First Dates was always a reality TV show with a heart to it but last night we had our hearts almost jumping out of our chests as the show had its first ever sign-language date and it was a hit.
It saw design student John Charles (27) from Edenderry, a member of the Deaf community, meet HR professional Stephen (24) from Dublin, who is fluent in sign language as well as being Mr Gay Ireland.
It turned out the pair had met before and immediately hit it off in what was one of the loveliest matches the show has had all season.
