Popular Channel 4 dating show ‘Teen First Dates’ is back - and viewers can look forward to seeing lots more young singletons hope to find love in the lengendary ‘First Dates’ restaurant.

‘Teen First Dates’ is a spin-off series to the iconic dating show ‘First Dates’, which has been running since 2013. The premise of the show sees singles from across the country paired up for a blind date in a Manchester restaurant, only meeting in front of the television cameras. As the name would suggest, the teen version of the show is open to young people aged 16 to 19 but follows the same format. It has been on air since 2021.

His date, 16-year-old Isobel, is also still getting to grips with her confidence, but will they find romance?” The synopsis for the seventh episode reads: “First into the restaurant is Chelsi, a 16-year-old dance student with an infectious laugh. Hoping to keep her amused is Derbyshire lad Mitch. Will he match up to Chelsi's strict dress code?”
