, a real person.
36:10Do you have to worry about your figure or anything, or are you naturally quite a trim?
36:14I'm not water, Matt.
36:16I do go to the gym quite a lot.
36:19Do you work out?
36:21I do adult cheerleading.
36:24Hold on a minute.
36:27I'm an adult cheerleading superstar nowadays, on top of being a builder and a dad.
36:37Do you have like little...
36:37No, no one uses pom-poms.
36:39At first, when you tell them about it, they think you're joking, or it's a wind-up.
36:43Then you've got to show them, you know, your videos and your photos, and then they're like,
36:47OK, right, you are serious.
36:50What, um, are you a flyer?
36:53I have been a flyer, yeah, I've stood up, and they put me up, and I've done it all that.
36:57Oh, my God!
36:58Um, I'm backspot, I can be bass.
37:02Bass, yeah.
37:04How do you know the names?
37:04Do you know something about it?
37:06No, my daughter used to do it.
37:08Did she really?
37:08Yeah, yeah.
37:09Yeah, so did mine, that's how I got into it.
37:10I was asked to make the kids laugh, especially my two, and I just thought it'd be hilarious.
37:16So I do it for them, but I also get such a buzz out of it, I do it for me as well.
37:20I love that, though.
37:21That's cool, yeah, like, you can do something like that.
37:24Because I've never, ever, like, imagined a man to do that.
37:33So, what you're looking for, like, long term?
37:36Yeah, I've done my messing around, really.
37:39I was in a relationship from the age of, what, 21 to 28?
37:43So that was, like, most of my 20s.
37:45So I know a lot more about myself now, and, obviously, I've learned from my past relationship
37:50what I'd want out of a new relationship.
37:54Do you know, like, wanting, like, a bit of honesty as well, like, with people?
37:57Like, that's, like, my biggest peeve, I think.
38:01I wear my heart on my sleeve.
38:03You need to be able to speak to me and tell me how you're feeling.
38:07I don't need to be guessing, second-guessing, reading in between the lines.
38:10I do worry that I won't find somebody that I can trust.
38:16It's almost like leading someone on, I guess, isn't it?
38:19Yeah.
38:19If you're not being honest, yeah.
38:21Yeah.
38:23Have you always been honest in your relationships?
38:25Um, in the past, yeah, I was, um, yeah, I wasn't, to be honest.
38:33What do you do for work?
38:44So I sell luxury cruises.
38:46Oh, do you?
38:46Yeah.
38:47I've travelled a lot, so I'm lucky that I can talk about it as well, so...
38:51I don't think I've ever met anyone.
38:53Sounds like luxury boat experiences.
38:55Yeah, yeah, I'm back.
38:57Not boat, ship.
38:58Shit.
38:58I deal with high-end clients.
39:03I mean, I can't say a figure, but they're a lot of money.
39:05Not anything that I'd have fooled, anyway.
39:08I've travelled a lot.
39:10My brother lives in Melbourne, so in Australia.
39:13Hong Kong, Singapore.
39:15I've done, like, Borneo.
39:17I've done quite a lot of America.
39:19Vegas.
39:19Have you been to Vegas?
39:20No.
39:21I did it for my 30th, weirdly, yeah.
39:23Yeah.
39:23I got taken to Dublin for my 30th.
39:25Whatever partner I end up with will hopefully come travel with me as well.
39:32Well, I want them to, but they better.
39:36Where else have you been in the world?
39:39I'm interested.
39:40I'd like to hear.
39:41I went to Prague for a stag day.
39:43Yeah.
39:44And I thought I was going for, like, beachside experience, pools, this, and the other.
39:48What, in Prague?
39:49Yeah.
39:49And you packed your swimmers and your trunks and your t-shirt.
39:53Beached out, everything like that.
39:54I'm ready, duh, duh, duh, duh.
39:55Yeah.
39:56Yeah.
39:57Holidays are great.
39:58I'd love to go and see the world and travel, but equally, I'm self-employed.
40:02So, unless someone's going to pay for that kind of lifestyle, I don't see that happening.
40:06I like things that challenge me.
40:08You know every space you can.
40:10So, that's in Nepal.
40:11Italy.
40:12Italy?
40:13Mm.
40:13No.
40:14Oh, my God.
40:15You mean Naples, babe?
40:16Oh, okay.
40:19I get lost leaving the motherland.
40:24Are you a needy person at all?
40:31You're not needy?
40:32Not really, no.
40:33If I need you, I need you.
40:35But I'm not really needy.
40:36Oh, yeah.
40:36We touched about how I'm really insecure about my weight and the bullying that my weight came
40:42with and stuff.
40:43And she made me feel really beautiful in the moment.
40:46So, how would you cope my neediness?
40:49Well, just to comfort you, to speak to you, to ring you.
40:53I've had previous partners dull my shimmer 100% in my shine.
40:57And if anything, Chelsea kind of bigs me up on it, which was really nice.
41:00You're cute, though.
41:01You're welcome.
41:03You're so welcome.
41:08As their time at the beach club comes to an end, Lauren and Chelsea have just hours before
41:14they head home.
41:15But before they zip up their suitcases, there's one last thing to decide.
41:21This is nerve-wracking, you know.
41:23I know.
41:23I don't know if she likes me, though, so I'm scared.
41:33I do like being showered with a compliment, because I've not had that in a very long time,
41:37or if at all.
41:38So, she's been an angel.
41:40So, this date has started very well.
41:43This is a real holiday romance.
41:45But do you want to see each other again once you're back in the UK?
41:52Yeah.
41:53Yeah.
41:53I do.
41:54Yeah.
41:55Do we see you look with a kiss?
41:57There we go.
41:59I didn't exactly expect to find somebody who I would want to have a connection with.
42:04But I'm glad I found you.
42:07Thanks.
42:09One more thing for me to do is to call your transport.
42:11Come on, Sissy.
42:15Come on, girlies.
42:16Have fun.
42:17Take care.
42:18Geordie and a mank.
42:19Geordie and a mank.
42:20It's kind of explosive.
42:22Are we in?
42:23Are we ready?
42:26Ciao.
42:29The removal of Annas and boot, yeah.
42:31No, that's not, no.
42:32Not yet.
42:33No.
42:33After a few drinks, it probably will be.
42:35Dot, dot, dot.
42:36To be continued.
42:38Yeah.
42:46Do you follow football or anything?
42:48My dad was a footballer.
42:50Oh, was he?
42:50Yeah.
42:51What, FAMO?
42:52Not massively FAMO.
42:53Right.
42:53Yeah, he played for a few teams.
42:55So, I've always been brought up with football.
42:57Yeah, I love football.
42:58Would you support?
42:59No, I don't.
43:00What?
43:00Why?
43:01I'm just not built that way.
43:03Do you, Lou?
43:04Yeah.
43:05Oh.
43:05How would we like to do the bill?
43:09I don't mind doing half if you want to do halves.
43:11Oh, the gentleman's thing, isn't it?
43:12I don't mind paying my way.
43:13No, you're cool.
43:14Elmo was really, like, attentive.
43:16He was, like, talkative.
43:19He was funny.
43:20Thank you so much.
43:21Lovely to meet you, babe.
43:22Oh, you didn't have to do that.
43:24It's been lovely, though.
43:26Like, things for me that are really, really important.
43:29And he had really, really good values.
43:32Would you do it again?
43:34Yeah.
43:34Yeah, like, probably, maybe as friends, do you think?
43:38But he wasn't well-traveled, and that's a major thing for me.
43:42He's lived in a bit more of a closed life than I ever want to live.
43:46Like, I'm more of a free spirit.
43:48I want to go out, and, like, I feel like he's more of a homeboy.
43:52Sometimes, for me, it's more of a spark that you have
43:54when you first meet someone, and I didn't feel that.
43:56You're more of a grower.
43:58Well, OK.
44:02I might get that printed somewhere.
44:06That's what I look for in someone.
44:07Like, someone that, yeah, wants to, like, travel the world with me
44:11and do new experiences.
44:13Yeah, lovely to meet you.
44:14Take care.
44:15You know, do mad things together,
44:17because that's what, yeah, that's what it's all about, innit?
44:21The quest goes on!
44:23I have a little surprise for you.
44:40Yeah?
44:40I'm going to take you to a really special area
44:42where you can have your dessert and your cocktail.
44:44It's going to be fun.
44:45OK.
44:45Come with me.
44:47Had such a lovely day.
44:48The setting is great.
44:50The vibe is great.
44:52Change of scenery.
44:53Perfect.
44:54Thanks.
44:55I suppose it did feel a little bit of a spark.
44:59There's the sea over there.
45:01Smell it.
45:03Smell it.
45:04George does give boyfriend material vibes, yeah.
45:10He had a lot of chat.
45:11We had a laugh.
45:12There was no quiet, sort of awkward silences
45:16or anything like that.
45:17It was just really easy.
45:19Cheers.
45:20Yeah, cheers.
45:22Well, I don't know whether he did fancy me or not.
45:26You have to look in the eyes, you know?
45:28Cheers.
45:29Certain experiences that I've had in the past with men
45:33that I don't really know how to read them,
45:37so you sort of...
45:38It's just really hard.
45:40Do you want the strawberry?
45:42No, I'm all right.
45:43I'm not going to get...
45:44I'm not going to get emotional,
45:46because I think you get your hopes up, don't you,
45:48a lot of the time.
45:49I don't want to get hurt.
45:53I don't know.
45:54The more I talk about it, I don't know.
46:04Next time, the Beach Club closes its doors in Stein.

46:19What the heck?
46:20That is so sweet.
46:22When you've had that done to you,
46:24oh, my God, it's, like, huge.
46:26They have one last chance to dip their toes into love.
46:30Oh, gosh.
