Producers seeking singles as hit dating show First Dates comes to RTÉ2!
RTÉ2 is delighted to announce the arrival of the heart-warming dating show First Dates to RTÉ television.
Due to air on RTÉ2 in the new year, the First Dates restaurant doors are about to swing open in the hope of letting love bloom in Ireland in 2016, and producers COCO Television are looking to hear from single people from all over the country. The hit UK series – where single hopefuls dine with a prospective match – has won legions of fans across Ireland.
The show wants to hear from potential daters – young and old – who are looking for that perfect someone and who fancy a bit of matchmaking help in their quest to find love.
The First Dates restaurant will be filmed in a secret location which will be announced closer to broadcast, where every moment is captured by tiny cameras in the first fixed rig show of its kind to be made in Ireland.
If you are looking for love, or have single friends or family who are on the hunt for a soul mate, now is your chance to apply!
Bill Malone, Controller RTÉ2, said: ‘First Dates is the hottest international format of the moment which has already had huge success in the UK and is quickly proving to be a worldwide hit. Throw Irish wit, charm and dating habits into the mix and it really promises to be unmissable TV.’
Linda Cullen, Executive Producer COCO Television, says: ‘With Irish daters there is that inimitable warmth of personality and unique sense of humour, which we feel will make a fabulously sweet & engaging series for Irish viewers.’
