Always a solid choice for an evening's entertainment, First Dates Ireland has long been delighting fans with daters' on-screen antics.
Back on telly boxes once again last night, viewers were particularly taken with one couple who have proven to be quite a hit on Twitter.
Known for accommodating daters across quite a wide age bracket, the couple in question were pensioners Mary and 'Mad' Johnny from Co Tipp. Both looking for love, they were well matched and I think it's safe to say the whole country was rooting for them.

Naturally, viewers were
very invested in the whole thing with everyone waiting with bated breath to see if they'd say yes to a second date.

Not to spoil things but it was a happy ending and the duo exchanged numbers which ultimately led to a second date.
