First Dates are looking for Edinburgh singles to apply
You could find love AND be a TV star in weeks
The producers of First Dates, the hit Channel 4 show, are on the hunt for smoking Scottish singles for the new series.
Although it is filmed in Central London, the production team are urging lonely hearts in Edinburgh to apply.
The application involves submitting a photo or a video of yourself (or your unknowing flatmate) and answering a few basic questions online. The producers then contact anyone they are interested in and potentially send them on their way to their fifteen minutes of fame.
Applications can be found here.
