Despite the fact Gemma isn't a fan of tattoos, and Paul happens to have a few inkings dotted around his body, the couple enjoyed each others company.

But Gemma needs to watch out, as women and men were drooling all over her date as they watched him on TV, taking to Twitter in their droves to gush over how wonderful he was.

One described him as "Dreamboat Paul", while another wrote: "Paul is actually hurting my heart, I shouldn't watch this program".

A third agreed, writing: "Oh my gosh I need a Paul!!!" with lots of loved up emojis appearing in the tweets too.

One guy wrote in spaced out phrases: "Oh god. I'm melting. He's perfect. Paul" while another singleton added: "When he sat down he was SO TALL! Paul actually looks like Prince Charming..."

During the chat, Paul revealed he had a five-year-old daughter and her name featured in one of his tattoos.

He also shared an adorable story of how they do each others hair, and he once went to his local supermarket with lots of hair elastics in his hair from where his little girl had styled his locks.

Thankfully Paul's army of fans will be relieved - or at least they should be if they want him to be happy - to hear that he has continued to see Gemma since returning to England, with a cute picture of them together popping up at the end of the episode.

Underneath the shot it said: "Gemma continued to be charmed by Paul. They were last seen dining out like kings in Royal Windsor."
