FIRST Dates fans felt sympathetic for one singleton who had a few clumsy moments broadcast to the nation.

Conor Boyle, 25, admitted that his dating life was a 'disaster' before going on the Channel 4 show.

Part of the reason why quickly became clear as the Scot had several mishaps on camera while meeting his Prince Charming.

Show bosses paired Conor with Edinburgh local Adam, who also hadn't had much luck in the romance department.

He shared that he found dating apps 'disheartening' and wanted to meet someone in person.

The couple provided a lot of entertainment for viewers as Adam kicked off the date by trying to teach Conor how to play the bagpipes.

He was not impressed by the impromptu music lesson, but the pair soon found their groove and began to have a lot of fun.

Adam started sharing what went wrong with one of his recent dating experiences, saying: "The last date I went on, we went round the Christmas markets in Edinburgh.

"It was nice, but there was just no chat."

While the piper was midway through his story, Conor accidentally knocked his full glass off the table, spilling it everywhere.

That was only his first blunder of the night, and Adam joked: "You did say you were clumsy."

Later on, while en route to the men's room, Conor had another gaffe as he tripped on the stairs and collapsed on the floor.

Viewers were left in hysterics after witnessing the scenes.

One person joked: "Is the Scottish kid steaming or what!? Tips the drink, then f***s it down on the stairs! Ffs brilliant."

Another laughed: "Even though I saw it on the All 4 version last week, that stair fall is still hilarious."

A third even asked: "Did the Scottish lad just say nothing about the spilt drink and let Fred slip in it?"

Others expressed sympathy for him, saying: "That poor lad, why would you broadcast him going a**e over t*t on the stairs?"

Despite the slip ups, Conor and Adam hit it off, and ended up sharing a tender moment towards the end of the night.

Plus sized Conor admitted the search for love hasn't always been easy for him, adding: "When you're told that you're not good looking, it starts to stick in the back of your head.

"I feel like everyone deserves love though. I hope in 20 years I'm looking back with a husband and a family."

Both agreed they would like to see the other person again, with Conor calling the date 'absolutely great'.
