Aarron and Ibiba were brought together on the show back in June 2016, and discovered that they live just two minutes apart in Bristol. They also learned that they have a family connection: Ibiba’s mum and Aarron’s dad had worked for 10 years together as social workers.

During their date, however, Aarron expressed reluctance at having any more children – which turned out to be more than a little awkward as, by the time the episode aired in October, Ibiba was already pregnant.

Speaking to The Sunday Mirror shortly after the episode aired, Aarron said: “It hit me when I went to the first scan how excited I was. I can’t wait to go back to the restaurant with our new baby and show Fred, the maître d’.

“I never expected to find love, let alone have a kid. It’s absolutely nuts – but I’m so happy.”
