First Dates Hotel fans were in for an eyeful this evening, as Fred Sirieix kicked off the episode in a pair of Speedos.
The 48-year-old maître d’ could be seen climbing out of the swimming pool in the opening scenes of the show, having gone for a morning swim.
Usually, fans are more accustomed to seeing Fred in a tailored suit, as he welcomes hopeful romantics into the restaurant for a blind date.
To see Fred with so much flesh on show left certain viewers feeling a little hot under the collar, as they took to Twitter to express their surprise.
One said: “Fred in speedos. Thank you Channel 4!”
A second added: “Ooh la la @fredsirieix1”
While a third agreed: “Wow, @fredsirieix1 is looking good!”
“Wooooohooooo a French man in budgie smugglers! Most exciting thing to happen all week!” added a fourth.
First Dates Hotel fans were in for another surprise this evening, when the mum of a famous pop star appeared on the show, looking for love.
Duncan James’ stunning mother, Fiona, checked in to the infamous hotel, on the lookout for her dream man.
Speaking about her motivation to come on the show, she said: “I’m here because my son came here last year and he said it was great.
“It would be absolutely superb to meet somebody who was a kindred spirit.
“When you’re younger it’s all about sex, but when you’re older it’s all about companionship.”
She added: “I know my son calls me a lot but it would be nice to have a second person that would worry about me and care about me.”
The First Dates matchmakers paired Fiona with naval officer Eric, with the two dining out in the hotel restaurant before looking at the stars from under a blanket.
With sparks flying between the lovebirds, Fiona and Eric made plans to meet again once they return to the UK.
First Dates Hotel airs on Thursdays at 9pm on Channel 4.
