A professional croupier, a nurse, a tattooed bad boy and a history teacher are among the hopefuls looking for love in the restaurant this time around. Chef Andrew from Co Antrim prepares something special for Patrick from Wicklow. For this series the game of love has new regulations - daters are suitably distanced, contact is strictly off the cards and background diners are all from their family bubbles.

Keen to seize the day, 75-year-old Marie from Meath waltzes into the arms of dapper 79-year-old dancer Denis from Kildare. And Impressively mohawked Phil rocks up to the restaurant on a skateboard hoping to rom-com his way into the heart of ultra-positive musician Rebecca.
