Maitre-d Fred Sirieix returns to take over a luxury hotel, where his team of matchmakers welcome more singletons. The first edition features former military paramedic Gareth from south Wales, who feels as though everybody already knows each other, and has found dating very tricky. Into the restaurant walks Carys, whom he was previously matched with on a dating app. As the evening progresses, it looks possible that fate has brought together two lonely hearts who would otherwise never have got past the swiping stage.

Twins Bethany and Shannon arrive at the Italian hotel, both on the lookout for love. Will either of their dates, Phil and Aaron, win over their respective sister? Meanwhile, 57-year-old Annie is paired with 47-year-old Rachel, who is looking to inject a bit of hedonism into her life on a date that proves opposites do attract.

Maitre d' Fred welcomes more singletons to the luxury Italian hotel, including private chef Georgia, who is impressed with her date Nick's knowledge of the local produce. History teacher Debbie hopes to find her knight in shining armour, while Sophie, who at 18 is the youngest guest to check in, reveals her love of animals, something she claims that men don't understand. Then along comes Billy, with his collection of pet tarantulas.
