Home and Away’s Ash the first of MANY celebs going on First Dates

If you missed the big news yesterday, First Dates Ireland announced that Home and Away hunk, George Mason would be making a guest appearance on the show.

Yeah, we know – amazing!

Now while George Mason – who plays Ash on Home and Away – never actually went on a date, he watched from behind-the-scenes and gave his reactions and advice to the unlucky-in-love daters.

And from the moment he uttered ‘hello, how are ya?’ in his Aussie accent, he had us all swooning.

But it seems we’re not the only ones who are complete suckers for a good accent.

George himself admitted he ‘loves the Irish accent’ and was even a fan of our sharp tongues, repeatedly laughing every time someone said 'arse'.

And what's even better, is the news that George is just the first in a string of celebrities who will have the pleasure of creeping on the hopeful couples.

With Roz and Rachel Purcell, 2FM’s Eoghan McDermott and Chris and Ciara set to give their feedback, Thursday nights are quickly becoming our absolute favourites.
