In the previous episode, the five single stars all went on their first dates - dates that our famous faces got to choose for themselves.

So it's time for the matchmakers to step in and work their magic, as they'll be picking the stars' next dates. Joey Essex is set up with 21-year-old creative director Natalie, heading to a teriyaki restaurant, but after initially finding Natalie reem, will Joey's date end up a d-reem or a nightmare?

And, after finding out that her first date Corrie didn't want to see her again, Paisley Billings is left in tears. As a novice to the dating game, and the first celebrity to have their heart bruised, will Paisley give up on love?
