A well-known influencer Molly Roberts, who appeared on last week's episode of First Dates Ireland has offered viewers a behind the scenes look at what happens on the RTÉ show.
The Mayo influencer went on a date with actor Roy from Knocklyon. The pair hit it off on the date but in a follow up Molly posted to her TikTok account she said: "It has been like crickets but my nana loves him, she thinks we are getting married but I am like I don't even know the guy."

In a separate vlog, Molly showed followers what they can expect if they go on First Dates with a behind the scenes vlog.
Molly is first seen to do her pre-date interview first and then one month after she goes on her date. When you then arrive for your date, Molly explains: "They bring you to a little holding room where there is food and wine and background daters too.
"After this you film your walk in and then you have the date. After that you fill your post-date interview and then you film stuff for socials and then your walk outs. It is a long day, I was there about six hours. I was wrecked before I got on the date and then the date was about one hour and a half long but they decided when it is over, they just bring you the bill. It is a lot of emotional energy to be giving in one day but it was so fun. Even though I didn't find my true love, my date was really sweet to me so I would recommend."
Fans are shocked at how long it takes, one user commented under the video: "Six hours is so long, no way."
Another user said: "Wow, sounds like such a long day."
