When is Teen First Dates on E4?

This new six-part series will also introduce the new First Dates restaurant in Manchester as it opens it doors to the intrepid teens aged 16-19, who'll experience the excitement of a real-life, face-to-face blind date.

Though the teenagers aren't necessarily ready to meet 'The One' and settle down just yet, the dates will at least encourage them to put down their smart phones, escape the pressures of social media and even learn a lot about themselves.

Channel 4 adds: "They’ll be able to put their flirting to the test, but most importantly, take a journey of self-discovery. Through their own experiences and viewpoints, the teens will explore who they are, who they want to be, and what it takes to make the perfect connection with another person."

Fred, Merlin, Cici, Grant will be back alongside some new faces on hand to guide the teens through their journey step-by-step.

In light of the pandemic, Channel 4 says all dates have been conducted in compliance with strict COVID-19 filming protocols and the most up to date government guidelines.
