Fred Sirieix has detailed how fronting Channel 4's First Dates, which celebrates a 10 year milestone this year, has made him re-evaluate what is truly important in life during a chat with New this week. “Everyone is different and yet we’re all the same. We’re all looking for that respect and acceptance,” he says.
“There’s beauty in being open and not judgemental.This is when we really appreciate life and people for who they are.” The show started in 2013, following romantic hopefuls as they meet for dinner for the first time, with Fred welcoming them to the First Dates restaurant. We’ve been treated to some hilarious moments as well as tender scenes, but one thing is for certain – everyone is eager to fall head over heels in love. Recalling one of the funnier moments on the show, Fred, 51, says, “When we first started, there was this couple, both dancers in their 20s.They instantly connected and fancied one another.They were talking about aphrodisiac foods and she said she didn’t think oysters counted, but that olives did – and then went on to eat them very suggestively.
It was the funniest thing.” But the show has also taught Fred that life is not always a fairy tale. “People go on dates and they say they want this or they want that, but when they have people sitting in front of them, they can’t see it because they’re caught up in a fantasy world of what they’re expecting. If people focused more on what matters, which is kindness and being genuine, then I think it would work much better.” He adds, “We’re all on different stages of a journey and it doesn’t mean that if you embark on that journey earlier you’re going to be any better.
