Kildare ‘Paul Mescal lookalike’ on First Dates Ireland

First Dates Ireland Hugh and Aisling hit it off on the First Dates Ireland.

A KILDARE man graced our screens at the beginning of the month on the much beloved show First Dates Ireland.

23-year-old former county footballer Hugh from Kildare went on a blind date with 20-year-old Aisling from Limerick.

The two shared a successful date, even after the ‘Paul Mescal lookalike’ spilled his pint of Guinness on himself within the first few minutes.

Aisling clearly didn’t mind this, as she later said that she was “weak at the knees” for him.

The pair shared past dating experiences and laughs about student life in Limerick, and sparks were flying.

Aisling was taken with the mullet and tattoos on Hugh, similar to Kildare’s own Paul Mescal.

Although Hugh missed his chance to win the Mescal lookalike competition in Dublin in November, he certainly did not miss a chance for another date with Aisling, as the two met up again after the show.
