After much anticipation, we finally have an air date for the Irish Blind Date.
TV3 has finally announced that the show will begin on Sunday, October 8th at 9pm.
The show, which is an Irish revival of the original dating show hosted by Cilla Black, aims to help people find love.
Comedian Al Porter is hosting and said he is very excited to be part of the show.
Earlier this year he said: “I’m beyond delighted this is happening and leaped at the chance to do it! Since I was a kid on stage in the Olympia all I’ve ever wanted to do was cheer people up and entertain as many people as possible.”
The Dubliner added that he was always a big fan of the show.
“I remember watching shows like Blind Date with Cilla as my Mam ironed and my Nana laughed and it doing just that – cheering us all up!”
He added that he is very grateful for the exiting opportunity.
“To think I’ve the opportunity to be welcomed into people’s homes each week on TV3 for a bit of shiny, silly fun is a privilege and I hope people love it! Most fun for me, is like my Panto and radio work, Blind Date on TV3 will be broad fun, family entertainment! …Now, to practice saying “what’s your name, where do you come from?!”
