Avocado Cocktail and a Dental Manager: Yasmin Meets Ryan | First Dates UK | S5 E23

An avocado cocktail kicks off a festive First Dates UK. Yasmin meets Ryan, a dental clinic manager with perfect timing and even better teeth. Operations manager Yasmin arrives with a clear checklist: tall, confident and great teeth. Ryan manages two dental and facial clinics, dives right in with a sip of her avocado cocktail and a cheeky compliment on her smile. After a sticky dessert, he even jokes he has floss. Between laughs, they open up about past hurt - his engagement that unraveled over time and her ex who cheated - and agree they would like to see each other again. Elsewhere in the restaurant, high-end caterer Mandy makes an entrance with her signature bird in her hair and stories of serving Princess Anne. She’s paired with Robert, an antique carpet dealer who once sold a rug for £2 million. Their banter is warm, witty and very British, but they mutually keep things friendly. Events manager Roisin, a self-confessed party girl who once ended up on Axl Rose’s tour bus, meets Johnny, a software account manager and band manager with LA tales and a surprising aversion to garlic. They click over travel and nightlife, yet decide they’re better as friends. Eccentric embroiderer Scott, who designs for the Royal Family, bonds with Jim from the Royal Academy of Arts over ornate shirts and decadent taste. And old-school romantic Mehmet turns up with flowers for princess-in-waiting Sophie; they laugh about mixing “nice” and “bad” qualities in a partner, even if that elusive spark proves hard to find. As the team wraps the last service of the year, they toast a whirlwind 2016 in the restaurant - 111 dates, 70 matches and even a baby on the way - and wish everyone a Merry Christmas. #FirstDatesUK #FirstDates #BlindDate #Christmas #RealityTV #Dating #Love
