Both Widowed on Feb 13: Jean Meets John | First Dates UK | S9 E6

An 83-year-old pin-up and a widower discover they lost their spouses on the same date, while other hopefuls chase sparks in Manchester's First Dates restaurant. In tonight's First Dates UK, 20-year-old uni student Nathaniel arrives with old-school manners and a plan to start a football and rugby coaching business. He meets Victoria, an office manager who wants ambition and humor. From mishearing Pinot Grigio to swapping stories about being cheated on, they click over shared values and big goals. Jean, 83, steals the show with tales of pin-up modelling from 1957 and even a page three photo last August. She’s paired with John, a gym-going gentleman. Their tender conversation turns astonishing when they realise both their partners passed away on February 13. The bond is instant, the laughter warm, and they agree they’d like to see each other again. Midwife Kat is open about wanting a family and even considered being a surrogate before lockdown made her rethink her timeline. Her date, 6'3 former strongman Matt, shrugs off a foot-in-mouth moment and shows his gentle side, but when decision time comes he admits the chemistry isn’t there for him. Housekeeper Luke sweeps in serving queen energy and meets David, a Portuguese hairdresser new to the UK. Between matching vibes, lessons in what makes something camp, and sips of pineapple-spiked cocktails, Luke shares past hurts and finds a date who lets him be 100 percent himself. These two say yes to a second date and a night of dancing. Which match had you rooting tonight?
