The third episode of First Dates Ireland aired last night, much to the delight of viewers who have been waiting patiently for it over the past 7 days.
However, one of the dates used a derogatory term during his post-date interview which some people are suggesting should have been edited out by Coco TV…
“I can say midget can’t I” Jesus man, if you have to ask you should probably say nothing at all #FirstDatesIRL

@COCOtv_ It’s disappointing that the word midget was allowed to be broadcast on #FirstDatesIRL tonight. It’s derogatory and antiquated.

So far there has been no response from Coco TV, but a public apology is the very least they can do. If you too were offended by their choice to broadcast such a dated and offensive term, you can let them know here.
