'I'm an ass man': Check out the highlights of First Dates Ireland last night

Fri, 27 Jan, 2017 - 11:12

First Dates Ireland was on RTE 2 last night and it went down a treat with social media channels whirring with conversations about the various characters that turned up -or got stood up – on the night.

Poor Bríain Óg arrived suited and booted for his highly anticipated first date only to find his new lady friend failed to show up on the night.

Of course the show must go on and on it did with two Dubs, Ian and Kaleigh, who had a fairly tumultuous date where Ian announced he was “an ass man” and forgot Kaleigh's name.

Watch that particular car crash moment unfold here!

Special guest George Mason, who plays Ash in the soap Home and Away, had a few things to say about Ian and his ass infatuation..

The audience seemed very taken with Kayleigh, who handled the night very well all things considered!

Ah lads Kayleigh just wins tonight's episode of #FirstDatesIRL. She's a ledge. 💯

The total douche guy on #FirstDatesIRL with the tattoo on his ass is every reason I've ever been rude to someone in a nightclub

The final pair to pique the interests of the audiences was Ciaran and Bami.

Ciaran, a Belfast lad, proceeded to get more than a little steamed on the night and even finds time to give himself a wee pep talk in the bathroom while struggling to use the taps.
