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.

Bonnie Blue's 'controversial' Channel 4 documentary '1000 Men and Me' suffers fresh blow as firms pull adverts as the content 'glamorises porn'
Bonnie Blue has taken another hit as her Channel 4 documentary '1000 Men and Me' has been snubbed by firms who have refused to run adverts alongside the programme. The show, which was broadcast on Tuesday, has been heavily criticised for glamorising porn and some companies have decided they don't want their products associated with the adult content star. And it's not just businesses, as the children's commissioner has also demanded the broadcaster remove adverts from the documentary. The shocking programme followed Bonnie Blue, real name Tia Bellinger, as she geared up to complete her goal of having sex with 1,000 men in 12 hours. The Channel 4 show followed the adult content creator, providing behind-the-scenes insight and interviews. However it has been criticised for failing to challenge the star or the men involved and the wider impacts on attitudes towards sex. The programme did not pixelate any nudity and included clips from Bonnie Blue's stunt including a snippet of the star having sex with three men at the same time. In reaction to the documentary, card payment service Visa, juice brand Cawston Press and vodka brand Smirnoff, which is owned by drinks company Diego, have told Channel 4 they did not want their products associated with the controversial content. They added they did not want their products promoted because it was not in line with their advertising guidelines and company values. The broadcaster has also been slammed for making the programme freely available to under-18s via the app and its on demand player despite it being shown at 10pm after the watershed. While viewers under 18-years-old are technically blocked from such content, there is no age verification process and the show was released just days after new rules were introduced to social media sites to improve children's online safety. Children's commissioner Dame Rachel de Souza said: 'This documentary risks taking us a step back by glamorising, even normalising, the things young people tell me are frightening, confusing and damaging to their relationships.' Ian Katz, chief content officer at Channel 4, defended the documentary, telling the Sunday Times that it is 'clearly a legitimate subject' as Bonnie Blue is a 'huge phenomenon' who has 'transformed the porn industry'. He also claimed Blue was sufficiently challenged about her actions in the programme. It comes after the star was kicked out of a Premier League game in May- but not before performing a vulgar gesture. The programme did not pixelate any nudity and included clips from Bonnie Blue's stunt including a snippet of the star having sex with three men at the same time Blue was ejected from the Chelsea away end as the team fought it out against Nottingham Forest for the a Champions League berth. Footage posted online showed a member of Forest's 'response team' speaking to a companion of Bonnie - before ushering the pair out. However, the adult actress mimicked a sex act before turning to leave - then stopped to bend over provocatively in front of the security guard. The clip was posted online with the caption 'Bonnie blue just got kicked out of the away end wtf' and shows fans booing as she was escorted out.

Visa & Smirnoff demand Channel 4 pull their ads from Bonnie Blue documentary after viewers left outraged
VISA, Smirnoff and other businesses have demanded Channel 4 remove their adverts from their documentary about porn star Bonnie Blue. The film 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story, which was broadcast last Tuesday, was slammed by firms who did not want their products aligned with the controversial OnlyFans figure. 4 Bonnie Blue left viewers outraged in her new documentary Credit: Instagram/@bonnie_blue_xox 4 A slew of brands have demanded Channel 4 remove their ads from the programme Credit: Channel 4 The shocking documentary revealed behind-the-scenes footage for Bonnie Blue's desperate challenge where she aimed to sleep with 1,000 men in 12 hours. She ended the challenge having had sex with 1057 men, topping Lily Phillips' 100 men record. The documentary showed video of Blue, 26, real name Tia Billinger, having sex with three men simultaneously as well as showing the run-up to a schoolgirl-inspired orgy. Channel 4 has also been criticised for making the documentary freely available on its app and online where it is easily accessible by teenagers, outside of the television watershed. While people under 18 are technically blocked from watching the documentary, there is also no age verification process to prevent children from lying about their date of birth. Children's commissioner Dame Rachel de Souza said: 'This documentary risks taking us a step back by glamorising, even normalising, the things young people tell me are frightening, confusing and damaging to their relationships.' Ian Katz, chief content officer at Channel 4, defended the documentary, telling the Sunday Times that it is "clearly a legitimate subject" as Bonnie Blue is a "huge phenomenon" who has "transformed the porn industry". He also claimed Blue was sufficiently challenged about her actions in the programme. 'She's got massive influence on the way that millions of young men, sadly, think about sex,' he said. 'She [the documentary maker] did challenge [Blue] a few times but this wasn't a Today programme interview. "This was an observational documentary, and the idea of that approach is to get the audience up as close to the reality of a story, and then let them decide what they think about it. "And I think a huge proportion of the audience would be deeply horrified by what they saw and reach their own conclusions.' We recently revealed how viewers were left outraged at Bonnie after she claimed she was a "community worker" while sleeping with 1,000 men. Bonnie said she sees herself as someone who is teaching men how to have better sex and describes the 1,000-men event as 'giving back' to her fans. In the same breath, she argued that she's 'not a world educator' and can't be held responsible for the culture of sexualisation our children are growing up in. Viewers online were quick to react with many on X branding it "disgusting" while another said that the whole documentary was a "disgrace". Many others took offence to her outrageous comment that her sex acts were a "community service". Angry viewers blasted her for "trying to normalise this behaviour" by influencing "impressionable" teenagers with "sick" views. But Bonnie also hit back at the people who have a problem with her in the documentary. She said critics are 'fat women who stay at home' and admitted she had no qualms about having sex with married men whose wives are 'lazy' in the bedroom. 4 Bonnie talking to her mum in the documentary Credit: Channel 4
