First Dates looking for single people in North West for new series

If you’re looking for love and are sick of swiping away on Tinder, then we’ve got some good news for you

Both First Dates and First Dates Hotel are on the lookout for single people to take part in some new series.

Absolutely anyone can apply – as long as you’re over 18 – and you’ll be added the the show’s massive database of more than 350,000 singletons.

The application form reads: “First Dates and First Dates Hotel are documentary series which help contributors find a partner from a pool of other singletons and captures the highs and lows of first dates on camera. Each episode will feature a number of intimate first dates.

“In-depth interviews will help the viewers get to know the daters. Discreet cameras will record the date from start to finish – from first impressions, through all the awkward, heart-warming and funny moments, to the end of the date and the discussion about whether or not a second date is on the cards.”

The popular Channel 4 dating series is coming up north for its next series as well, with the show recently revealing it will be filming at a restaurant in Manchester.

The dating show is usually shot at the Paternoster Chop House in London, but will be moving Up North for its next outing.

The Paternoster Chop House is owned by restaurant group D&D, and while they also own 20 Stories in Spinningfields and considered it as a location for the series, apparently there’s not enough room in the back for the show’s production team.

According to the MEN, producers are thought to have checked out potential sites in St Peter’s Square and the Corn Exchange too.
