Both Chloe and Abz were matched with potential love interests and the foursome visited a restaurant for a meal together.

Towards the end of the dinner, Chloe's date made a confession that he had a very famous grandad.

Chloe's potential suitor Max admitted that he's the grandson of the late Sir Captain Tom Moore, who raised more than £30million for the NHS during the height of the pandemic.

Speaking about his family, Max said: "Over the last year and a half, two years, we got closer due to like...

Captain Tom, who was knighted in May 2020, passed away last February after a battle with Covid.

He had spent the last 13 years of his life ­living with daughter Hannah and her family in their £1.2million house in Marston Moretaine, Beds.

In April 2020, he captured the hearts of the nation by starting a lockdown walk around his back garden with the help of a frame.

Just six months earlier, he had ­shattered his hip, but he vowed to take his first stroll since leaving hospital.

After doing his first lap, son-in-law Colin promised him £1 per lap — and challenged him to do 100 before the day of his hundredth birthday.

On April 6, 2020, the day after his first lap, Captain Tom had raised £11.
