00:00Welcome to the First Dates Beach Club, where a fresh group of singles is arriving.
00:05What's in your bag? Are you moving it? Bucket and spade. I've got my pink bikini.
00:09Here, some will dive in head first.
00:11I'm going to put my fingers in his mouth later.
00:13Are you?
00:14What are they doing to me, eh?
00:15While others struggle to stay afloat.
00:18Where's he gone? He's gone.
00:19There's the ick.
00:20First dates might lead to seconds.
00:22Where's the kiss?
00:23You did not.
00:23Yes.
00:24And with new arrivals comes a sea of possibilities.
00:27Can I be second date?
00:28This is what the sun does to people, Fred.
00:30But when the sun sets on their time at the beach club, will this be more than a holiday romance?
00:35Wow.
00:36Marriage, kids, where are you at?
00:38Woo!
00:40Previously on First Dates Beach Club.
00:42I don't eat meat. I don't. I'm vegetarian.
00:45Why are you looking shocked?
00:46So you don't like gammon?
00:48Absolutely not, no.
00:50Lauren and Rose connection was a little undercooked.
00:53Do you want to see us again?
00:55Not in that way.
00:56Okay. Perfect.
00:57But with so many juicy options on the menu.
01:00I need your number before you go, though.
01:02We have to meet up and have a drink.
01:03There's always another cut of romance ready to be served.
01:07Can I be second date?
01:08One door does close and another one will open.
01:16Welcome to First Dates Beach Club.
01:27Not in the first Dates Beach Club is at the beginning of the end of the day.
01:28Please see, we're staying through tonight.
01:28Well, in the next day, we're there.
01:29There's a couple of things that are going on today.
01:29We're at the next couple of things.
01:29Right?
01:33Here, I got to come home.
01:34You're the one who's going on today.
01:34You're the one who's going on.
01:41Oh.
01:47You're all the best.
01:48The other people are going on today.
01:49I thought I was going to be your first date.
01:51So did I. I just thought that.
01:53I thought I was, like, expecting it to be you.
01:56I know, so did I.
01:57I got whisked away.
02:01I've never been asked out, really.
02:03Like, I'm not a serial dater, but I want to be kind of thing.
02:05Like, I want to find my person.
02:08Can I be your second date?
02:11Hopefully you're my forever one. Yeah, your forever date.
02:13Maybe. I'd say that. Yeah.
02:14I would like that. Yeah, same here.
02:25I'd say that.
02:32I'd say that.
02:33Hello, hello.
02:34Buenos dias. Buenos dias Charlie.
02:38Buenos dias, Nelly.
02:41I get high fives.
02:42I'm glad you're full of energy, because today it's gonna be all System Go.
02:46We have so many daters, and you guys have to be on your A-Games today.
02:49Woo, I'm ready.
02:50Merlin, we are ready. Got extra stock behind the bar.
02:53More ice than you can shake a sticker.
02:54Brilliant.
02:56Let's make it happen for our daters, because at the end of the day, we want them to find love.
03:00I'm excited.
03:01Let's do it.
03:03Yeah.
03:11First to make waves at the beach club is 23-year-old underwriter, Sydney.
03:19Hi, I've arrived.
03:23After one too many claims on her heart from bad boys, she's come to the beach club, hoping to finally
03:30ensure herself a keeper.
03:32What are you hoping from this date?
03:34I'm hoping to get a good connection, and hoping that we bounce off each other, and, yeah, that the energies
03:41match.
03:41Come with me.
03:43I've kind of been pretty rubbish finding my own, finding someone myself.
03:49Merlin, we'll fix you up.
03:50Thank you, Fred.
03:51So, I'm intrigued to see who's been found for me.
03:55Firstly, can I fix you a drink?
03:56I think I'll have the love you colada, please.
03:58Oh, yeah. We're on the beach.
04:00Perfect.
04:00Coladas.
04:01Yes.
04:03How old are you, if you don't mind me asking?
04:05I'm 23.
04:0623?
04:06Yeah.
04:06Right, yeah.
04:07What is it like dating these days?
04:09I don't know. I think with the internet, it just becomes, like, obsolete finding someone, because it always feels like
04:14there's always something better.
04:15That's interesting.
04:17I'm super picky.
04:18I hate when guys pose with pictures, like, of money up their arms, or, like, just money anywhere.
04:24Someone holding a massive fish.
04:27Don't love that.
04:28Surely you're missing that initial tickle when you've caught someone's eye across a room.
04:33Yeah.
04:33You know, or just even while sitting at the bus stop kind of thing.
04:36And guys in super skinny jeans, whatever's comfortable for you, but it's just not my thing. I hate a skinny
04:42jean.
04:43There you go.
04:44Wow. Thank you so much.
04:45Colada.
04:45Gorgeous. Thank you.
04:47Yeah, pleasure.
04:48My type is definitely someone who's very tall. I just love having a tall man around. Usually someone who's, like,
04:58of mixed descent or fully black. And also I really like when a guy has, like, a nerdy obsession with
05:07something and they constantly tell you about it. I really like that.
05:13Hoping to impress with his special interest is 27-year-old Judah.
05:19Here we go.
05:20Hey, Judah. Nice to meet you.
05:22Nice to meet you.
05:23Tell me, what do you do for a living?
05:24I'm an audiovisual technician, but I also side hustle with voiceovers and narration and stuff like that.
05:30You've got a very striking voice.
05:33My voice might be my secret weapon.
05:36Could you do a voiceover there for the beach club?
05:39Hopeful singletons come in search of finding love. The females in their beautiful gowns, skin glowing.
05:49I don't know. I've lost my train of thought.
05:52Come with me.
05:54Hi.
05:55Hello.
05:56Hey, man.
05:57Nice to meet you. I'm Sydney.
05:59Judah.
06:00Nice to meet you.
06:01Welcome. Please grab a seat.
06:03Can I get you a drink, sir?
06:04Anything non-alcoholic. A mocktail would be great.
06:07Do you not drink?
06:08No.
06:09Not a drinker?
06:09No. I don't like the taste of alcohol.
06:11To be honest, neither. That's why I always get a cocktail. So it's like super sweet.
06:14Wicked sweet tooth. Yeah.
06:15Yeah. Hell yeah.
06:16Massive sweet tooth. Oh my gosh.
06:19What do you do?
06:21Well, I'm an AV engineer. Audiovisual engineer. What do you do?
06:24I work in insurance.
06:25Oh, yeah?
06:27I do flirt, but I don't know if it's all that obvious sometimes.
06:31Where's your necklace from, by the way?
06:33If I feel warm enough to throw out some rogue opinions, some controversial takes, then I
06:40think we're in good waters.
06:41Okay, question. Do you agree or disagree that dogs should wear clothes?
06:46No.
06:47No?
06:48No, that's really odd. Why? Do you think they should?
06:51I feel like there's a gap in the market.
07:00Keeping their eyes peeled for someone to sweep them off their flip-flops are newcomers, Charlotte
07:06and Gemma.
07:07Hello, baby. What? Thank you.
07:10It's all right. What's your name, by the way?
07:11It's Gemma.
07:11Gemma. Merlin. Nice to see you.
07:12Hello, nice to meet you.
07:13And Charlotte.
07:14Charlotte. Lovely to meet you, Charlotte.
07:16Nice to meet you. This is amazing, by the way.
07:17A pinko colada to match your outfit.
07:20Cheers.
07:20Cheers.
07:21Cheers.
07:22Cheers.
07:22Cheers.
07:23As a 34-year-old facilities administrator, Charlotte has high standards for everything,
07:29from work to her wardrobe.
07:31Get the feathers in.
07:33She's hoping to see if love under the sun can meet her carefully curated expectations.
07:39I feel like I am looking for a future husband.
07:43Finding that wrong person.
07:45Wrong person. I've done plenty of that. I worry about that.
07:50This is totally out of my comfort zone and I am going to go for it. I don't feel like
07:56I want to mess around anymore.
08:06I'm 23, by the way.
08:07Right.
08:07How old are you?
08:0827.
08:08Okay. So, yeah, I was in a relationship from 15 to 20. And then that kind of ended.
08:15I spent so long being one half of a pair and I really just wanted to be whole in myself.
08:22The past, like, maybe year, I kind of was like, I kind of want to be in love again. I
08:27kind of want to commit to one person and just, like, dedicate myself to that.
08:32So, that's why I'm here, because I have had no luck looking for myself. What about you?
08:39A friend said, why not try? I think I have high standards. They know it. Why don't you?
08:44Yeah.
08:46You'll find someone who can do it.
08:47You know what I mean?
08:48My dream woman would probably have something striking about their face. High cheekbones or piercing eyes.
08:59Yeah, they've done well.
09:00Nice.
09:00They've done very well.
09:03How about you?
09:04Good, thank you.
09:05How's your conversation?
09:06Yeah, good so far.
09:07Very good.
09:08Good match.
09:09Shall I take you to the restaurant?
09:10Yes, please.
09:10Yes, please.
09:11You look lovely, by the way.
09:13Thank you. So do you.
09:16It's beautiful here, isn't it?
09:18Absolutely beautiful.
09:19Yeah.
09:20Love it.
09:21Fiery force from Sevenoaks, Gemma, has come to Spain looking for her forever frontman to turn up the volume with.
09:29What have you asked for?
09:31I asked for Liam Gallagher.
09:32Did you?
09:32Yeah.
09:34I can't see him.
09:35No.
09:38I love oasis, I love music, I love going to gigs.
09:42I want someone to, like, spend their time with me and do things with me and just, yeah, just have
09:47fun.
09:48If you can get Liam Gallagher, then it's absolutely fine.
09:51What did you ask for?
09:53Danny Dyer.
09:54Who talks like me?
09:57I wonder who it is.
09:59I thought, oh, God, do I put my sunglasses up for so I could have a little gander.
10:02I know.
10:03He's quite nice though, isn't he?
10:05What, the waiter?
10:06Yeah, he's all right.
10:06He's all right, actually.
10:17Oh, gravity was not working at that time.
10:22Oh, my gosh.
10:25How are you feeling about this whole experience?
10:27Were you nervous?
10:28Yes.
10:29I think when I saw you, I...
10:31You were like, it's fine.
10:32Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:33Yeah, I was like, oh, he dresses well, no skinny jeans.
10:37You don't have to worry about any of that with me.
10:39We are.
10:40Thank God.
10:42In terms of personality and what I'm looking for, someone who's kind, easygoing, probably
10:48a little bit more organized than I am because planning things is not my forte.
10:53Do you have any tattoos?
10:56No, not yet.
10:56No.
10:57Not yet.
10:58Life's better with routine.
11:00I am going to evaluate that when I turn 30.
11:03Okay.
11:04You're quite structured to the things that you do.
11:08I'm 27, but I feel like I'm 60 years old and I've felt 60 since I was 15.
11:16So, I'll review facial hair, hairstyle, and tattoos at birth.
11:23At 30?
11:24You think in three years' time you'll figure that out?
11:28On a Friday night, you'll probably find me at a jazz club where they shush you for talking
11:32too much with the same snacks, the same time.
11:35Having a great time.
11:39Oh, my God.
11:41Okay, wait, we need to focus now.
11:43Stop talking.
11:44No, I'm joking.
11:46Usually, if a guy can make me laugh a lot, he's already kind of winning.
11:50I think I'm going to go for the cod.
11:52Are you a fish and chips person?
11:53No, not fish and chips.
11:55No, no, no.
11:56Okay.
11:56So disgusting.
11:57Don't disrespect me like that.
11:58Excuse me.
12:02So, let's have a little look.
12:04Should we try and figure out who is Danny Dyer?
12:08And Liam.
12:08And Liam.
12:10There's Liam Gallagher.
12:11That's Liam and Dalia.
12:12Where is he?
12:15With the swagger of a Britbook frontman, 39-year-old builder Elmo has come to the beach club hoping
12:22to cement a chart-topper of a connection.
12:25How are you, Elmo?
12:26Oh, I'm fantastic.
12:28You've got a great hairstyle.
12:29Oh, man.
12:30Love it.
12:31Inspired by yourself.
12:36Where do you date?
12:37Been a lot online.
12:38Does it work?
12:38Some success, some tragedies.
12:40Yeah.
12:41I've come to the beach club to find maybe the one and maybe it's my time to settle down.
12:50I'm getting all hot.
12:52I'm getting all hot.
12:52Is it the sun?
12:53Is it the sun or is it just the sun?
12:54No, I'm getting a sweaty bum hole.
12:56Oh, my God.
12:57Let me take you to the sun bed.
12:59Right.
13:00Yeah.
13:01We're going to set you up on a date.
13:03Like, just look cool.
13:04Yeah.
13:04Look cool.
13:05Has anyone told you you look like a guy like a brother?
13:07A witch?
13:08A guy like a brother.
13:09Never.
13:11Yeah, you look like a guy like a brother.
13:12All right.
13:17This is lush.
13:20What is it about Danny Dyer though?
13:22I don't know.
13:22I've always liked it.
13:23I've always liked a Cockney accent.
13:26Quite sexy, isn't it?
13:32With the charm of Danny Dyer and the chat to match.
13:35All right, my babes.
13:36How are you doing?
13:37You all right?
13:3831-year-old roofer George is hoping to raise the roof and a few pulses.
13:43How are you doing?
13:44Very good.
13:45Yourself?
13:45Yeah, very good.
13:46Thank you very much.
13:46Nice to meet you.
13:47You too.
13:49Nice smile.
13:50It's nice.
13:51Yeah.
13:51You're going to go on a date.
13:53Yes.
13:53Here we go.
13:54Do you know what you're looking for?
13:56Hopefully, love.
13:57Being in the sun, a bit of sangria, everyone feels better in the sunshine.
14:02Brings the best out of people.
14:03Positive attitude, mate.
14:04Yes.
14:04Come with me.
14:05I'll take you this way.
14:06I look cool.
14:08Really cool.
14:13Oof.
14:20After dipping their toes in yesterday, Lauren and Chelsea have returned to the beach club for their first proper date.
14:27Looking good together, innit?
14:29Lauren and Chelsea.
14:30This is going to be really interesting because yesterday when they met, it was very fun, fun, fun.
14:34So this is now working out whether they actually have a connection.
14:38So I'm really intrigued to see what it is that was there on the daybed because I want to get
14:43to know you as a person.
14:44Yeah, I know.
14:45I'm with you on that.
14:46Yeah, because I feel like...
14:47I'm happy to explain that.
14:48I'll find a bit more about you too.
14:50I'm 28.
14:51I'm a paint decorator.
14:54I do a lot of high-class work for quite a few footballers in the Cheshire area.
15:00You get to meet a few wags, which you can't complain about, but work hard, play hard.
15:06I do enjoy it.
15:08In the future, I'm hoping to start my own business.
15:10Have other people working for me.
15:11Yeah.
15:11So then I could have more time with you.
15:13Do you know what I mean?
15:15Smooth.
15:16On a date, I'm smooth.
15:17I've got to be.
15:18I want to get to know you.
15:20Do you know what I mean?
15:20See how things go.
15:21See the connection.
15:22I love a nice smile.
15:24A kind face.
15:25Someone who seems caring.
15:28Happy.
15:28Is what I'm attracted to.
15:30What are your cards, right?
15:31We're getting married tomorrow.
15:32Do you know what I mean?
15:34Or when?
15:35Maybe.
15:36We'll see.
15:40Hi, guys. How are we doing?
15:41Not too bad.
15:42Really good. How are you?
15:43I've actually come to tell you that we're going to take you to a vineyard
15:45and you're going to try the local wine.
15:47No way.
15:48Yeah.
15:49That is my dream date.
15:50Well, follow me and I will take you back.
15:53Oh, my God.
16:01Would you say you're like a thrill seeker?
16:03Like, would you do like skydiving, bungee jumping, those kind of things?
16:08No, I'll watch from a safe distance.
16:10You're like, no, thank you.
16:12I value my life.
16:15I used to suffer really badly from social anxiety.
16:18Almost.
16:20Throwing up.
16:21But sometimes I'm just like, life's too short.
16:23Like, so what?
16:24If something goes wrong, at least I did it.
16:25Shorten it.
16:26Yeah.
16:27Yeah.
16:28At least I'll still be young and beautiful when I'm gone, you know?
16:32In that casket, looking.
16:34Perfect.
16:36I overcame social anxiety by going on dates.
16:39It was a bit of trial by fire.
16:41Yeah.
16:41I responded to a prompt on Hinge.
16:45First message was, suck your mum, you miserable prick.
16:55And that was the end of that.
16:58When I die, I want to be a tree.
17:00Right.
17:01Something that lasts, what are those trees that, like, last forever?
17:04Like, oak trees?
17:04But they're kind of ugly.
17:05They don't want to be that tree.
17:06Maybe like a cherry blossom.
17:08I don't know.
17:08I'll think about it.
17:09This might be a good situation to see how far I've come.
17:14So what do you want to happen?
17:15Well, a friend of mine said that she'd like to be made into a diamond.
17:20And I thought, bang.
17:22Love that.
17:23Imagine somebody loses that.
17:25Then somebody will find it and you'll travel a whole new experience.
17:28Boom.
17:29Oh, my God.
17:29Okay, that's actually really, really cool.
17:30It always takes me back to that Kim Kardashian clip.
17:33My diamond earrings!
17:35Kim, there are people that are dying.
17:48You know, guys, today we have a painter, a roofer and a builder all coming for a date in the
17:54beach club.
17:55Awesome.
17:56Wow.
17:56Can they fix the plumbing on my sink, please?
17:58Of course.
17:59Yes.
17:59I've already made a list.
18:00That's great.
18:01We're not going to charge them for anything.
18:03This is what we're going to charge them for their date.
18:05That's it.
18:06That's it.
18:06Keep croco.
18:07Yeah.
18:08You're a builder as well, are you?
18:09A roofer.
18:10Oh, king of traits.
18:12Oh, yeah, definitely.
18:13I'd rather be sitting outside than stuck in an office, I'll tell you that now.
18:16Cool.
18:17Wonder where we actually go on our date, I guess.
18:20Unless this is it and we have too many of these and we fall in love.
18:23Me and you.
18:23Do you know what I think?
18:26Hello.
18:27You all right?
18:28How are you?
18:28I'm really good.
18:30Has anyone ever told you you look like a young Jerry Halliwell?
18:32All the time, yeah.
18:34Right, well, tell me what you want, what you really, really want then.
18:37I really, really want a beer, please.
18:38A beer for you, of course.
18:39It's not even that really good, is it?
18:47I've been in love at first sight loads of times.
18:52Do you want a drink?
18:53I'm good.
18:54I'm good, sir.
18:55I am a bit of an over-thinker, but I just need to let it all come naturally, to be
19:00honest,
19:01because otherwise I'll say something stupid or stutter or something and I don't want that to happen.
19:06Hello.
19:07You all right?
19:07My name's George, you all right?
19:08Hi, George.
19:09It's Gemma.
19:09Hi, yeah, Charlotte.
19:10Nice to meet you both.
19:12Oh, he's straight in.
19:16Charmer.
19:18You had a date yet or not?
19:19No.
19:20Not yet.
19:20He walked me in, walked me over there and I thought he was introducing me to a lad.
19:23What's going on here, mate?
19:25Are you on one of the cocktails?
19:27Long Island.
19:27Long Island.
19:28Long Island.
19:29Yeah, they're lethal, aren't they?
19:30Yeah.
19:30I'll have one more and then I better go and take a bit softer, yeah.
19:33Yeah.
19:35Right.
19:35I'm going to go back to my bed.
19:36Adios.
19:36See you later, girls.
19:37See you later.
19:45After some top shelf flirting yesterday, Lauren and Chelsea have come to a local vineyard to
19:51see if there's more to their connection than just a sparkling first impression.
19:56You want that getting over there?
19:57If I first plant, I first plant, just catch us when I fall.
19:59I'll try.
20:00Oh, you will be.
20:02Hey.
20:02Hello.
20:03Hello, how are you?
20:04Not too bad.
20:05She's having falling for us.
20:07Carlos.
20:08Chelsea, lovely to be here.
20:09Chelsea, really nice to meet you finally.
20:10Hi, I'm Lauren.
20:11Really nice to meet you.
20:12Nice to meet you.
20:13So this one is Sauvignon Blanc.
20:14That's my favorite.
20:16If you please take your glass and smell it, what do you smell?
20:20Wine.
20:21Wine.
20:23There's definitely a spark and energy there and I think there's just a lot I get to know about
20:27each other.
20:29That's very smooth.
20:30You like it?
20:31Yeah, it is.
20:31Very smooth.
20:32It goes down the gullet very nicely.
20:34Try it with the juice.
20:35Yeah.
20:36Okay.
20:37With the next one I'm very excited to be able to give you the taste.
20:41Lovely.
20:42Not for me that, not for me.
20:43I like a bit of cheddar.
20:45I'll leave you now to be able to enjoy a bit of the cheese, some of the meat.
20:48Please enjoy.
20:49I'll be back.
20:50Muchas gracias.
20:53I've never been on a date with someone before.
20:55Really?
20:56Yeah, no one's ever asked me out.
20:58Rejection is something that I've experienced all my life.
21:00Weight was a real big issue for me.
21:01Yeah.
21:01Everyone always looked at me as the fat girl.
21:03For someone to be like, oh my God, you're beautiful.
21:05Well you are beautiful, so don't let anyone ever say anything else.
21:08Try and get that laugh going.
21:10You've got an amazing laugh though, I can't lie.
21:12It is really loud though.
21:14Yeah, but you put a smile on anyone's face, don't you?
21:17So it's all right.
21:17That means a lot.
21:18It's worth the noise.
21:19Is it?
21:22Humour to me is very important.
21:24I love a rubbish dad joke.
21:26They've got to have the same kind of personality as me.
21:29Hope for a laugh and never know what's going to come out of my mouth more than anything.
21:34An attack by flies now.
21:35They do fly roam.
21:36Shit.
21:46A lot of people misread about me because I'm like this a lot of the time.
21:51But if the vibe is right...
21:54Then you're going numb.
21:55I'm crumping.
21:57Doing all that.
21:58Yeah.
21:58Get you on step up.
21:59My...
22:00I would definitely say I'm a very spontaneous person.
22:03So I kind of need someone who's going to be able to match that.
22:07I had a little bit of a step up moment.
22:09In one club.
22:11Shut up.
22:11One time.
22:12Half eleven.
22:13The vibe starts to pick up.
22:15I'm approaching crump.
22:17Crump.
22:18I'm right here.
22:20Now we're vibing.
22:21They've formed a semi-circle around me.
22:23And we're going.
22:24And then I heard...
22:26We're soaring.
22:28It's time to go.
22:30I want to hate.
22:32But any high school musical nostalgia, I'll be there.
22:35Not while the vest is about to come off.
22:58Let's go.
22:59Let's go.
23:00Let's go.
23:00Let's go.
23:07Let's go.
23:08And I talk to myself.
23:10Cheers.
23:11Good luck.
23:14The talking to myself thing, people don't get it, but I make the most sense.
23:19Right.
23:21Let's just stand up and let her out.
23:23Is he talking to himself?
23:25Yeah, I think he is.
23:26Is he?
23:27Yeah.
23:28What is he telling himself?
23:29I don't know.
23:30I think maybe affirmations.
23:32Like, I've got this.
23:33I'm amazing.
23:34This is awkward.
23:36Nah, it's fine.
23:37What are you all about?
23:39I'm a great day.
23:41I'm a great day.
23:42I'm a great day.
23:42I'm a great day.
23:43I'm a great day.
23:44Driest mouth ever.
23:46Shut up, dude.
23:49How would you tell if I fancy her?
23:51I'd smile quite a lot anyway, but they'll be...
23:54I'll have a big grin, I guess.
24:00Hello, you all right?
24:01Hello, you OK?
24:02Nice to meet you again.
24:02You all right?
24:03You've met already at the bar?
24:04Yeah.
24:05It's like a second date.
24:06Yeah?
24:07Already, yeah.
24:08Going well.
24:10You've got lovely eyes.
24:11So have you.
24:11Really blue.
24:12Yeah, so are yours, but you had your glasses on out there.
24:15Yeah, so you wouldn't see.
24:16Yeah, no, I didn't see.
24:17What do you do?
24:18Roof art, yeah.
24:20Always out in the sun.
24:22There is a misconception of standing on a scaffold,
24:25girls walk past and you start whistling and shouting and stuff,
24:27but nah, that's not me.
24:29Is that why you're so tanned?
24:31Yeah.
24:32I normally go for more of the guys that are good with their hands,
24:36as in...
24:38That sounds so bad.
24:41A bit of like a manly man, really, that gets stuck in.
24:45Have you got tan lines?
24:47No.
24:48Haven't you?
24:48No.
24:49Not really.
24:50Where, then?
24:51Do you go topless?
24:52Topless, yeah.
24:52It's got to be topless.
24:53Otherwise, I end up looking like a...
24:55What do I call a squishy?
24:56Right, enough about me, anyway.
24:58I need to stop talking about myself.
25:00No.
25:00We're getting to know each other, aren't we?
25:02Yeah, of course.
25:02What's your favourite colour?
25:03What's your favourite flower?
25:05I don't know, you know.
25:05I've never even thought about the slavies.
25:07Is that a joke?
25:08Nah.
25:08Yeah.
25:09Get a question out there.
25:10Done.
25:12I feel like you need to have that banter.
25:16Like, even if you take the mick out of me, and I'm able to take the mick out of you,
25:19like, I love that.
25:20That is how it should be.
25:22I can't believe how blue your eyes are.
25:24They are well blue.
25:26I've never met anyone with eyes as good as mine, really.
25:28Really?
25:29Yours are really blue.
25:31They're like werewolves.
25:31Funny you should say that.
25:32Why?
25:33I've got a hairy chest.
25:34You know?
25:45You go out a lot then?
25:47Yeah, yeah, I do, with my friends and yeah, yeah.
25:50I go to gigs and go to my local pub and they've got, like, band nights.
25:54I do love a beach club.
25:56I love the whole beach club vibe.
25:58I love getting dressed up for a beach club.
26:00I love all of that, so that's, yeah, that's why I thought, yeah, this is for me.
26:05Happy to hear you're supporting your local pub as well.
26:06I know.
26:07I do support.
26:08I think I propped the bar up.
26:09Do you?
26:11I'd rather meet someone, like, normally, or just, like, meet them out or something like
26:16that, but you don't anymore.
26:17I've always wanted to walk into a pub and they go, oh, the usual.
26:20The usual.
26:20Yeah.
26:21And I've got that now.
26:22You've got it?
26:23I'm like, yeah.
26:24Brilliant.
26:25A guy with a personality more than anything, someone that's, like, got something about
26:29them, got a bit of, you know, a bit of swag.
26:32I just want someone that matches my energy.
26:35Elmo, are you ready for your date?
26:37You look like a cold spring here, ready to just...
26:39Yeah, yeah, I mean, I've probably got too much energy.
26:42You don't have far to go, though.
26:43Yes, there you are.
26:45Yeah, brilliant.
26:46How you doing?
26:46You all right?
26:47I'm Elmo.
26:48Elmo, you all right?
26:50Yeah, good, thank you.
26:51What do you do?
26:51Builder.
26:52Oh, are you?
26:53Self-employed, yeah.
26:53Do residential extensions.
26:55Oh, nice, all right.
26:56So, yeah.
26:57You need a builder?
26:58I need a builder.
27:01Like, someone who's, like, bit, bit like, like that.
27:11Do you even like a cup of tea?
27:13No.
27:13I used to get tea when I was a kid to stick biscuits in.
27:16Oh, yeah.
27:17You've got to do that.
27:18That's it.
27:18That's literally it.
27:18Guys, where are you starting?
27:20Oh, amazing.
27:21That's the pork belly.
27:23Enjoy it.
27:24Cheers.
27:26That's nice, eh?
27:29What were your past relationships?
27:31I've been single three years.
27:34Really?
27:34Yeah.
27:35You?
27:37About six, seven months.
27:40Walking away from a relationship that's not right is very difficult.
27:45How long were you in a relationship for?
27:47Ten years.
27:48Ten years?
27:49I was seven.
27:49Was it?
27:50Yeah.
27:51I have been cheated on.
27:54It's just awful, really.
27:57And it does take a while to get over that.
28:01Do you like being in a long-term relationship?
28:04Is that what you're after?
28:05That's it, yeah.
28:07Yeah, I just don't want to keep doing a lot of chop and change.
28:10I'm getting older now.
28:12I know.
28:13Once I think you've had things happen and you've played Sherlock Holmes,
28:19I find that it's really hard to get out of that and to build that trust up.
28:23But I think you have to realise that that new person, that's a start fresh.
28:28So, you can't tart everybody with the same brush.
28:33What about you?
28:34I don't really want to, like, mess around.
28:35I don't really enjoy being single, to be honest.
28:38No.
28:39Hopefully, I will find somebody that doesn't want or need to do that.
28:45And it's just the little things as well, isn't it?
28:48When you're with somebody, like at night and, like, just chilling.
28:54Someone to do nothing with.
28:55Yeah, that's what...
28:57Yeah.
28:57I think that's where you start to miss someone, isn't it?
29:00Yeah, I think it might as well be nice to go on holiday with someone.
29:03Oh, yeah.
29:04I love holidays.
29:05Yeah.
29:06Same.
29:11You got any kids or anything?
29:12Yeah, so I've got a little girl.
29:15OK.
29:15Yeah.
29:15How old?
29:16Eleven.
29:17Have you?
29:18Yeah, well, I've got two little girls.
29:20Aw.
29:22There's a lot of boxes to tick when you've got, like, I have two girls and things like that
29:27and working around someone else with kids as well.
29:29So, it's not as easy, I don't think, as it would have been in me in the early 20s.
29:36But I did that and that didn't go too well in the end either.
29:41How long have you been single for?
29:43Sort of best part of six years.
29:44It's just nothing's stuck, really.
29:46Right, right, OK.
29:48So, yeah.
29:48How long have you been on your own?
29:50Probably, like, about four years.
29:53Sometimes I think, like, it's me.
29:54Like, my best friend says, like, I am, like, a butterfly and everybody that I've ever wanted,
30:00that I've ever met, always wants to clip my wings.
30:03You know, stay in all the time and not be social anymore and be a traditional mum.
30:10Like, you know, things like that, which I'm not. I'm never going to be like that.
30:14Married.
30:14No, no.
30:15Never been married.
30:16Have you?
30:17Yeah.
30:17Have y'all?
30:18Yeah, done all that.
30:19Have y'all been there, done it?
30:21Yeah.
30:22Yeah.
30:22I was married, I think, for seven years.
30:24You can't change life.
30:25It's already mapped out for you.
30:27You've just got to roll with it.
30:28I've got two fantastic daughters out of it.
30:30So, zero regrets.
30:34Are you ready for your date?
30:35Yes.
30:35Come with me.
30:36This way.
30:48So, I've been single for two years now and I just feel like I'm ready for, like, my end goal.
30:52When I grow old and laugh, I want someone to laugh into my coffin.
30:56Fair enough.
30:56You can do it soon.
30:57What about you, though?
30:59Me and relationships don't really get along.
31:01They always end up falling for the wrong person.
31:04You're right.
31:05Everyone thinks I'm dead soft and hard-faced, but no.
31:10When you get to know me, I'm dead soft.
31:13I've got a big heart.
31:15Definitely say I've been unlucky in love up to now.
31:19I've been single for a year.
31:20OK.
31:21The girl I was with before that, she was bisexual.
31:25We were together for a couple of years.
31:28When you're a lesbian and they end up cheating on you with a man, it breaks you.
31:34You go into somebody that can give you something that I can't.
31:38Don't feel like you're worth anything.
31:40You feel a bit useless and no matter what you do, you're not good enough for that person.
31:45And it hurts.
31:49I didn't know she was pregnant at the time.
31:51I got back with her.
31:52And you were OK getting back with her?
31:54Just went with the flow.
31:55I became a step-mum at the age of 21.
31:59I was there through the pregnancy, the birth, the lot.
32:01And then we splote when he was three and he's eight now.
32:05So I'd do anything for him.
32:07I love him to bits and he always will.
32:09I wouldn't have the connection with my step-son like I do now.
32:12It was the best thing I've ever been through.
32:16And it changed my life completely.
32:18But for the good.
32:19And you want kids yourself?
32:20Yeah, of course I do.
32:21I see a future with kids, a wife, happy family, own your own house.
32:26Places like this.
32:28You've got an end goal.
32:30Yeah.
32:30About yourself.
32:31Very similar to yours.
32:32I want a wife, I want kids.
32:33And a nice house and a happy family.
32:35Like, I think that's everyone's dream.
32:37I don't want to just be, oh, it's just us two.
32:39It's like, no, us and the kids.
32:40Do you know what I mean?
32:41That's really lovely to hear, you know.
32:42I didn't know that.
32:43Right, yeah.
32:44Keep digging.
32:45Open book.
32:47I just want happiness.
32:48And obviously, if I find that here, brilliant.
32:51Do you think you'll find the right person here?
32:53Possibly, yeah.
32:54About yourself?
32:54Yeah, I've got hope.
32:55A date last night?
32:56No.
32:59I might be the one I'm on now.
33:00Possibly.
33:02Cheers.
33:04Chin chin.
33:07Ooh, that was the one that I didn't really like.
33:09Yeah, it was the one I didn't like.
33:21Can I say something?
33:23You look lush together.
33:25Oh, thank you.
33:26It was definitely a perfect date.
33:28I enjoyed it, yeah.
33:30Very good luck.
33:31Much appreciated.
33:32Thank you so much.
33:33It's almost like we'd known each other anyway.
33:35That was very natural.
33:38Would you like to go on another date?
33:41Yeah, yeah, I think we should.
33:42Cool.
33:43Yeah, we'll be good.
33:44Me too.
33:45Me too.
33:45Banging.
33:46Nice!
33:48In terms of, like, the personality and everything,
33:51he was exactly what I was wanting.
33:54Well, I had a fun time.
33:55Me too, yeah.
33:56I'm not sure that I felt a spark.
33:59So I'm hoping the more that I get to know him, fingers crossed,
34:03that that will come as well.
34:05We really did come matchy-matchy.
34:06Yo, we hit the vibes.
34:08Perfect.
34:09And the gold jewelry.
34:11Love it.
34:12It has to be gold.
34:12It has to be, right?
34:23After a vineyard visit that went from fruity to full-bodied...
34:27It's wrapped.
34:28..a familiar pair returns to the beach club.
34:31Plenty of girls everywhere.
34:32We did it on purpose to make sure that you're not looking too much.
34:36You only have eyes for each other.
34:40Here you go.
34:41Perfect. Thank you very much.
34:45Yeah, like, I'm a water baby.
34:46I like water.
34:47I'm a paddler.
34:48Oh, God.
34:49I watch you swim while I'm sat on the end like that.
34:51Isn't it?
34:52All right?
34:52Do you want another drink?
34:54Don't splash me.
34:55We're all right.
34:56I mean, you soaked me.
34:58Oh, baby.
35:00Stop that!
35:01No!
35:01No!
35:12Do you like ham?
35:13Do you like Iberian ham and tomato bread?
35:15Yep.
35:16Are you a meat eater?
35:17Yeah.
35:46Yeah.
35:47I'm in a good place.
35:49I'm in a good place.
36:17I'm actually quite a trim.
36:18I'm not water, man.
36:20No.
36:21I do go to the gym quite a lot.
36:23Do you work out?
36:25Um, I do adult cheerleading.
36:31Hold on a minute.
36:33What?
36:34I'm an adult cheerleading superstar nowadays.
36:38On top of being a builder and a dad.
36:41Do you have, like, little...
36:42No.
36:43No-one uses pom-poms.
36:44At first, when you tell them about it, they think you're joking
36:47or it's a wind-up.
36:48Then you've got to show them, you know, your videos and your photos
36:52and then they're like, okay, right, you are serious.
36:55Like...
36:55What, um, are you a flyer?
36:58I have been a flyer, yeah.
36:59I've stood up and they put me up and I've done it all that.
37:02Oh, my God!
37:04Um, I'm Backspot.
37:06I can be Bass.
37:07Bass, yeah.
37:08How do you know the names?
37:09Do you know something about it?
37:11No, my daughter used to do it.
37:13Did she really?
37:13Yeah, yeah.
37:14So did mine.
37:14That's how I got into it.
37:15I was asked to make the kids laugh, especially my two,
37:19and I just thought it would be hilarious.
37:21So I do it for them, but I also get such a buzz out of it.
37:23I do it for me as well.
37:25I love that, though.
37:26That's cool.
37:27Yeah, like, you can do something like that.
37:29Cos I've never ever, like, imagined a man to do that.
37:38So, what are you looking for, like, long term?
37:41Yeah.
37:41I've done my messing around, really.
37:44I was in a relationship from the age of, what, 21 to 28.
37:48So that was, like, most of my twenties.
37:50So I know a lot more about myself now.
37:52And, obviously, I've learned from my past relationship what I'd want out of a new relationship.
37:58Do you know, like, wanting, like, a bit of honesty as well, like, with people?
38:02Like, that's, like, my biggest peeve, I think.
38:06I wear my heart on my sleeve.
38:08You need to be able to speak to me and tell me how you're feeling.
38:11I don't need to be guessing, second guessing, reading in between the lines.
38:16I do worry that I won't find somebody that I can trust.
38:21It's almost like leading someone on, I guess, isn't it?
38:24Yeah.
38:24If you're not being honest, yeah.
38:26Yeah.
38:27Have you always been honest in your relationships?
38:30Um, in the past, yeah, I was, um...
38:34Yeah, I...
38:37Wasn't, to be honest.
38:47What do you do for work?
38:48I sell luxury cruises.
38:50Oh, do you?
38:51Yeah.
38:52I've travelled a lot, so I'm lucky that I can talk about it as well, so...
38:56I don't think I've ever met anyone that sells, like, luxury boat...
39:00Yeah, yeah, I'm back. Experiences.
39:01Not boat, ship.
39:04I deal with high-end clients.
39:08I mean, I can't say a figure, but they're a lot of money.
39:10Not anything that I'd have fooled, anyway.
39:13I've travelled a lot.
39:14My brother lives in Melbourne, so in Australia.
39:18Hong Kong, Singapore.
39:20I've done, like, Borneo.
39:22I've done quite a lot of America.
39:23Vegas.
39:24Have you been to Vegas?
39:25No.
39:26I did it for my 30th, weirdly.
39:27Yeah.
39:28I got...
39:29I got taken to Dublin for my 30th.
39:31Whatever partner I end up with will hopefully come travel with me as well.
39:37Well, I want them to, but...
39:39They better.
39:41Where else have you been in the world?
39:44I'm interested.
39:45I'd like to hear.
39:46I went to Prague for a stag day.
39:48Yeah.
39:49And I thought I was going for, like, beachside experience.
39:52Pools, this, that, and that.
39:53What, in Prague?
39:54Yeah.
39:54And you packed your swimmers and your...
39:56I was near to.
39:56Your trunks and your t-shirt.
39:58Beach towel, everything like that.
39:59Yeah.
40:00Yeah.
40:02Holidays are great.
40:03I'd love to go and see the world and travel, but equally, I'm self-employed.
40:07So, unless someone's going to pay for that kind of lifestyle, I don't see that happening.
40:10I like things that challenge me.
40:13You know every space you can.
40:15So, that's in Nepal.
40:16Italy?
40:17Italy?
40:18Mm.
40:18No!
40:19Oh, my God.
40:20You mean Naples, babe?
40:21Oh, okay.
40:24I get lost leaving the motherland.
40:33Are you a needy person at all?
40:35You're not needy?
40:37Not really, no.
40:38I need you.
40:39I need you.
40:39I'm not really needy.
40:41Are you?
40:42We touched about how I'm really insecure about my weight and the bullying that my weight came
40:47with and stuff, and she made me feel really beautiful in the moment.
40:51So, how would you cope my neediness?
40:54Well, just to comfort you, speak to you, ring you.
40:58I've had previous partners dole my shimmer 100% in my shine, and if anything, Chelsea kind
41:03of bakes me up on it, which was really nice.
41:05You're cute, though.
41:06You're welcome.
41:08You're so welcome.
41:13As their time at the beach club comes to an end, Lauren and Chelsea have just hours
41:18before they head home.
41:20But before they zip up their suitcases, there's one last thing to decide.
41:26This is nerve-rocking, you know.
41:28I know.
41:30Yeah, I fancy it.
41:34I don't know if she likes me, though, so I'm scared.
41:38I do like being showered with a compliment because I've not had that in a very long time,
41:42or if at all.
41:42So, she's been an angel.
41:45So, this date has started very well.
41:48This is a real holiday romance, but do you want to see each other again once you're back
41:54in the UK?
41:57Yeah.
41:58Yeah.
41:58I do.
41:59Yeah.
42:00Do we see it with a kiss?
42:02There we go.
42:04I didn't exactly expect to find somebody who I would want to have a connection with, but
42:09I'm glad I found you.
42:14One more thing for me to do is to call your transport.
42:16Come on, Sissi.
42:19Come on, girlies.
42:21Cheers.
42:21Have fun.
42:22Take care.
42:23Geordie and a monk.
42:24Geordie and a monk.
42:25It's kind of explosive.
42:27Are we in?
42:28Are we ready?
42:28Yeah.
42:31Ciao.
42:34The removal of honors and boots, yeah.
42:36No, that's...
42:37No.
42:37Not yet.
42:38No.
42:38After a few drinks, it probably will be.
42:40Dot, dot, dot.
42:41To be continued.
42:43Yeah.
42:51Do you follow football or anything?
42:53My dad was a footballer.
42:54Oh, was he?
42:55Yeah.
42:56What, FAMO?
42:57Not massively faint, right?
42:58Yeah, he played for a few teams, so I've always been brought up with football.
43:02Yeah, I love football.
43:03Would you support?
43:04No, I don't.
43:05What? Why?
43:06I'm just not built that way.
43:08Really?
43:09Yeah.
43:10Oh.
43:11How would we like to do the bill?
43:14I don't mind doing half if you want to do halves.
43:16Oh, the gentleman's saying it.
43:17I don't mind paying my way.
43:18No, you're fine.
43:19Elmo was really, like, attentive.
43:21He was, like, talkative.
43:23He was funny.
43:25Thank you so much.
43:26Nice to meet you.
43:27Oh, you didn't have to do that.
43:29That's good.
43:29Been lovely, though.
43:31Like, things for me that are really, really important.
43:34And he had really, really good values.
43:37Would you do it again?
43:38Yeah.
43:39Yeah.
43:40Yeah, like, probably maybe his friends, do you think?
43:43But he wasn't well-travelled, and that's a major thing for me.
43:47He's lived in a bit more of a close life than I ever want to live.
43:51Like, I'm more of a free spirit.
43:53I want to go out, and, like, I feel like he's more of a homeboy.
43:57Sometimes, for me, it's more of a spark that you have when you first meet someone, and I didn't feel
44:00that.
44:01You're more of a grower.
44:03Well, okay.
44:07I might get that printed somewhere.
44:10That's what I look for in someone, like, someone that, yeah, wants to, like, travel the world with me and
44:16do new experiences.
44:17Yeah, lovely to meet you.
44:19Take care.
44:20You know, do mad things together, because that's what, yeah, that's what it's all about, innit?
44:26The quest goes on!
44:43I have a little surprise for you.
44:44Yeah.
44:45I'm going to take you to a really special area where you can have your dessert and your cocktail.
44:49It's going to be fun.
44:49Okay.
44:50Come with me.
44:52Had such a lovely day.
44:53The setting is great.
44:55The vibe is great.
44:57Change of scenery.
44:58Perfect.
44:58Thanks.
45:00I suppose it did feel a little bit of a spark.
45:04There's the sea over there.
45:06Smell it.
45:07Smell it.
45:09George does give boyfriend material vibes, yeah.
45:15He had a lot of chat, we had a laugh.
45:18There was no quiet sort of awkward silences or anything like that.
45:22It was just really easy.
45:24Cheers.
45:25Yeah, cheers.
45:27Well, I don't know whether he did fancy me or not.
45:31You have to look in the eyes, you know?
45:33Cheers.
45:34Certain experiences that I've had in the past with men that I don't really know how to read them,
45:42so you sort of...
45:43It's just really hard.
45:45Do you want the strawberry?
45:47No, I'm all right.
45:48I'm not going to get...
45:49I'm not going to get emotional, because I think you get your hopes up, don't you, a lot of the
45:53time.
45:54I don't want to get hurt.
45:58I don't know. The more I talk about it, I don't know.
46:09Next time, the Beach Club closes its doors in style.
46:15From exciting new arrivals...
46:17What's your name?
46:18Tia Maria.
46:19I'm Anita Lai Down.
46:20Oh, my God.
46:21...to second-daters putting their hearts on the line.
46:24The heck?
46:25That is so sweet.
46:26When you've had that done to you, oh, my God, it's, like, huge.
46:31They have one last chance to dip their toes into love.
46:35Oh, gosh.
46:36This whole dating thing is really scary.
47:06I'm aé³¥.
47:09This whole dating problem is really scary.
