Romantic reality series First Love features a familiar face

Virgin Media's new romantic reality series First Love is a new take on an old formula, which sees people reconnect with their first loves.

The second series which aired last night saw a familiar face appear on our screens, Teresa Doran, who is happily married to Sean.

However, she met first love Beat in her late teens while at the French seaside town of Saint Malo, and explained how the two enjoyed a brief and whimsical romance before parting ways, but kept in touch over the years via letter.

The programme follows Teresa as she travels back to the magical Saint Malo to meet Beat – who travelled 10 hours by train from his native Switzerland to be there.

Teresa was delighted to be able to meet Beat once again - wandering through the city revisiting their old haunts and reminiscing about their time together, and, asking him the burning question, was he ever in love with her?

“You have your first love which gives you the butterflies and all the rest of it but you’re really probably too young to know what to do about it", Teresa mused.

“You have to kiss a good few frogs before you find a prince,” she added, laughing.

First Love episode 2 is now available on the Virgin Media Player.
