Telly love guru Fred Sirieix says couples ‘may have made love’ on First Dates Hotel
Love guru teases details of First Dates spin-off show
FIRST Dates maître d' Fred Sirieix has hinted that things may get hot and heavy on the spin-off reality show First Dates Hotel.
The new Channel 4 programme sees singles set up for blind dates at a swish hotel in France — a handy location, obviously, if the date goes well.
The show has been described as a cross between First Dates, where potential couples meet at a restaurant, and Love Island, where a group of single celebrities are let loose on an island together.
But Fred, 44, told The Sun Online the goal of First Dates Hotel is romance, not just hook-ups.
The French love guru explained: "Yes, there are bedrooms. When you are a couple and you go to a hotel, there is that connotation, and the anticipation of what is to come is great.
"But it’s First Dates Hotel — remember our vision is to put people up and help them find love. That’s all we want to do!"
He continued: "It was more about giving them the chance to get to know each other over a longer period of time.
"So they meet on the terrace, they have a meal, then they can have breakfast the next day and have more opportunities to meet and get to know each other."
