My Date was in a dress but it didn’t drag
Tadgh, 18, tells all on RTE series
Tadgh on First Dates Tadhg admitting he had never gone out with anyone before.
He told the Irish Sunday Mirror: “I don’t even know why I went on the show. I thought at least it will be a proper date.
FLAMBOYANT
“If I met someone online I could go and they’re like, 60. At least I knew this would be legit.”
Zack, from Co Offaly, arrives at the First Dates restaurant and hands maitre’d Mateo his pink boa before confiding his granny crocheted him a pair of boobs as he couldn’t afford falsies.
As soon as Tadgh sits down he compliments his date’s flamboyant outfit and the pair quickly realise they are both huge fans of Rupaul’s Drag Race.
Zack tells how he came out at the age of 12 and was bullied at school.
Tadhg said: “It’s so important for gay people to live our lives – we’re carving a path for others.” Without giving too Zack turned up in drag much away, he added: “I was kind of nervous going in at first but the whole crew were so supportive.
“It doesn’t bother me what people think because I know I represented myself well.
“I just hope they enjoy watching it. I don’t want anyone to take it too seriously. It’s only a date, a bit of fun.”
First Dates Ireland is on RTE Two on Thursday at 9.30pm.
