First Dates star Fayth Byrne has said she would love for her 'glamorous nan' to go on the dating show.
Fayth found love last year with site foreman James Farrell, 23, when the pair met on the RTÉ One show, and on Friday, they announced on the Late Late Show that they were expecting their first child together.
Now the healthcare assistant said she would love her 'glamorous' nanny, Valerie Genockey, 59, to sign up for the dating show.
‘My mam was more up the walls at what my nanny was going to say... I didn’t have a father in my life, so my nanny and my mam reared me. She is my 'go to' person and I just felt like, because it was so short of knowing James, I was afraid she might be shocked.
‘But she took it so well. It was a little miracle, and she was over the moon. Both our families were.’
Fayth and James announced on Friday that they were the first couple on the show to be expecting their first baby together later this year.
The 21-year-old said the response to their exciting news has been 'overwhelming' but she cannot wait for the next chapter in their loves.
'It’s been a lot. You’re not used to going on social media and seeing your picture,' Fayth said.
Fayth and James' first date will air on Thursday 19 February on First Dates Ireland RTE2 at 9:35pm.
