Yahoo News Blind Date viewers shocked by cheating dater
For those who think Blind Date is a nice, rather vanilla dating show, think again.
Tonight's (July 21) episode featured so much snake behaviour, it could have been an episode of Love Island - featuring Paul O'Grady of course.
It was all going so well... and then Plum found out James already had a girlfriend. 😲#BlindDate 💕 | @MsMelanieSykes | @my5_tv pic.twitter.com/IeL6xHfqDd

As regular viewers may already know, last week's couple, James and Plum, went on a holiday to Sri Lanka for their date and really hit it off . They got on so well in fact that Plum casually mentioned marriage, which nearly made James fall off his fishing perch (we feel you, James).
Marriage comment fecked it for her lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #BlindDate

However, they got on so well and even had a cheeky snog on the beach at sunset, which made a happy ever after inevitable, right? Well, not quite.
Plum then dropped the bombshell that she found out James actually had a girlfriend the whole time! Awks.
He had a gf?! Wtf #blinddate

Well, naturally she really wasn't impressed and told him she didn't like him anymore, and her mum didn't like him either, which pretty much destroyed any chance of a future date (or wedding, for that matter).
Hahahahahaha fucking go on lass!!!!! #blinddate #awks

Viewers were pretty enthralled by this Love Island-like behaviour and couldn't quite believe James could go on the show while he had a girlfriend at home.
What a fucking snake. He's not even sorry #BlindDate

This guy went on #BlindDate, knowing he was in a relationship, went to SRI LANKA with his match-girl and didn’t tell her until the end of the trip. WHAT. What a bellend, James. You are a bellend.

Does James think that his girlfriend isn't going to see this on TV? Pretty obvious someone is going to tell her 😂 #blinddate

Why are the audience and the guy laughing on #blinddate with this guy who went on the show, met a girl, flirted kissed and then she found out ON THE SHOW that he had a girlfriend? Acting that way ISNT a joke. what a vile piece of shit

Send the pair of them over to the Love Island villa and see how they survive in there - we'd definitely watch that.
Hey, at least there wasn't another shoes with no socks disaster tonight though, right?
