The final encounter in the latest series of Channel 4's First Date series introduced shopping-hater Joe to personal shopper Nicole (below).

The stylist, who bragged about the number of times she's been proposed to, confided to her blind date, "I don't know why but I've always fancied it - I would have loved to be Jewish."

What Joe thought about the wannabe-Jewess's dream I don't know but you can imagine his view of being hauled off to Brent Cross.
