Viewers were enraged after discovering that tonight’s episode was, in fact, a rerun.
As the second episode of the series unfolded, fans expected to see a new set of Brits embarking on a quest for love.
Viewers were displeased with the unexpected change.
One user took to X/Twitter and wrote: “What happened to #FirstDates? I missed the announcement…”
Another added: “The second episode was on All 4 ……and that too was removed tonight …. I wonder if something occurred with the daters?”
A third penned: “#FirstDates What? The new series is an old repeat?”
A fourth wrote: “WTF! So there’s no showing of the 2nd episode in the new series. Was looking forward to it all night. Thanks.”
A fifth added: “When you wait all day for a new First Dates episode in the new restaurant and it’s canceled seconds before 10pm.
“Why do we want to see a repeat, thought Channel 4 was canceling shows to make new ones!”
The new season of the Channel 4 dating series hit the screens last week, bringing a fresh batch of hopeful daters on a quest for their perfect match.
