ROMANTIC ENCOUNTERS

First Dates Hotel, 9pm, Ch4

A NEW batch of singletons check in, hoping to find romance in the Italian sun. Ex-military paramedic Gareth finds the South Wales dating scene a bit frustrating — everyone already knows each other. And his date, Carys, is no stranger, either: the pair have already been matched on a dating app. Can a face-to-face encounter succeed where technology failed? Meanwhile, retired taxidermist Sandy has been set up with dog-lover Ray, and 33-year-old Ruesharn wants to fall in love for the very first time.
