A First Dates guest got Fred Sirieix’s name wrong and viewers were unimpressed: “Oh the shame!”

Fred, Frank – what’s the difference, right? First Dates maître d’ Fred Sirieix may fancy himself as a TV star and dating expert, but one visitor to his restaurant dealt a blow to his ego by calling him “Frank”.

"Thanks Frank". Good to see Tallulah is a fan of the show… #firstdates pic.twitter.com/MXtzNdR2Rm

Luckily he took it in his stride, shooting back “it’s Fred” but then telling her not to worry as she giggled in embarrassment.

"Cheers Frank!"
"It's Fred" ???????? #firstdates

But though some viewers were less than impressed, Teddy and Tallulah soon won them over with a charming date.

And Teddy even praised Fred’s good looks, observing: “He is quite a handsome man though. If I was going to go for a male, I’d probably choose him.”

Even the lesbians love Fred. I mean, is there anyone that man can't charm!? No….no is the answer. #FirstDates

Pink-haired Tallulah, 21, was a little worried that 26-year-old Teddy didn’t like her – so she was beyond delighted when Teddy wanted to see her again and even continue the date. The two headed off for drinks…

I'm liking Tallulah and Teddy #firstdates They make a good couple ????????????
