First Dates Hotel viewers delighted as Thalia overcomes ‘phobia of snogging’ after finding someone special

First Dates Hotel viewers were delighted to see guest Thalia overcome her ‘phobia of snogging’ to kiss her date on Wednesday’s show.

The first episode of the new series saw singletons enjoy a trip to paradise, heading to a Italian hotel to meet someone special.

Thalia, a 24-year-old from Hornchurch, was introducing herself to camera when she said: ‘I can’t snog. Is that going to be a problem?’

She opened up and said her ex-boyfriend told her she was a bad kisser, which explained her phobia.

Speaking about her type, she added: ‘I attract the bad boy. It’s like a magnet to me… I need to find Mr. Right.’

She was delighted to see Jack sit down across from her at the bar – a 25-year-old from Colchester who described herself as a ‘modern day Tarzan’.

The pair hit it off, and they both agreed that their dream first date would be a trip to Thorpe Park.

Jack also opened up about his battle with blood cancer, revealing that he was diagnosed with stage three cancer and made a full recovery.

The pair then took themselves outside by the pool, cuddling up under the stars.

They agreeing to see each other again, before jumping into the swimming pool together and sharing a kiss.

Viewers were delighted to see the pair share a special moment together.

‘What a lovely couple!’ one wrote.

‘Jack and Thalia are both incredible people, and they also look brilliant together,’ another said.

The pair also enjoyed a second date, heading down to the spa together the morning after the date.

First Dates Hotel continues on Wednesday at 9pm on Channel 4.
