RTE First Dates Ireland viewers left baffled after contestant's bizarre admission

RTE's First Dates Ireland was back on our screens last night and it provoked a big reaction on social media.

Ireland's favourite dating show saw the latest cast of singletons try their luck in search of their perfect match.

And Dylan and Conor were the first to grab viewers' attention.

Not only do they seem to get along like a house on fire but the pair have the same taste in food and many have mistaken them for twins.

However the biggest bombshell was held until towards the end of the episode after the date between 28-year-old graphic designer Mark from Dublin and palm reading dentist Emily.

Mark explained that their connection was unlikely to last as he revealed that he was planning to move to Australia.

And viewers were left baffled as they queried why the Dubliner was taking part in the dating show in the first place.

One wrote: "Why go on the show when ur moving away?"

While another added: "WHY ARE YOU ON FIRST DATES IF YOURE MOVING TO AUSTRALIA.

"GIVE ME STRENGTH."

Here is all the best of the social media reaction to last night's episode:
