Watching #BlindDate for the first time in probably 20 years and delighted to see how far it's come: POC & LGBT like it ain't no big deal ??

A spokesperson for the show previously said that they would be opening up the show to everyone saying:Cilla is looking down on this smiling. It's been over 30 yrs in the making #blinddate

"Since the show’s end in 2003, representation of lesbian, gay, bi and trans people has come a long way, and we hope to see Blind Date’s move inspire shows of a similar format to extend their remits to include LGBT people too. Not only will this send a strong message that LGBT people and their relationships are valid, but it can also enable viewers to learn more about LGBT people and their relationships."
