One year later, this First Dates Ireland couple are still together

by

We're super excited about First Dates Ireland returning to our TV screens tonight.

Like many people watching the show, after five minutes, we think the daters are our own best friends and we cheer them on through our TV screens.

So, that's why we were delighted to hear that a couple from the last series are still together. Yay!

You might remember Ciaran Farrell from last year – he was a self-confessed shy man, but of course, viewers loved him even more for it.

He was set up with Katie Greene on the show, and now, the couple are just about the celebrate their first anniversary of being a couple.

Speaking to Ryan Tubridy on his radio show, Katie, who now lives in Toronto, explained their situation.

"I knew when I was doing the show that I was moving to Canada, so in the beginning, we took things quite slow. Then I moved to Toronto in June and we were in constant contact, talking every day.

"We actually had a great date, a really natural and fun date. Everyone thought Ciaran was way more shy than he was but people don't always appear as they are [on the show]."

And Ciaran joined in on the conversation too, adding that even though they went on a few dates before Katie moved away, they only became official when she moved to Canada.

"It all fell into place when I visited Katie [in Toronto] in October. We went to Niagara Falls, we had Thanksgiving over there, we went gambling in the casinos in Niagara… At the end of the trip, I asked her if she'd like to be my girlfriend."

Guys, we can't deal. Ciaran also added that going on First Dates was "one of the best things [he has] ever done."

We're even more excited to tune in tonight now.
