'First Dates Ireland' returned for a new season last night with another batch of singletons arriving in the restaurant looking for love.
First through the door was 34-year-old Barry-John from South Dublin who was quite the... character, shall we say?
The ladies man was set up with Slovakian model Katarina and didn't impress her very much when one of the first things he asked was whether she had cheated on her last boyfriend.

The pair decided to go their separate ways at the end of the night but not without the whole nation getting a look at Barry-John's rear-end.
Needless to say, Twitter had plenty of opinions on him:

I used to work with someone like this arse Barry John
Like the cockiness and rudeness to women
I thought I knew him then I realised he just reminded me of that person 😂😂#FirstDatesIRL— CROSSY (@CrossyTweets) January 9, 2020
If you were a fan of Barry-John, you can hear more from him in his podcast, yes podcast, which he is launching next week.
