The maître d' is the best part of First Dates - Here's why

The real hero.

THE BRILLIANT CHANNEL 4 dating show, First Dates, is now a staple in our week. Thursday nights = First Date night.

If you haven’t watched it yet, you’re missing out. The basic premise is that we get fly-on-the-wall access into a London restaurant which is playing host to a range of first dates. Specific couples are chosen for us to watch in full, as well as giving us the chance to find out what they thought of each other after.

We’ve loved certain people who appeared for dates, like this German man, Hugh Grant lookalike Louis, and Irish gal Laura Barry.

But Fred the maitre d’ is the one who has truly captured our hearts

The Frenchman greets every singleton and shows them to their seats, and basically he is the best part of every episode.

Why?

He opens every episode with this heart-melting quote

There is only one happiness in this life. To love, and to be loved.

In fact, all of his quotes make us want to both cry and laugh at the same time so we look like this
