'I brought my husband on First Dates with another woman and this is how it went'
'I brought my husband on First Dates with another woman and this is how it went' First Dates fans will be in for a treat tonight as the hit Channel 4 dating show returns for a brand new series, and sees a couple on a with a third person First Dates reveals first throuple date in preview clip A throuple appearing on First Dates has shared their experience of making history on the Channel 4 show. The reality programme has welcomed a multitude of hopeful romantics through the doors of the First Dates restaurant, where they are greeted by I'm A Celebrity star and maître d', Fred Sirieix, and barman Merlin Griffiths. However, in tonight's episode, which marks the start of the new series, one woman was surprised to discover that she was being paired with not just one, but two individuals. Sophie, a mother of three, had never been on a date with a woman before and was seeking someone alternative, authentic, and open-minded. Her date with Emily certainly fit the bill. The duo quickly hit it off, with Sophie managing to overcome her initial nerves to reveal to Emily that she was married and that her husband Ricki was waiting at the bar to join them, reports the Mirror. The couple, who have been together for a decade and tied the knot in 2018, were hoping to expand their marriage by inviting someone else into their relationship. Article continues below "We were curious to explore new connections together, and thought, why not? It felt like the right time to do something bold and go for it," Sophie later revealed in an exclusive interview with The Mirror. "It was exciting but nerve-wracking at the same time." Sophie and Ricki were looking to open up their marriage (Image: Channel 4 ) Sophie and Ricki had contemplated opening up their relationship two years after they first met and had once tried out a "lifestyle club" where they were welcomed with "open arms", but now they were ready to take things to the next level. "We've always been very private, and never really spoken to other people about our relationship and never had the chance to open it up. We've had a couple of experiences with friends but nothing has ever developed from that," she revealed. Sophie disclosed to Ricki two years prior that she identified as bisexual and was curious about exploring this part of her identity, to which he was receptive. Since they hadn't come across the right individual for such exploration, their participation in First Dates marked their inaugural introduction to another person. Describing her initial apprehension, Sophie shared: "I was quite nervous walking in, I feel like the idea of having a blind date - especially when you haven't dated for a long time - was very nerve-wracking to me. But as soon as I walked in, I felt really welcomed and those nerves went away fairly quickly." On the other hand, Ricki confessed that whilst he was filled more with excitement than nerves, the apps had failed to yield the connection they sought. Emily was on a date with Sophie when Ricki joined (Image: Channel 4 ) "There aren't many dating apps for couples looking for singles," he lamented. "And if there are, it's purely (within our experiences) just for sexual encounters, and that's not what we were looking for." Their encounter with Emily on First Dates seemed positive, with both Sophie and Ricki feeling an immediate sense of connection, while Emily too expressed that she had an "amazing" experience from her perspective in the interview. She expressed her excitement about the unique dating experience, saying: "It was an exciting opportunity, and obviously, for me, I didn't know what I was going into in terms of who the date was going to be. I'm very pansexual, I've dated all the genders, all the colours of the rainbow, and I didn't know if it was going to be a guy or a girl, someone in between, or a couple because I definitely expressed that was an interest of mine as well. The way the date played out was amazing." Like Ricki, Emily had not found success with dating apps and saw First Dates as an opportunity to meet new people. Sophie admitted she was excited but nervous beforehand (Image: Channel 4 ) She shared her enthusiasm for dating and meeting new individuals: "I love dating and I love meeting new people, I think meeting new people is the meaning of life to be honest, making new connections, and so I thought what a fun and interesting way to meet some cool people," she said. The massage therapist elaborated on her past experiences: "I've dated couples before and really enjoyed it in the past, [but] it's quite hard to find the right dynamic. Obviously dating is hard enough just trying to find two people that match, so to find a dynamic where all three people are all compatible is harder sometimes." Upon seeing Sophie, Emily immediately felt "really happy" and experienced a "wave of relief," admitting, "I had a huge crush on Sophie." Despite Ricki not being her typical choice, Emily confessed that his "warmth and humour" became apparent within minutes of their encounter. Emily called the date a 'nice surprise' (Image: Channel 4 ) She concluded by emphasising the importance of connection: "We all got on really well, and to be honest, energy and personality tend to be the driver of who I end up with." Emily, who initially was unaware that she had been set up with both Sophie and Ricki on her date, later revealed she wasn't "shocked" but pleasantly "nicely surprised." "I would have been very happy with just dating Sophie alone, but it was a nice little surprise for me; I wasn't worried at all," she said. Emily, Sophie, and Ricki, not only experienced success on their date but also expressed pride in contributing to an empowering narrative through First Dates. Things seemed to go well for the trio (Image: Channel 4 ) "I feel really honoured that I was part of First Dates' first three-way date because it hasn't been done before and I think it does break down a lot of stigma," shared Emily, who has been featured previously on Channel 4's Open House: The Great Sex Experiment. She differentiated her experiences on the two shows, saying, "With Open House, it's all very raunchy and risky and a lot of things go wrong but with First Dates, I hope it comes across that for me, it was really amazing, we had a great connection, and actually these things aren't really taboo at all." "It's just three people who really get along, having a nice time. And I think that people make it a lot deeper than it needs to be, it's really just not that deep." Article continues below Sophie echoed this sentiment and acknowledged the unique opportunity they had: "I really like the fact that we've had this opportunity to be able to be the first people to do it, it's exciting for us, we love that. Hopefully it does provide an empowering message to other couples that may be wanting to explore those sorts of connections too." First Dates airs Fridays at 10pm on Channel 4.

'I brought my husband to a date with another woman on TV, here's how it went'
Emily, Sophie and Ricki made history on Channel 4's First Dates. A throuple on First Dates has reflected on making history on the Channel 4 programme. The reality series has seen plenty of hopefuls come and go through the First Dates restaurant doors, greeted by I'm A Celebrity star and maître d' Fred Sirieix and barman Merlin Griffiths. But in tonight's programme, launching the new series, one woman was surprised to hear that she was being set up with not one but two people. Mum-of-three Sophie had never dated a woman before and was hoping to find someone alternative, authentic and open-minded, which her date with Emily certainly was. The pair hit it off quickly, with Sophie overcoming her nerves to finally reveal to Emily that she was married, and her husband Ricki was sitting at the bar, waiting to join them. The couple, who have been together for 10 years and wed in 2018, were looking to open up their marriage and find someone to join them. 'We were curious to explore new connections together, and thought, why not? It felt like the right time to do something bold and go for it,' Sophie later told The Mirror in an exclusive interview. 'It was exciting but nerve-wracking at the same time.' She and Ricki had considered opening their relationship up two years after meeting and once attempted a 'lifestyle club' where they were welcomed with 'open arms,' but now they wanted to take things further. 'We've always been very private, and never really spoken to other people about our relationship and never had the chance to open it up. We've had a couple of experiences with friends but nothing has ever developed from that,' she said. Two years ago, Sophie told Ricki she was bisexual, and wanted to potentially explore that, which he was open to. Having not found the right person to date, First Dates became their first encounter with another person. 'I was quite nervous walking in, I feel like the idea of having a blind date - especially when you haven't dated for a long time - was very nerve-wracking to me. But as soon as I walked in, I felt really welcomed and those nerves went away fairly quickly,' she recalled. Ricki, meanwhile, wasn't 'too nervous' but just excited and hopeful after failing to find what they were looking for on dating apps. 'There aren't many dating apps for couples looking for singles,' he said. 'And if there are, it's purely (within our experiences) just for sexual encounters, and that's not what we were looking for.' Both Sophie and Ricki appeared to instantly connect with Emily, who also shared her 'amazing' experience in an interview. She said: 'It was an exciting opportunity, and obviously, for me, I didn't know what I was going into in terms of who the date was going to be. I'm very pansexual, I've dated all the genders, all the colours of the rainbow, and I didn't know if it was going to be a guy or a girl, someone in between, or a couple because I definitely expressed that was an interest of mine as well. The way the date played out was amazing.' Like Ricki, Emily hadn't had success on dating apps and wanted to try First Dates to meet new people. 'I love dating and I love meeting new people, I think meeting new people is the meaning of life to be honest, making new connections, and so I thought what a fun and interesting way to meet some cool people,' she said. The massage therapist went on: 'I've dated couples before and really enjoyed it in the past, [but] it's quite hard to find the right dynamic. Obviously dating is hard enough just trying to find two people that match, so to find a dynamic where all three people are all compatible is harder sometimes.' As soon as Emily saw Sophie, she felt 'really happy' and a 'wave of relief,' confessing, 'I had a huge crush on Sophie.' While Ricki wasn't necessarily her usual type, Emily admitted that within five minutes of meeting him, she could feel his 'warmth and humour'. She added, 'We all got on really well, and to be honest, energy and personality tend to be the driver of who I end up with.' Despite not initially being aware that she would be dating both Sophie and Ricki, Emily shared that she wasn't 'shocked' but rather 'nicely surprised.' 'I would have been very happy with just dating Sophie alone, but it was a nice little surprise for me; I wasn't worried at all,' she said. Emily, Sophie, and Ricki not only found luck with their dates, but they also all shared how proud they are to have been a part of an empowering message on First Dates. 'I feel really honoured that I was part of First Dates' first three-way date because it hasn't been done before and I think it does break down a lot of stigma,' Emily, who has previously appeared on Channel 4's Open House: The Great Sex Experiment, said.

Danny Dyer and Louis Tomlinson among famous faces at Oasis' Cardiff comeback
Friday, July 4, 2025, will go down as one of the biggest nights in British music history as Oasis graced a live stage for the first time in 16 years. The Mancunian Britpop heroes formed in Burnage in the early 1990s and quickly became—for better or worse—the defining band of their generation. But singer-songwriter brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher had a famously frosty relationship, and the band shockingly split when Noel quit in August 2009. After waging a cold war in the press for more than a decade, the two siblings kissed and made up in 2024 and announced a string of live dates for summer 2025. The Oasis Live 25 Tour kicked off in Cardiff on Friday night, with the 75,000 tickets sold at the Principality Stadium among the hottest in the world right now. But it's not just regular folks who've descended on the Welsh capital for a bit of the action—half a dozen famous faces have been spotted in the crowd as well. 📝| 'Louis is a huge Oasis fan and has been extremely open about failing to secure tickets in the queue. He's said to have found himself on tonight's guestlist, which promises to be one of the most exciting concerts in music history.'— The Mirror can reveal that the cheeky… — World Tomlinson (@LouisWT91World) July 4, 2025 The first to pop up was This Is England actress Vicky McClure, who joined the BBC's live coverage of the build-up to the Oasis gig and then went to grab a spot in the crowd. From the BBC itself, Radio 2 host Vernon Kay popped along, despite being called a 'lanky b*****d' by Liam Gallagher himself during a tense meeting between the two years ago. And MailOnline photographers spotted Gavin & Stacey star Rob Brydon in the crowd, with the Welsh actor not having to go too far from home to see his musical heroes. But stealing the headlines were none other than actor Danny Dyer, who was spotted in Cardiff earlier on Friday, and former One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson. Danny opted for dark sunglasses and a moustache to keep his identity a secret, but fans still managed to spot him walking along a road near the stadium. He was seen wearing a smart casual navy blue jacket as he walked alongside a friend (or bodyguard), with hundreds of onlookers none the wiser. And reports in The Mirror earlier today speculated that Walls hitmaker and Oasis superfan Louis had managed to secure himself a spot on the guest list. Louis had apparently tried and failed, along with thousands of others, to get his hands on those prized tickets earlier last year when they went on sale. He said at the time: 'I didn't [get tickets]. I was in the queue, but I never got a number. I did try. I did try. I have my fingers crossed.' Fellow musician Serge Pizzorno—of the Leicester-based rock band Kasabian—was also apparently spotted by reports, with Kasabian owing a lot to the Manchester band. Everton FC's manager, Sean Dyche, also sat on the BBC's sofa outside the Principality Stadium before taking his place among the thousands witnessing history. And it seems he set a bit of a trend, as fellow Premier League boss Nuno Espirito Santo, in charge at Nottingham Forest, was also rumoured by The Sun to be in attendance on Friday. At the gig, Oasis rolled back the years by playing some of their biggest hits, with some fans in Cardiff reckoning Liam sounded 'biblical' and better than ever. @ShaneRyanOneil exclaimed: 'Liam hasn't sounded this good in years. Biblical,' while @Jahvasconcelos said: 'Liam's voice sounds absolutely BIBLICAL. Unbeliveable.' More Trending The two brothers held hands as they walked onto the stage in Cardiff, with their gesture being greeted by huge cheers from the over 70,000-strong crowd. Bang on 8:15pm, Noel and Liam launched into their tune Hello, which opened their second album (What's the Story) Morning Glory? all those years ago. After this, they went into Acquiesce – which originally appeared as the B-side to Oasis' first number-one single Some Might Say, in 1995. The words 'This is not a drill' appeared on the screen in giant letters, with the crowd—decked out in Mancunian bucket hats, sunglasses, and Oasis merch—sending cups flying by jumping in the air.
