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.
00:27That'd be your 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?
00:36Marriage, kids, where are you at?
00:39Previously on First Dates Beach Club.
00:41Not while the vest is about to come off.
00:45Sidney and Judah dance their way to a second date.
00:48I'm approaching...
00:52Now we're vibing.
00:53Banging.
00:54Charlotte and George started to find their rhythm.
00:56You have to look in the eyes, you know.
00:58You get your hopes up, don't you?
01:00I don't want to get hurt.
01:01But Charlotte was left wondering if it was only going to be a one-hit wonder.
01:05The more we talk about it, I don't know.
01:08Welcome to First Dates Beach Club.
01:23It's actually quite cold, isn't it?
01:25Yeah.
01:25Keep your blanket up, don't you?
01:27What, do you want to get in with me?
01:28Do you want to get in the blanket?
01:29Go on, then.
01:30Go on, then.
01:32Yeah, my hands feel cold, but...
01:34Come on.
01:34I've got a warm heart.
01:37I've had a lovely date.
01:38Yeah, I have too.
01:39Yeah.
01:40And would you like to go on a second date with me?
01:45Yeah, I would, yeah.
01:46Good to see you, yeah.
01:47Yeah, it's been nice.
01:48It couldn't have really gone much better, to be honest.
01:50I thought it went really well.
01:52I'm just looking forward to a second date to see how well that goes.
01:55Food was good.
01:57And drinks were nice, company was good.
01:59Yeah.
02:00All right, but that's that, then.
02:01Second date's all good.
02:02Yeah.
02:16As Fred opens the doors for the final day of the summer,
02:20he's getting a little help getting into the rhythm of the day ahead.
02:24Oh, Frederico, I'm learning from Inco.
02:27Oh.
02:27She's been teaching me.
02:28Tell me about the apples.
02:29Tell Fred about the apples.
02:44One more day to make love happen, guys.
02:46Yes, we're ready.
02:47Let's go.
02:47Let's go.
02:48So don't go look at me without looking your eyes.
02:52First to strut into the beach club is Alina,
02:56who's packed her sunnies, her smile, and a five-year plan.
03:01I want to have three kids, and I want the first one to be a boy.
03:04Then two years later, I want to have a girl.
03:07Then two years later, I want to...
03:09I don't mind about the third one, actually.
03:11I want two dogs, and I want to call one of them Hamish,
03:14and I want to call one of them Alfie.
03:15But it's not like I've blown my life out or anything.
03:19Hey, Alina.
03:20So pretty here.
03:21What a smile.
03:24I'm a dentist.
03:25Oh, there you are.
03:26Yeah.
03:27I feel like they're my best feature.
03:30So tell me, what kind of man are you looking for?
03:32I think I'm really picky.
03:34I've got a long list.
03:35I want tall, really nice eyes, a really good personality,
03:41someone who can make me laugh.
03:42Oh, wow.
03:43When I tell guys my lifeline, I think they get a bit scared,
03:47and I can see that it probably is a bit intimidating.
03:51Someone with nice legs, someone with nice hair, like light hair.
03:55So you've got a little book with all your tick boxes.
03:58I don't think it's a little book.
04:00I think it's probably quite big.
04:03I mean, I'm sure if the right guy came along,
04:05that I could, you know, maybe only have one dog instead of two.
04:10OK, well, come with me.
04:11You're the first arrived.
04:13Oh, amazing.
04:14Oh, teeth are so important.
04:15I don't know how I forgot teeth.
04:17All right.
04:18Take a seat.
04:20All right.
04:20Well, let's see what comes through the door.
04:22Very nice.
04:22Nice to see you, by the way.
04:23Merlin, you are?
04:24Alina.
04:24Nice to meet you.
04:25Welcome, Alina.
04:26What would you like?
04:27Please, can I get a mojito?
04:29Yes, you may.
04:30Do you make a good mojito?
04:31Do I make a good mojito?
04:32I don't know.
04:32You'll have to tell me once I've made you.
04:33I'm a bit of a mojito snob.
04:39Lovely.
04:42This is so pretty.
04:44It's brilliant, isn't it?
04:45How's your mojito, by the way?
04:46Amazing.
04:47It works.
04:47It's really good.
04:48Brilliant.
04:49Well, thank you, Alina.
04:50Hot on Alina's heels to the beach club.
04:53You okay, hun?
04:55It's Brighton hairdresser Albert, who's had more first dates than fringe trims, but he's
05:01still waiting for the one to really blow him away.
05:05I've been on a million dates.
05:06I've been on literally a million dates.
05:08Everybody from, like, the South Coast, the whole of the South Coast.
05:12I've probably Eastbourne to Southampton.
05:15I've run out of people.
05:16Yeah, hopefully there's some in Spain.
05:18You're looking great.
05:20Glad you're ready to party in the beach club.
05:22Yeah.
05:22So excited, yeah.
05:23Bit nervous, but good.
05:24Are you?
05:24Yeah, a little bit.
05:25Do you have any expectations for today?
05:27A husband?
05:29Oh, a husband.
05:29Yeah, maybe.
05:30Really?
05:31No.
05:32We'll see, we'll see.
05:33A lot of the people that are around my age in Brighton are, like, in relationships,
05:37couples, settled, you know, puppy, in Hove, in a really beautiful flat.
05:43And I'm like, that's what I want.
05:45Have you been single for long?
05:47Um, about five years.
05:49I have had one boyfriend.
05:51Right.
05:51Yeah.
05:52What happened with him?
05:53Um, wasn't the one.
05:55Yeah.
05:56Not met the right one yet.
05:57All right.
05:58Follow me.
06:01Hey.
06:02My hair's not behaving.
06:04What is this?
06:05No, I just feel like...
06:07I look like I'm wearing a wig.
06:09Oh, you look so pretty.
06:11Oh, my God, I'm so...
06:12I'm so nervous.
06:13I don't know what he's gonna look like.
06:17Alina, it's so troubling you.
06:18Hi.
06:18This is Albert.
06:19Hi, babe.
06:20Oh, nice to meet you.
06:21Nice to meet you, babe.
06:23You all right?
06:24Yeah, good, how are you?
06:25Yeah, good, thank you.
06:27Wait, are you my date?
06:28No, no, no.
06:29I'm gay, honey.
06:31You look gorgeous, by the way.
06:32That was kind of so...
06:33That was so cute.
06:34I was...
06:34That's hilarious.
06:36Oh, my God.
06:37I was just on FaceTime to my friend as well, and I was just like, what's the face like?
06:40I was like, I need to practice a face that I make.
06:42Oh, my God, that is too funny.
06:42If I don't fancy the guy.
06:45So, what do you do?
06:47Um, so, I'm a hairdresser.
06:48Oh, nice.
06:49And then do, like, wigs and extensions and stuff as well.
06:51Oh, my God.
06:51I've air-wrapped my hair today.
06:52But then, look, I've come out and it's all dropped.
06:54Oh, no, it looks gorgeous.
06:55Do you think it looks...
06:56Yeah, it's all, like, flippy.
06:57I love it.
06:57You look amazing.
06:58I'm just...
06:59Oh, stop.
07:00You look so good.
07:01How a guy dresses is really, really important to me.
07:05I absolutely love a guy in a shirt and some chinos.
07:11And I don't even mind a guy with glasses.
07:13You know, when he's got those really cute little, like, round-spec glasses.
07:17I think they look so nice.
07:21And straight off the shelf is Alina's date, 35-year-old Luke.
07:26I've tried the dating apps for many years and, you know,
07:28have been in relationships, but it's never seemed to work out
07:31or go the distance.
07:32So, yeah, I'm putting my faith in first dates and hopefully it goes well.
07:37And, you know, what a better setting than being out here in sunny Spain.
07:41So, what about your dating life, though?
07:43Um, yeah, well, I've been single for about two and a half years.
07:47I've had girlfriends in the past, but, you know,
07:48they've never gone past that kind of two-, three-year mark.
07:52So...
07:52Why that?
07:53Um, good question.
07:54I think maybe in the past I've been possibly a little bit closed off.
07:59I had a great mum and dad and two older brothers who were great too.
08:03And there was never an atmosphere of,
08:05you shouldn't talk about your feelings.
08:06So, I don't know why I have this inability to express my feelings sometimes.
08:11But, um, I'm 35 and I'm trying to find the love of my life,
08:14so clearly something's gone wrong over the years.
08:16So, you're going to have to be open?
08:17Yeah, exactly. Can you help me?
08:19Yes, of course.
08:20OK, great.
08:20Follow me.
08:24Take a seat to you.
08:25How are you?
08:26Yeah, good, thank you. Luke.
08:27Luke, Merlin.
08:28Very nice to meet you, Luke.
08:28Welcome.
08:29What do you feel like?
08:30Have you got anything on draft beer?
08:31I do, yeah.
08:32I definitely think that's my day.
08:34You reckon?
08:34What did you say your type was, like...?
08:36Like him.
08:37Oh, he's making him laugh.
08:39He seems nice.
08:39He's also good-looking.
08:40He's really good-looking.
08:42OK.
08:42I feel like he gives straight energy, though,
08:44so I think he's definitely...
08:46I don't think he's my day.
08:47Oh, my gosh.
08:50He's gorgeous.
08:52Would you like to meet him?
08:54Yeah, let's go.
08:55Oh, my God.
08:55Good luck, babe.
08:57So exciting.
08:58You look gorge.
08:59Good luck.
08:59All right, do I look OK?
09:03How's my hair?
09:03You look beautiful.
09:05You look gorgeous.
09:05OK.
09:06Don't change a thing.
09:07You're perfect.
09:10It looks like it's your lucky day.
09:11Hi.
09:12You all right?
09:12Have fun.
09:13Nice to meet you.
09:14Nice to meet you.
09:15How are you?
09:16Good, how are you?
09:17Good, thank you.
09:18OK, amazing.
09:19You smell lovely.
09:19Oh, thank you.
09:20Cheers.
09:21Wow.
09:21You're very Scouse.
09:22I'm Scouse?
09:23Yeah, you're not Scouse.
09:24No, I'm from Manchester.
09:25Oh, right.
09:25I thought you had a bit of a Scouse vibe to you, but no.
09:28Where are you from?
09:29I'm from Manchester.
09:30Oh!
09:30Well, from London originally, but live in Manchester,
09:32live in the northern quarter.
09:33Oh, I like the northern quarter.
09:34Yeah, it's cool, isn't it?
09:35Yeah, yeah.
09:35It's cool.
09:35I'm sorry, I'm like squinting.
09:37So I'm going to put my glasses on.
09:39Go on.
09:39You've got really nice eyes, by the way.
09:41Thank you, yeah.
09:41Cheers.
09:41Well, you look great, by the way.
09:43Honestly, I didn't know what to wear.
09:45No, I like your outfit.
09:46Oh, I like yours too.
09:47I literally went to the Trafford Centre with my sister on Friday night
09:50and just went into every single shop and bought so much.
09:54You're going to be doing a lot of returns when you get back there.
09:55I've got so many.
09:56Do you want to come to the Trafford Centre with me?
09:58Yeah, why not?
09:59Give me your receipts and just let me handle it.
10:00Yeah, please.
10:01Yeah, yeah.
10:01I feel like you've already ticked a box.
10:03Oh, nice.
10:04Yeah.
10:04Someone to do my return.
10:06Shall I take you to the restaurant?
10:08We can carry on these dates over there.
10:09Yeah.
10:09After you.
10:10I'd say since I entered my last relationship, which was about nine months ago,
10:16I've been on around about ten dates.
10:21One got to a third date.
10:23The problem is I get the it quite easily.
10:26And I mean, it's such a shame because in my head I thought he'd ticked all the boxes.
10:29Oh, thank you, Fred.
10:31I got the ick from this guy because his teeth were quite yellow.
10:34And when I asked him if he'd ever thought of whitening them, he said no.
10:43After a promising first date yesterday, Sydney is back for round two with Judah.
10:49Eager to see if that spark can turn into sparkle.
10:53He definitely gives the vibes that he could be boyfriend material.
10:58Good.
10:59Love your outfit.
11:01Yours too.
11:02I'm not sure that I felt a spark.
11:05It takes me a while to kind of feel that usually.
11:08But I'm definitely interested to see if that will develop.
11:12Look at this.
11:14What's this?
11:15Oh, Judah, what the heck?
11:18That is so sweet.
11:20I took a walk this morning.
11:22It was just little store after little store after boutique after boutique.
11:27And I saw the necklace and I thought, yeah, I think this would look good on her.
11:32Oh, my God.
11:35That is so nice.
11:37That is so nice.
11:38Oh, yeah.
11:39Hell yeah.
11:39Oh.
11:41This is what you do when you're in love.
11:43So sweet.
11:43I love it.
11:44He's in love.
11:44He is so nice.
11:46So nice.
11:47He is in love.
11:48I still fancy her.
11:50I can only speak for myself.
11:53But I'd like to think the feeling is still mutual.
11:56Pop it on now.
11:57Why don't I?
12:01Oh, my God.
12:02That is so nice.
12:15Have you been to Spain before?
12:16A few times.
12:17I do a lot of work in Ibiza.
12:19I work in radio production.
12:20Oh, cool.
12:21And we have a club over there.
12:22And we film it.
12:22It gets live streamed.
12:23Going there again this year.
12:25I work in the music industry.
12:26And there is a certain party element to that.
12:29And I guess there is a certain part of me that doesn't want to give that up if I was
12:35in a full time committed relationship.
12:37Or there was a certain part of me that didn't want to give that up.
12:41Are you one of those Ibiza boys?
12:42No, I'm not.
12:43I'm not like a turbo lad in my neon orange Nike top and my man bag.
12:47I'm really not.
12:48What are those really chunky mushroom trainers that you wear?
12:50Yeah, I know what you mean.
12:51No, I'm not like that.
12:51And your little Gucci man bag.
12:52You will never catch me in a Gucci handbag.
12:54Don't worry about that.
12:55Thank God.
12:56What do you do?
12:57I'm a dentist.
12:57Oh, nice.
12:58You've got cracking teeth to be fair.
13:01As soon as I do say to a guy that I'm a dentist, normally one of the first things they
13:05ask
13:05me is, can you do my teeth?
13:06Can you sort my teeth out?
13:08So I think that's probably one of my plus points.
13:11You're having Invisalandon, aren't you?
13:13Oh, God, yeah.
13:14For fuck's sake.
13:15As soon as I...
13:16Called me out for that.
13:18As soon as you smiled, I thought, oh, my God, she's...
13:20Oh, no, you must do that all the time, like, pluck people's teeth as soon as they smile.
13:23Teeth are so important to me.
13:25Well, thank God I'm getting them done.
13:31It's nice to be in the sun and chilling.
13:33Good company.
13:34Of course.
13:35Love that.
13:36Yeah.
13:36I'm also, like, not really a morning person.
13:39I remember you saying yesterday, like, you're such a morning person and I'm really not.
13:42Really?
13:42I mean, it's not early, but...
13:45It's really not early.
13:47I've been enjoying my own company for a long time.
13:51That's yours?
13:53Oh, what did you get?
13:54Yes, yes.
13:55I'm in some really solid routines for myself.
13:58I'm happy with my life as it is.
14:01Ooh.
14:02Wow, amazing.
14:04It would be nice to share some of that with someone and I think Sydney could be that someone.
14:12I didn't know what to wear today.
14:14This is nice.
14:15I really like this.
14:16I like this a lot.
14:18You're looking 10 out of 10, as usual.
14:21As usual.
14:23Would you try?
14:25Can I try?
14:26Come on.
14:27Yeah.
14:29Cheers.
14:29Cheers.
14:30Cheers to a beautiful day and a lovely day.
14:35Amen.
14:44Oh, come on, you don't look like you sought to be nervous.
14:46God, I am a nervous type.
14:47Are you?
14:48Yeah, unless I'm in drag, then I'm not nervous.
14:50Oh.
14:50Where do you perform?
14:51I don't perform that much anymore, but I used to in and around Brighton.
14:54Oh, Brighton.
14:54Yeah, cool.
14:55Yeah.
14:55As a little boy, I would, like, do, like, performance and always put wigs on and be, like, showing my
15:00whole family, like, some dance routine I've made up.
15:03You're single in Brighton?
15:04Mm-hmm.
15:04I've just, yeah, not really met anybody that's on the same, like, wavelength as me really there.
15:09I just really want to be my most authentic self in every way.
15:15I think that is something in gay dating that comes up a lot.
15:19You know, if I'm, like, I want to wear a crop top and have a handbag, then I will.
15:23Like, if I was younger or older, I maybe would, like...
15:25You look very young, though.
15:26Oh, thank you.
15:26I'm 30.
15:2730?
15:27Oh, you are.
15:28There's a lot of Botox, so...
15:31But, um...
15:31If I could date someone that was comfortable just being, like, you do you, you know, you do what you've
15:36got to do,
15:37the dream boyfriend would be someone that finds me funny and wants to listen to it.
15:40Are you ready?
15:42Are you ready?
15:42Are you ready?
15:42With Albert on the lookout for someone who'll enjoy the full in-flight experience,
15:48his cab and crew date, Matt, has just landed on the Beach Club runway.
15:52How are you, Matt?
15:53I'm good, thanks. How are you?
15:54You're very good.
15:55I can never get past the second date.
15:57So I'm like, what's going wrong here?
16:00Is it me? Is it them?
16:01Is it a mix of the two?
16:02So taking the control out of my own hands is kind of the reason I'm here.
16:09You look like an explorer.
16:11I know, I feel like Lara Croft.
16:14It's an adventure.
16:15I was going to say Livingstone, but Lara Croft, so it is.
16:19I've been single for around two and a half years.
16:22I've enjoyed being single, but I feel like it's now time to stop playing the field and settle down.
16:28And I'm at that age now where I want to make memories of somebody and keep those memories going on
16:35for hopefully the best of my life.
16:38And your date has arrived.
16:39Oh, amazing.
16:40It's at the bar.
16:41Can you see?
16:42I can't, there's a leaf in the way.
16:43Oh!
16:44Convenient.
16:45We're going to go and meet him.
16:46Okay.
16:46Hey.
16:47How are you?
16:47Hey, how are you?
16:48Nice to meet you.
16:49I'm Albert.
16:50Nice to meet you, Matt.
16:51Nice to meet you.
16:53Are you nervous?
16:54I am.
16:55You too.
16:56Can I get you a drink?
16:57Erm, what are you drinking?
16:58I've got a mojito.
16:59Oh, I don't do a mojito.
17:00Erm, can I get an espresso martini, please?
17:02Yes, you can.
17:03That would be my other choice.
17:04Espresso martini is one of my faves.
17:06Where are you from?
17:07I'm from Staffordshire originally, but I live in London now.
17:10Where is Staffordshire?
17:11It's like, near Avant Towers.
17:13I don't do rice.
17:14I have no idea.
17:15Literally have no idea.
17:16Right, can I go now?
17:18Oh, wait, do you?
17:19I love theme parks, yeah.
17:20Oh, no.
17:21Yeah, I'll just stay in the food court.
17:22And I'm with the tattoos, by the way.
17:24Yeah, you've got a few.
17:25Yeah, I do.
17:26I do enjoy a tat.
17:27What does Himbo mean?
17:28Himbo is my hair salon.
17:30I own a hair salon in Kemptown.
17:31That's convenient.
17:32Brighton.
17:33Are you Brighton?
17:34Yeah, Brighton.
17:34I'm not far from me now.
17:35I live in London.
17:36Whereabouts in London?
17:36I live near Heathrow, West London.
17:39What do you do?
17:39I'm cabin crew.
17:41Oh, cool.
17:41And a part-time drag queen.
17:43Me too.
17:43Nice.
17:44What's your name?
17:45Tia Maria.
17:46Nice.
17:47I'm Anita Lie Down.
17:48Oh my God, work.
17:50Anita Lie Down.
17:51That is so good.
17:52So, where do you perform?
17:53Do you perform in London?
17:54I don't perform that much, because I'm always away, but I'm here, there and everywhere.
17:57I don't really perform, like, to be honest, much anymore.
18:00Like, I definitely, like, stick to just, like, looking pretty, to be honest.
18:05Well, you're doing that very well.
18:06Thanks.
18:07Oh, you fur.
18:09Hello, Fred.
18:10This is off to a great start, isn't it?
18:13Shall we carry on inside?
18:14Let's.
18:15Follow me.
18:22Do you think you're picky when it comes to meeting people?
18:24Yeah.
18:25I think so.
18:29I'm so picky.
18:30You are.
18:31But then, in my last relationships, I feel like I settled.
18:34And then, that's why now I'm like...
18:36Don't do that again.
18:37I can't, yeah.
18:38No.
18:38If you'd asked me when I was 16, I would have told you that I would have been married by
18:4225.
18:44Now I'm 27 years old, and I just don't know what's going to happen.
18:48And it's scary, especially when, for someone like me, I'm such a planner, and I've got
18:53all this love to give, and I want to start this life with someone, but I've just not found
18:58them yet.
18:58Have you been single for a lot?
19:00I've been single for about two years now, yeah.
19:03Okay.
19:04I thought you were going to say two months.
19:05It's about two days now.
19:08Yeah.
19:08Yeah, no, we broke up in 2023, so that's two years, isn't it?
19:11Yeah.
19:13I think we were both wanting it to work so bad and kind of ignoring the quite obvious
19:17differences in our personalities.
19:19And, yeah, the last time I saw her was actually the last day of Glastonbury, 2023, when we
19:24were watching Elton John together.
19:27So, yeah, Rocket Man's been forever ruined for me.
19:30I was with her for about three years.
19:32Our personalities just clashed quite a lot and didn't match.
19:35It's hard, isn't it?
19:36Yeah.
19:37That literally happened with me.
19:38Like, we broke up and then got back together.
19:42Yeah.
19:43Because we just were like, oh, but I think...
19:45I guess you know, you like each other, don't you?
19:47And you're like, you don't see those differences.
19:49And you've got a history, don't you?
19:49Yeah, exactly.
19:50I worry that I'm in a vicious cycle of thinking that I'm too old to meet someone.
19:57Finding love would be the absolute dream because I have been in love before and I would
20:03love to be in love again.
20:07I'm actually low-key starving as well, so...
20:09See, I'm not.
20:10Are you not?
20:11Like, I...
20:12Like, because I was so nervous.
20:13Yeah.
20:14I was like, I can't eat.
20:16I literally...
20:16I don't think I ate much this morning.
20:17I had breakfast, but then I literally just, like, chilled by the pool.
20:20And before I knew it, I was like, shit, I need to go and get ready.
20:22So, what's your ideal...
20:23If you weren't on a dinner date, what would your ideal first date be?
20:27Ooh, good question.
20:30Erm...
20:30I love the beach.
20:32So, I love, like, a beach picnic.
20:34Or...
20:35Is that really lame?
20:36I feel like...
20:36I like the idea of that.
20:37I don't know if people are like...
20:38Sandini sandwiches.
20:39Absolutely not.
20:40Oh, no, Brighton's got no sand.
20:41Oh, that's true.
20:42It's pebbles, isn't it?
20:42It's all stones, yeah.
20:43Yeah.
20:43It hurts to sit on, but it's fine.
20:51A lot more chill today.
20:54Looking forward to it.
20:55Hello.
20:57After gelling with George yesterday...
21:00Hi.
21:01Oh, thank you.
21:03Charlotte is back for a second date.
21:06And they both got the memo.
21:09Oh, they're matching.
21:11They're matching.
21:11Oh, yeah, look at this.
21:13Oh, hiya.
21:15Matching colours.
21:16Yes.
21:17Yeah, I think she fancied me.
21:20Hopefully.
21:20Well, she said yes to a second date, so...
21:23Must be something there.
21:25It's so nice today.
21:27That's good.
21:28I'm looking forward to it.
21:29That's cute, that little co-ord.
21:31Cute?
21:32Yeah.
21:33I thought there was a bit of a spark there.
21:34I like to wear a co-ord.
21:36I love a co-ord.
21:37And I'm in a co-ord as well.
21:39Yeah.
21:39Yeah, there's compliments going about and whatnot.
21:41What is that aftershave again?
21:43I don't know about to.
21:44Yeah, it's really nice.
21:45Yeah, it's nice.
21:46Yeah, no, it's nice.
21:47So, I don't think you'd really compliment someone as much
21:50if you're not really flirting.
21:52How many sprays do you put on?
21:54I don't know.
21:55Do you just put, like, a couple on?
21:56Or were you, like...
21:57I put a few on.
21:57I sprayed my top first and then I sprayed myself.
21:59Do you? Yeah.
22:00I was worried that you're not going to be able to smell it, but...
22:03Yeah, you can definitely smell it.
22:04Yeah, you can definitely smell it.
22:06Because you're really tall, you have really big hands.
22:09Oh, my God, your hands are massive.
22:13Yeah.
22:13I had to rush to do my nails on Friday.
22:15I had to get my eyebrows done.
22:17I had to get my eyelashes done.
22:17All within, like, a day or something.
22:19Yeah.
22:19You look very nice.
22:21I thought, well, do you know what, if this is going to be my future husband...
22:24Might as well make an effort.
22:25Yeah.
22:26First impressions really count.
22:28Yeah.
22:28I guess it does scare me a little bit when I've been in relationships and...
22:31Maybe that person has known exactly what they want and they have a timeframe for it.
22:35You know, like, I want to be living in this house with you in six months' time.
22:40And I'm thinking, oh, God, I don't know what the hell I want yet.
22:42So, like, my mind starts racing and I overthink things.
22:46Maybe I, like, I should go with the flow a little bit more.
22:49You've got to do these things in life.
22:51Sometimes I think I need to kind of break down that barrier of...
22:55..being scared to take the next step.
23:08So, what is your heritage there?
23:10Um, so, my mum's family...
23:12Sorry, I'm going to finish my mouth for it.
23:14I'm spitting all over you.
23:19You're like, I'm wearing the croquette, thanks for that.
23:21Um, so, my mum's family are, like, Indian and English mixed.
23:26OK.
23:26Born and raised, like, Roman Catholic, born and raised in the UK.
23:29And my grandparents moved over, like, um, from India.
23:34In the area of Crawley, it was quite a big Indian community.
23:36So, like, my grandad was, like, you know, known as uncle down at the shops.
23:41And there was, like, you know, loads of people there that we knew
23:43that we thought were family that weren't family.
23:44We always were at my nan's house.
23:46There would always be, like, 20 kids.
23:48We'd all, like, clamber into, like, one massive bed in my nan's back bedroom
23:53and have massive sleepovers all the time.
23:55Like, it was really fun. Growing up was so fun.
23:57How were your grandparents about you coming out and things?
24:01So, unfortunately, they didn't actually get to find out.
24:04Oh, I'm sorry.
24:04Yeah, which is a shame.
24:06My nan had already passed when I was, like, 17.
24:08And then my grandad, he passed when I was maybe...
24:14I think I was... I think I'd just come out.
24:17Like, very early days of coming out. Yeah.
24:19And then he got ill.
24:21I remember once we went into hospital to visit him,
24:24and he just said to me once, he was like,
24:26oh, I like your eyebrows.
24:27I like the shape you're doing with your eyebrows.
24:29He was just staring at me.
24:30And I had, like...
24:31I mean, back then, it was, like, the 2016 brow, like, the sharp.
24:33Yeah.
24:34And I took that as, like, a moment of, like, I see you.
24:37Do you know what I mean? Yeah.
24:38Even though we never talked about it,
24:40I never came out to him.
24:42But I just thought in that moment, I was like, that's him going...
24:45I know you're wearing makeup.
24:47I like your eyebrows. I accept it.
24:48I love you no matter what, so...
24:50Aw, that gave me shivers. That's really beautiful.
24:52Aw. Yeah, he was amazing.
24:54Like, the UK used to be, like, so, like, free-spirited,
24:57and I used to feel safe being me.
25:00Yeah.
25:01And, like, I don't all the time now.
25:05No.
25:05Like, I've got to get to King's Cross for a gig,
25:09and I've got to go, like, full beat,
25:11and I'm absolutely shitting myself to get on the train.
25:14Yeah, I would be, yeah.
25:15So, I was...
25:18called a tranny freak.
25:21And that really, really tore me apart.
25:25And I actually nearly put her in the bin and buried her
25:32and had a good old camp funeral for Anita.
25:38But...
25:39I told my mum this, and she was like,
25:41don't you dare let one person stop you from doing this.
25:47It's difficult.
25:48Yeah.
25:48I definitely forget sometimes when I'm in Brighton
25:50how inclusive it is.
25:53Yeah.
25:53And then when you step outside of it, even not in drag,
25:56just as myself, like, sometimes you realise,
25:58oh, actually, like, there's not always a lot of acceptance everywhere.
26:02Yeah.
26:02That one person isn't gonna make me stop.
26:14I really struggled with breakfast this morning.
26:16Did you? What did you have?
26:17Barely eat.
26:20Um...
26:21I always have grapes on hand.
26:24Grapes?
26:24Yeah, easy munch.
26:26Ooh.
26:28We talked about loads of different things,
26:30but it wasn't ever really flirty.
26:32You can't go wrong with grapes.
26:34Wait, green, red or black?
26:37Usually, if I feel that with someone, that kind of comes in.
26:43Everyone goes on about M&S.
26:45They're overrated, in my opinion.
26:49I don't get along with any of their grapes.
26:52Maybe I'd go to them for green, but, um...
26:58The line between friendship, like, building, like, a friendly energy
27:03and then romance is quite a fine line,
27:06so sometimes it's hard to kind of gauge.
27:08I think it's definitely a learning curve.
27:12Waitrose black sable grapes.
27:18Consistently good as well, yeah.
27:24That's far too big to actually be able to eat that.
27:26Mmm, I'm gonna go.
27:38That was a bad move.
27:39It's no good to make me choke on my steak.
27:45Oh, my God.
27:46I'm not even drunk yet.
27:48Mmm.
27:49But it was a nice surprise when I saw you.
27:52Was it?
27:53Yeah.
27:54I didn't know what to expect.
27:55Do you not?
27:56No.
27:56What did you, like, ask for?
27:57What was your...?
27:58As cliche as it sounds, I asked for you.
28:01Like, I asked for tattoos.
28:02I asked for taller.
28:05Like, the main thing was, like, somebody that can make me laugh.
28:08Yeah.
28:08And you've made me laugh, like, non-stop the whole time.
28:13That's good, cos I'm not trying, so...
28:16I'm joking, obviously.
28:17I am.
28:17I'm obviously trying.
28:20Um...
28:20Are you a serial dater?
28:21Do you go on many dates?
28:23Um, I'm pretty much like you.
28:24I've, like, been on a few, and I can never get past date two.
28:29Like, I don't know what it is.
28:30Like, we have a really good first date,
28:32we have a nice second date, and then it's, like,
28:35the whole, it's not you, it's me.
28:37And I'm, like, again.
28:40I just feel like people wait until the next best thing comes along.
28:44Um, and I wear my heart on my sleeve, um,
28:46and I fall quite quickly.
28:49And I think people get scared of that.
28:52Love's great, it's just so shit as well.
28:55Like...
28:56Like, I love love, I have a lot of love to give.
29:00But it's, it's so shit when it hurts.
29:02Yeah.
29:02I'm ready to settle down now.
29:04Yeah.
29:04And I want somebody who wants that as well.
29:11I love going to galleries.
29:14Um...
29:16Like, live music, uh, hit and miss, I don't go to,
29:19I don't go to much, like, and people,
29:21usually people are quite surprised when I say that.
29:24The whole acoustic environment of music venues
29:28is not that great, so it tends to hurt.
29:31Yeah.
29:31Listening to...
29:32And I can't.
29:33I can't do that.
29:34I'm very particular.
29:36I feel much more comfortable around her,
29:39um, and I think confident that I could see us exploring
29:42more outside the beach club.
29:46Hello.
29:53Would you like to see each other again?
29:59For me, I'm gonna say no.
30:03Personally, I'm really sorry.
30:06I've had such a good time, and I think we got along so, so well.
30:10I think, for me, it's more, like, a friend vibe.
30:13Like, I really, really get along with you,
30:15but I didn't feel like the romantic spark, personally.
30:19I'm really sorry.
30:20That's okay.
30:21That's okay.
30:24I had a great time.
30:26Um, I would've liked to continue getting to know you in,
30:30you know, home turf London,
30:33see how things, uh, how things went there.
30:36But, you know, it's all good.
30:39It's all good.
30:40Have a great time.
30:47Maybe just have a conversation with someone with your fingers in their mouth.
30:51Yeah, I'll get that.
30:52Are you sure?
30:53Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:53Absolutely, yeah.
30:54Oh, what a gentleman!
30:55Because I just said fingers in my mouth when you turned up,
30:58and I thought, that's weird.
30:58What? Say that again?
30:59Don't worry about it.
31:00I'm going to put my fingers in his mouth later.
31:02Are you?
31:03Yeah, all right.
31:04So, let me see how much is there?
31:05All right.
31:06Do you watch Drag Race?
31:07I met RuPaul, and...
31:08Oh, my God, have you?
31:09Yeah, it was, I mean, it was $50 for the experience,
31:11but it's $50 well spent.
31:13Oh, I would...
31:13I went, I looked a hot mess.
31:15My wig went in my face and stuff,
31:16so he was like,
31:17like, get this guy on the pedestal.
31:19He's, like, 16 foot tall,
31:20and I'm, like, two foot and a fag end.
31:23Um...
31:23And he was, like,
31:25moving my hair out of my face and stuff.
31:26As a role model, to be like,
31:28just love yourself, get over it,
31:30and, like, be silly.
31:31Yeah.
31:32Stop making everything so deep.
31:33And I'm, like, I love that message.
31:34I'm, like, you know,
31:35we should make light of more things.
31:36So, yeah, completely.
31:40I wonder how she got on.
31:41Oh.
31:42She said to me, she was like,
31:42are we best friends now?
31:43She was so nice, so funny.
31:45Service, please.
31:50Who's your celebrity crush?
31:52I'm very Julie, but, you know.
31:54Oh, my gosh, that's everyone's celebrity crush.
31:56What about yours? Who's yours?
31:59Daniel Craig.
32:00Daniel Craig.
32:00Minus, like, 20 years.
32:02I was going to say, yeah.
32:03Maybe 30 years.
32:04Piers Brosnan.
32:05Really?
32:06Minus a few years.
32:06Just every James Bond, then, basically.
32:08Yeah, maybe.
32:08Daniel Craig, Piers Brosnan.
32:10If you're going to be the next James Bond,
32:11that would be amazing.
32:12Oh, OK. All right.
32:15There was never times where I thought,
32:17what should we talk about?
32:19The conversation just flowed really freely,
32:21and it was really natural.
32:22I don't think I could be a spy, though,
32:23because you have to be, like,
32:25under a certain height to be a spy.
32:26You're too tall.
32:27The MI5, yeah, I'm too tall.
32:28I like the fact that you're tall, though.
32:30It's nice.
32:31It means I can start buying heels again.
32:34Have you dated, like, tall guys in the past
32:37or shorter guys?
32:37No.
32:38My two exes have both been, like, five foot nine.
32:42OK.
32:42So I've had to throw...
32:43I honestly, like,
32:44I got the most gorgeous pair of, like,
32:46Louboutins and I threw them away.
32:48Ah.
32:49I know.
32:49Threw them away?
32:50You didn't have to throw them away?
32:51You didn't, like, think I might meet someone in the future
32:53where I can wear these?
32:54Do you never think your last relationships
32:56were your forever relationship?
32:58I guess at one point, yeah,
33:00I did think that, yeah.
33:02But it obviously did turn out like that.
33:04I think she's got some great qualities in her.
33:06She seems caring.
33:07She seems really interested in what I had to say
33:10and things about my life.
33:12And, you know,
33:13if someone's really willing to listen to you,
33:16and, you know, it's nice.
33:18I'm at the age now, I'm at the stage where I...
33:22I'm not here to, like, casually date.
33:24Play around.
33:25I feel like I'm in it for, like...
33:26I want to be in it for long haul.
33:33So, how come your last relationship ended?
33:36I know that's, like, a personal question, but...
33:39Um, well, I'd just done some silly things.
33:42Did you?
33:43Yeah.
33:44I wasn't loyal at the end of it.
33:45Oh, wasn't you?
33:48Yeah.
33:49I appreciate your honest day.
33:50Yeah.
33:50Yeah, no, I wasn't loyal at the end.
33:52It's a horrible thing to do, but I've done it.
33:54Yeah.
33:55And, um, yeah.
33:57Yeah.
33:57I wouldn't do it again.
33:58When I newly became single, like, three years ago,
34:00I was in a bit of a rut.
34:02Um, and, yeah, I'd sought out help from a friend of mine
34:05who's a life coach and, uh,
34:07been working on myself ever since.
34:08Obviously, I was with him for a couple of months,
34:10helped me out, got me through it.
34:12I believe it's difficult for men, yeah,
34:13to reach out for stuff like that
34:14because it doesn't feel very manly, does it?
34:17Or masculine.
34:18But everyone's got their emotions
34:21and, um, it depends how you deal with them.
34:23If you can or you can't,
34:24there's always someone to talk to.
34:25What about you?
34:27Yeah, um, things had, things had happened.
34:30Yeah.
34:31Not on, you know, my side.
34:33I understand it would be difficult for anyone
34:35that's had that done to them,
34:37or anyone that's been cheating on,
34:38to hear that the person they're sat across from
34:40has done it their self.
34:45Cheers.
34:46Cheers.
34:46Do we feed each other up?
34:48Too much.
34:54Mmm.
34:55It's a good brownie.
34:56Yeah.
34:57Kind of hard to talk, though,
34:58when you're eating it.
34:59Mm.
34:59Do you know what's really weird?
35:01Like, I'm normally really good at reading people,
35:02but I don't...
35:03Mm.
35:04I can't read you very well.
35:06Okay.
35:06I don't know if Luke did show any signs that he liked me.
35:09I mean, he was so nice and he's so complimentary.
35:12I like your sandals.
35:14Thanks.
35:15Where are they from?
35:16Um, hummies.
35:17Have you got soft underfoot?
35:20What do you think?
35:22Sweaty underfoot.
35:23Oh, my God, stop.
35:24Do they feel sweaty?
35:25No, they don't.
35:26I mean, no, they're fine.
35:27Right.
35:29Here on, give me your foot.
35:30What, the actual foot?
35:31Give me your actual foot.
35:32All right.
35:34They're really soft.
35:36I don't know why.
35:36Stop it.
35:37You've got massive feet.
35:39What size are you?
35:41Size 11.
35:42Oh, my God.
35:43Huge.
35:43It's not that big.
35:46Is this supposed to be cute?
35:49You tell me.
35:50We obviously got on really well.
35:52We had a lot of banter and it was fun.
35:54And I really enjoyed being on a date with her, that's for sure.
35:58Um, but I don't know if we are a match, in all honesty.
36:04Oh, that's so cute.
36:08He did give me the feels.
36:09I did get butterflies when I spoke to him sometimes.
36:14That's like a pinky promise.
36:16What if he said he's not lying to me and I've just said I really like him
36:19and now it's going to be really awkward?
36:22Oh, gosh.
36:23This whole dating thing is really scary.
36:36So, you know, with your, um, your past.
36:40Yeah.
36:41And, yeah, when you said that you've done that.
36:43Yeah.
36:44That is like a big thing for me, that is.
36:46Yeah.
36:46Like huge.
36:47Yeah, that's what I told you.
36:49Yeah.
36:49Yeah.
36:50Being unfaithful in relationships is not something that I really want,
36:56you know, in my life.
36:59When you've had that done to you before, in the past, it's like,
37:04oh, my God, it's like, yeah, huge.
37:07She did say in past relationships it had happened to her, so...
37:11And she said it was a big thing for her.
37:12That's why I was glad that I was honest about it.
37:15Do you feel like, um...
37:19I feel like...
37:20Do you wish that you'd never done anything like that?
37:22Well, yeah, of course, but just learn from your mistakes, don't you?
37:25Yeah.
37:26Yeah, you do.
37:26Yeah.
37:28I feel like I'm in a better place now, different place compared to back then.
37:32It was quite a big thing for you.
37:35I feel like it's an awkward subject anyway to talk about anything like that.
37:39And I feel like after that conversation had been had,
37:44um...
37:44I felt like it started dwindling down then.
37:49What are you thinking?
37:50I thought we got on and everything.
37:52Yeah.
37:52And then I just think, like, by far past, so, like...
37:56Yeah, I feel like...
37:57Yeah, that's, like, a huge thing for me.
37:59Yeah, yeah, of course.
38:00We're definitely not on the same page,
38:01and I think we are both, actually, we agree,
38:04that we aren't as well.
38:05So, we've left on good terms.
38:07Thank you so much, yeah.
38:09And, yeah, good luck.
38:10Yeah, and good luck to you as well.
38:11Yeah, see you later.
38:12Thank you so much.
38:13You've got everything, yeah?
38:14I've got everything.
38:15Yeah, see you.
38:16Bye.
38:17I'm heading out.
38:19Still believe in love, most definitely.
38:21And, yeah, we'll get there one day.
38:26Yeah.
38:27So soon you're cheating somewhere.
38:33I had a brilliant time at the beach club.
38:34It's all been amazing.
38:36And, yeah, definitely, there'll be someone out there for me.
38:39There's someone out there for everyone.
38:50What's your usual type?
38:51My friends would probably say they think I have a type.
38:55Okay.
38:55I feel like I've dated guys of, like, all different kind of types, really.
38:59Usually tattoos is normally, like, it's normally a thing.
39:03Guys with, like, lighter eyes rather than brown eyes.
39:06I don't know if that's just because I have brown eyes.
39:08You've got really nice eyes.
39:11Okay, my lovelies, I'm just going to drop the bill for you.
39:14Thank you so much.
39:15Is that one done or are you still...?
39:16I'll finish.
39:21You all right?
39:21Yeah, you.
39:22Yeah.
39:25Well, lovely to serve you both.
39:26Thank you so much and all the best.
39:28All right.
39:28Cheers, thank you.
39:29Would you like to see each other again?
39:32Um, can we go first?
39:33You can go first if you like.
39:35So, I would say, um, I had, like, a really good day.
39:38One of the best dates I've had.
39:39I really enjoyed that.
39:41It was really fun.
39:42Yeah.
39:42Had such a good chat and I was like, I'd love to go out with you.
39:45And I feel like, yeah, I feel like you'd, like, literally fit into my friendship group.
39:49I really liked your, like, humour and your banter.
39:52The chat was really good.
39:53And also, like, you seem really, like, sweet and genuine.
39:56Like, you seem like a really caring person, so...
39:58Aw, you made me cry.
40:01Yeah.
40:01Yeah, I just, like, as much as I say I don't have a tie, like, you were literally what I
40:07asked for.
40:10And cut your burger a little bit finer.
40:26I've had a lovely time today.
40:28I've had a really nice date with you.
40:29Yeah, it's been a nice date, yeah.
40:30Yeah, I was really nervous about it being a blind date.
40:33It's been great.
40:34A good blind date, yeah.
40:36Shall we head out?
40:36Let's go.
40:37Sure.
40:40You all right?
40:41Hey.
40:41Hello.
40:44Would you like to see each other again?
40:49You go first.
40:51Yeah, I think, you know, I'd be interested to see you on a second date and see where it goes.
40:57How about you?
40:58Yeah.
40:59Okay.
41:00Yeah, definitely.
41:00I wasn't sure.
41:01Like, when I left, I was like, I really liked you, but I didn't know that you were hard to
41:07read.
41:07Yeah.
41:09But it'd be nice to get to me.
41:11Yeah.
41:11And I'll be open to see you again, definitely.
41:13Definitely.
41:13And I'd like to see it when you finish doing your revisal run as well.
41:22Well, guys, I just wanted to thank you for this season.
41:25It was the most incredible season of love.
41:29You guys have worked your socks off and I will remember this season for my whole life.
41:34Thank you so much.
41:35I am so grateful.
41:37It was wonderful.
41:38It was really wonderful.
41:40Ladies, thank you also.
41:47We were very lucky to have some incredible daters.
41:50This is what it's all about.
41:51I think, you know, there's some fun in the sun, but then there's, underneath that, some serious emotions.
41:56Yes.
41:58You're right.
42:02How have you enjoyed it so far, that experience?
42:04It's been amazing.
42:05Yeah.
42:06I've absolutely loved it.
42:09Do you think you'll find the right person here?
42:12Possibly, yeah.
42:13Yeah.
42:13What about yourself?
42:14Yeah, I've got hope.
42:15Yeah?
42:15Yeah.
42:16That date last night?
42:17No.
42:18I surrender.
42:19I surrender.
42:22I surrender.
42:22I will lay me down and I will surrender.
42:26This is definitely more than a holiday romance.
42:29I think we will 100% be seeing each other when we get back to the UK.
42:32Yeah, 100%.
42:33Take your tops off.
42:34Take your tops off.
42:36This is what the sun does to people for it.
42:38Yeah.
42:38Yeah, absolutely.
42:39Oh, I was really quick there.
42:40Yeah.
42:41Yeah, I would like it to be alone.
42:42Yeah.
42:43100%.
42:45I've got to ask you the question.
42:46Are you going to see each other again?
42:49Yeah.
42:50Yeah.
42:50I do.
42:51Yeah.
42:51Yeah.
42:52Do we sail it with a kiss?
42:54There we go.
42:58Cheers.
42:58Cheers.
42:58Cheers to good times.
42:59Cheers to good times.
43:00Cheers.
43:00I'm going to cry.
43:02I'm going to cry.
43:03I'm going to cry some tissue.
43:04Have you fallen in love with Emily?
43:08Quite possibly.
43:09Okay.
43:11Adios.
43:12Adios.
43:13Adios.
43:13All right, let's go.
43:16For the last time.

43:20Yeah.
43:20We're done.
43:20Oh, no.

43:51It doesn't take much to make me happy.
43:55Brighton's my happy place.
43:57And you're there now, so it's just become a tiny little bit happy.
44:02Oh, I love that.
44:04Cause our love's no mystery.
44:10Demonstrating love and affection.
44:17Oh, oh really right there I can't see now

44:39Yeah, sorry mum
44:41It's really sorry
44:43But yeah
44:44Thank you so much for this wonderful time
44:46It's been great
44:47What more could you want?
44:54Love has kissed me and I've been my way
44:58Oh yeah
45:04My love, my love
45:07The yard was very, very funny
45:08I have to like buy you a pillow on my face or something
45:11So I have to miss me just loud
45:12Yes, so I can just cuddle that at night
45:15When you're not there
45:28I was really scared you were going to be about five foot nothing and ginger
45:32So
45:32Oh okay
45:33Well I'm sorry
45:34It's all the five foot nothing
45:35Is that there?
45:35I know that's probably really important
45:37Let's go
45:39My ex-boyfriend was five foot nothing and ginger
45:53No, we're definitely going to meet up
45:55We've said that
45:55And I think we're definitely going to sink a lot of drinks
46:00Which is never
46:02Dot dot dot
46:04To be continued
46:05Yeah
46:06Cut
46:20There's no way in a million years I could have thought how well it was going to go
46:23You know, this well
46:24Meeting you
46:25You couldn't write it, could you?
46:27Yeah, yeah
46:27You couldn't write it at all
46:28You know, it's just been perfect
46:30I don't know how they've matched us up so well
46:33My love, my love, my love
46:38I'm giving you the best of my love
46:41My love, my love
46:43Oh yeah
