First Dates Hotel: Sharon and Kenny had more in common than they BARGAINED for! Wed 10 October

The First Dates spin-off show is onto its third series.

In the heart of Italy at the First Dates Hotel, we met 43-year-old Sharon from Essex.

Episode 5 saw Sharon meet Kenny, a car salesman who was from Essex, too.

But their hometown wasn’t the only thing the pair had in common.

We were introduced to Sharon as waitress Laura Tott caught up with her in her room.

Sharon said she just wanted to meet “someone cheeky like her”.

Sharon Meets Kenny Cars

Kenny or ‘Kenny Cars’ as he’s known, said he’s been single for years.

He said he goes home to his dog, Diesel, but he’d “love to be married and have someone there”.

Kenny also mentioned that he had a wife a long time ago and leaves us asking, what happened?

Kenny and Sharon’s First Date

Next, it’s time for the pair to go on their date.

We see Sharon, exit her hotel room saying some wise words: “let’s not trip over”.

Sharon pretty much gets lost on the way to her date before actually being rescued by Fred Sirieix and escorted to the restaurant.

Will someone get Sharon a map please?#FirstDatesHotel
