Until then, we have First Dates UK. Last night, Irish nurse Becca from Galway appeared on the show, hoping to find love.

She’s a 27-year-old computer science graduate and neo-natal nurse and is MAD for a bit of science chat.

People immediately fell in love

If I could have that Irish bird off first dates for Christmas that would be grand #firstdates

But her date John didn’t get off on the best foot, when he explained he would “suck David Beckham off”.

Why? Who really knows?

She was slightly taken aback

Of course we'd all "suck off David Beckham" but you don't say it on a first date #firstdates

Don’t fret, it didn’t turn her off. The pair went on for drinks after the date.

C’mon though, an Irish nurse? Hasn’t anyone told her about Coppers?

Whoops!
