First Dates' Fred Sirieix serves up joyous update on co-star CiCi Coleman's love life
Last month, First Dates maitre d'hotel Fred Sirieix and CiCi Coleman called upon single men to apply for the Channel 4 show if they wanted to date the waitress.
First Dates' CiCi Coleman has a "great" date on the upcoming series.
In March, maitre d'hotel, Fred Sirieix, 54, encouraged single men who want to date waitress CiCi, 39, to apply for the Channel 4 show, and he and bartender Merlin Griffiths, 51, have completed their task of setting her up with a potential lover.
Fred told the new issue of Heat magazine: "This is for the new series, but we have set up CiCi on a date, and it's looking great."
First Dates fans have long hoped to strike up a romance with the blonde beauty, and Fred and CiCi answered their prayers in a video shared to Instagram on March 8.
Fred appeared alongside the TV personality and said: "Right, CiCi, it's time to sort your love life out.
"So this is a shout-out to all you guys who have been dreaming of dating CiCi, and believe me, I’ve had so many direct messages."
CiCi chimed in: "When Fred says all, it means like 10 out of 10 men, let's just clarify that."
He continued: "10 out of 10 men. So if you want to date Ms CiCi, you need to apply, the link is below, and in a few days' time, you could be here in the First Dates restaurant having a date with the beautiful CiCi.
"So join the queue and apply right now."
Fred is keeping tight-lipped on what viewers can expect with the new series, which starts on April 10.
He said: "I don't like to tease too much because First Dates is First Dates, and this is what we do - we bring people together.
"What's lovely about the show is that people come for a reason - they want to find love."
First Dates first aired in June 2013, and the Channel 4 show still serves up excitement for Fred.
He said: "I don't think I can say it's more exciting, but I'm just as excited as ever.
"We are creating an experience for people. What we want is that in 10, 25, 20 years' time, they're going to remember that as one of the best experiences of their life.
"People come to us with a lot of hope, and we need to deliver both on the matchmaking side, as well as the experience in the restaurant."
