Cici from First Dates is planning a very different career off screen

‘Wanted to do this for such a long time’.

First Dates viewers will recognise Cici Coleman as one of the likeable and very popular waitresses on the Channel 4 show.

However, off-screen in real life, Cici is taking a different career path as she’s taking a course in personal training.

Sharing the news on her Instagram account recently alongside a number of fitness instruction manuals, Cici said:

“Wanted to do this for such a long time but kept putting it off. So here we go. Back to school with @fitnesstrainingsolutions, training to be a Personal Trainer. Any of ya’ll wanna PT (once I’m passed) hit me up”.

Not only that, Cici is also a trained actress and starred in three films after studying a film degree at the New York Academy.

Cici also appeared in drama Essex Vendetta alongside Daniella Westbrook and she has performed in a number of plays.

As fans of the dating show will know, Cici and fellow waitress Laura Tott are the best of friends and have become very popular as a result of their time on the show.

Laura too has a completely different career in real life and served in the Royal Navy before taking on a job as an ambulance technician.
