FIRST Dates star Fred Sirieix has said fans of the show solicit him for advice about romantic quandaries, including whether or not to propose or whether to introduce a third person into a relationship.

The maitre d’, who has won scores of admirers for his role in the Channel 4 dating show, said he is now treated as an agony uncle by people facing personal dilemmas.

He said: “I have learned even more about the uncertainty of love. There is no certainty. It’s fascinating and will keep me guessing forever. People ask me for advice and ask me all sorts.

“It’s quite interesting to hear what people have to say. I’m not an expert, I’m not a trained professional or specialist, I just have an opinion on things and I’m very happy to volunteer it.

“It’s fascinating to hear what people have to say. They ask if they should propose or not. If they are married, maybe they ask whether they should introduced a third person in their marriage, all sorts.

“You name it and they say it. They are big questions, but my advice is between me and them.”

Sirieix said he feels like David Attenborough because the show is so similar to a nature programme in the way it observes human behaviour.

He said: “The programme is hardly edited. What you see is what you get. The people on the programme are having their date and it’s like a nature programme.

“I feel like David Attenborough sometimes because it’s like this nature programme where you are looking at how people are interacting with each other and it’s about much more than dating. It’s about all of us and it’s fascinating.”
