First Dates viewers gushed over a brave woman who whipped off her wig on a date to reveal her bald head.
Thursday night’s episode took a look back at some of the most memorable daters to appear on the show over the past 8 years.
It cast a light on an episode from 2017 where beauty therapist Eve, who suffers from alopecia, met teaching assistant Jordan.
Eve, 22, showed up at the show’s restaurant in a long, dark wig.
After the pair started to get acquainted, Eve stunned Jordan when she said: “I’ve got no hair. I wear a wig”, before revealing her bald head.

She went on to say: “And I’ve got tattoos.
“I’ve got alopecia so my hair just falls out.”
John, 25, gasped before going on a charm offensive – telling her she looks great without a wig.
He said: “It suits you.”
Eve popped to loo and decided to ditch her wig for the rest of the date.
Jordan then told her: “I like it. It’s unique,” and many viewers flocked to Twitter to tell how they agreed with his comments on the throwback episode.

He said: “If the energy’s right when you first meet somebody, they could have a bald head, I don’t care.
“It’s the personality and the energy they give off I’m looking for.”
Eve, from Bridgend in Wales, also welled up after telling how she suffered from alopecia since she was a kid
She said: “I went through school and I was bullied because I had no eyebrows. I don’t ever remember feeling upset about it but I do now.
“It’s really hard.”
She added: “My parents have to save really hard for me to have nice hair.
“My dad works so hard. He drew on my first set of eyebrows.”
