Blind date takes a cheeky turn as woman, 58, announces plans to ‘snog' 24-year-o
Things get heated on tonight's episodes of Channel 4's First Dates as 24-year-old Cormac and 58-year-old Lorraine find an immediate connection.
The glamorous Lorraine is looking for love after a previous heartbreak, while classic car journalist Cormac likes to live life like it's the 80s.
His striking fur coat catches Lorraine's attention, who then asks if Cormac is 'into older women'. He replies that he is, adding that his 'cut-off' age is 66.
When Lorraine asks how old Cormac is, he cheekily replies: 'Old enough for you.'
Things have clearly got off to a good start, and as they sit down for their meal, the conversation turns to classic cars.
When Cormac shares he's owned a Rolls-Royce and a Bentley in the past, Lorraine jokes, 'Let's get married!'
The pair bond further over Lorraine's previous ownership of an Aston Martin, at which point their waiter arrives with the food.
As he sets down the dishes, Lorraine says: 'That's garlic, I can't eat that. I might be snogging someone later.'
Her statement appears to shock waiter Kyle, who cocks his head and puts on a bemused smile.
Cormac, meanwhile, is apparently delighted, smiling and saying: 'I wouldn't mind that. I'd like that.'
Waiter Kyle is one of First Dates' new staff members, and is a 25-year-old Welshman who sings and dances his way around the restaurant.
Joining him as a new member of the team is Gerald from New York, who brings a Broadway flair to the show.
Maître d' and host Fred Sirieix has, of course, returned for the latest series, along with bartender Merlin Griffiths.
As for whether Lorraine and Cormac go the distance, viewers will have to tune in tonight to find out.
It's not the first time the show has seen a surprise pairing. Just last week, mum-of-three Sophie shocked her date, Emily, by revealing her husband was waiting at the bar. More Trending
It turned out that Sophie and her husband Ricki wanted to explore polyamory, and were open to welcoming another person into their relationship.
Fortunately, Emily wasn't deterred, and Ricki eventually joined the pair in what became the show's first 'throuple' date.
Elsewhere on tonight's episode, 21-year-old Rebecca, a Boris Johnson fan, meets political researcher Bradley. Paris and Serena find common ground despite a mishap involving a spilled drink, and single mum Anna meets Luke, a military man turned surfer.

Hannah Spearritt and Louie Spence withdraw from Celebrity SAS in first episode
The Channel 4 military reality show opened with the 14 celebrity recruits hooded and standing on a breakwater, before they were asked for their identities by chief instructor Billy Billingham – who told many of the celebrities 'don't grin at me'. He then led them on two tasks, the first to plunge 26ft into the water and swim to intercept a boat, which picked them up, and the second to rescue three hostages from a building before blowing it up with a grenade. Before the second challenge began, Spearritt, 44, handed over her number tag to directing staff, telling them 'I'm done, I'm sorry, I've reached a point' – and in a pre-recorded interview which was played after her withdrawal, she said 'I don't think I'll go on the first day' adding she 'wouldn't forgive myself'. During the task, Spence, who is best known for Sky TV show Pineapple Dance Studios, threw a grenade into the building while it still had two hostages in it, and afterwards told the directing staff he wished to withdraw, and was given a second chance to put his armband back on, but turned it down. Spence said: 'I want to do an immediate withdrawal, I just don't have the conviction, and I feel as though I'm not dedicated enough.' He was told that he 'hadn't even started', but Spence replied 'that's what I mean'. After the first task, former model Rebecca Loos was pulled in by directing staff after she gave up during the swimming challenge, who asked her to open up on her alleged affair with footballer Sir David Beckham, who she worked for as a personal assistant, during the interrogation. In an interview before the first task, former Drag Race UK star Bimini Bon Boulash said the show would be 'a piece of piss' after growing up as a queer person in Norfolk. After the second task, former Watford striker Troy Deeney, who also threw a grenade into the building before clearing the hostages, was pulled in by the instructors, where he opened up on physical abuse he and his mother received from his late father. The show sees celebrities enter SAS training, where they are not eliminated and are instead culled by the directing staff or able to withdraw themselves, with those who remain at the end declared the winners. The rest of the celebrity recruits are made up of ex-drug mule Michaella McCollum, former footballer Adebayo Akinfenwa, Strictly Come Dancing 2025 runner-up Tasha Ghouri, former The Traitors winner Harry Clark, rapper Lady Leshurr, boxer Conor Benn, singer Lucy Spraggan, and ex-Love Island contestants Chloe Burrows and Adam Collard. Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins continues on Channel 4 on Monday at 9pm.

Watch the moment S Club's Hannah Spearritt quits on DAY ONE of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the moment S Club's Hannah Spearritt quit Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins on day one. Hannah, 44, is one of 14 famous faces taking part in the gruelling Channel 4 show. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 This is the moment Hannah Spearritt quit Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins 5 Hannah said she felt faint before quitting 5 The 44-year-old rose to fame as part of S Club 7 Credit: Getty They were thrown in at the deep end - quite literally - straight out the gates. For their first challenge, the celebrities had to jump from a height into the sea before swimming to a buoy in time to be picked up by a speedboat. The Challenge was brutal for all of them, and so when it came to doing the second mission in one day, Hannah didn't look in a good way. As the celebrities stood in line carrying their large backpacks, Hannah wavered, closing her eyes and sighing, having told her co-stars on the journey there that she "felt faint". The famous faces were ordered to move off, but Hannah hung back and told the SAS instructors that she was calling it quits. Pulling off her numbered black arm band, she struggled as she said: "Sorry, I'm done." The special forces officer exclaimed: "You're kidding me?!" but Hannah weakly shook her head and said: "Sorry...I've reached a point." As she was sent away, she was then seen in a piece to camera before embarking on the mission saying: "I am pretty determined. I don't think I give up easily. "But whether I'll get to the end or not? I mean...I don't think I'll go on the first day, I just wouldn't forgive myself." Sadly, that's exactly what happened, but she wasn't the only one, as Louie Spence also quit later in the show. Paul Cattermole's death changed everything… I don't know if I'll sing with S Club again, says Hannah Spearritt Hannah's exit was leaked ahead of the series starting this evening, with a source telling MailOnline Hannah "truly believed" a stint on the programme could "turn things around for her." They added: "But sadly she just couldn't hack it and walked on the first day. It was all rather embarrassing." The Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins line up also include Love Islander's Adam Collard, Tasha Ghouri and Chloe Burrows, Rebecca Loos and former footballer Troy Deeney. 5 Hannah pulled off her arm band and quit ahead of the second challenge Credit: Pete Dadds / Channel 4 5 Hannah didn't look in a good way Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins continues Monday, August 4 at 9pm on Channel 4.
