Holly and Fearne Go Dating, Wednesday 10pm, ITV1

Our rating:
Hopeless romantics, and those who enjoy laughing at desperate single people, have been at a loss since Cilla Black retired Blind Date in 2003. But the gaping TV chasm left behind by everyone’s favourite Liverpudlian lovebird might just be filled by ITV1’s new matchmaking show, Holly and Fearne Go Dating.
The concept is, of course, simple. Our BBFs (Blonde Best Friends) Holly Willoughby and Fearne Cotton choose an unlucky singleton each week and find them two suitors, one Holly’s choice and one Fearne’s. The show culminates in a date at the Hell’s Kitchen restaurant (ITV cross-branding alert!) where the lonely heart meets both dates – while our meddling cupids wait impatiently to find out if love is in the air.
With a combined showreel that includes Celebrity Wrestling, Love Island, Eurovision Making Your Mind Up and Greased Lightnin', Holly and Fearne’s new TV vehicle doesn’t promise to be highbrow viewing. But it is an excuse to watch them coo and run around a lot like Davina McCall did on her breakthrough late 1990s show Streetmate.
In tonight’s first installment, their victim is a green-fingered woman from Bristol. Holly hits the city's arts scene while Fearne goes to The Big Green Gathering in search of “man meat”. Will it be lust at first sight? Or will both the presenters’ dates be shown the door? Either way it promises to be a lorra lorra laughs.
I like this website, I will tell my friends on www.tallfriends.com and ask them to join in, I am sure they will love it.
