The immediate favourite was Davide - the ‘Italian Stallion’ - who earned rave reviews from the female participants.

However, unlike previous series, it was up to the public to work out who would be partnered up. The couples were: Amber and Dami, Gemma and Liam, Indiyah and Ikenna, Tasha and Andrew and Paige and Luca.

Davide, left without a partner, received a message informing him that, in the next episode, he would pick a woman of his choice, breaking up one of the couples and leaving one of the men vulnerable.
