The new new season of First Dates Ireland is going to look very different.
The makers of the TV show have announced a new set of strict rules that will need to be followed ahead of the filming of the new season of the RTÉ show.
The rules states that contestants are now allowed to kiss eachother, no matter how well the dates does. Furthermore, they will not be allowed touch eachother and stay two meters apart. The rules are to prevent any outbreak of Covid-19 among cast members during the filming of the show.
One of the producers involved told Today FM that the team are looking at how other countries are making the format work, and that they are evening looking at perspex screens for the "reveal" scene at the end of each date.
Hillary O'Donovan from Coco Content, the makers of the TV show - joined Dermot & Dave this morning to chat about the new seaosn.
