We can't believe how Abi and Mark's date went from hellish to romantic
Who else was totally surprised by First Dates last night? What seemed like a DISASTROUS date between sweet-natured Mark and catty yoga teacher Abi finished with the pair confirming a second date! Were they seeing what we were seeing?

But Mark turned it all around with these profound words: ‘You’re trying to protect yourself by flattening me. You’ve got a nice core, but you’re protecting it,’ to which she responded with letting her guard down and opening up.
She had a ❤️ after all! #firstdates

Later on, she initiated flirty conversation about ‘dirty sex’, before it was revealed that the pair were still dating. Ooer!
Big Brother’s Mark Byron, clearly a romantic, was (unlike the rest of us) not at all surprised, decided that the ‘chalk n’ cheese’ pair were meant to be…
