First Dates star Fred Sirieix was left surprised after the hit Channel 4 show was pulled from schedules.
The reasoning behind this sudden move was reportedly down to “editorial reasons”. However, Fred claimed to be none the wiser as to what had truly happened.
First Dates pulled from air
Tuesday night (January 9) saw First Dates taken off air by Channel 4.
The second episode of the show’s 20th series was meant to air at 10pm on Channel 4 Tuesday night. However, a repeat was shown instead.
Viewers were left even more baffled when episode one was then removed from the channel’s streaming service. This was despite episode one airing as normal last week.
“Literally spent 20m flicking everywhere and wondering why I can’t get the latest #FirstDates on catchup,” one fan grumbled at the time.
“Where have the recent episodes of #FirstDates gone ?? Cannot find them on @Channel4 ???” another wrote.
Speaking to The Sun, a Channel 4 spokesperson said: “Episodes were removed for editorial reasons and the new series will resume next Tuesday at 10pm.”
