Then it’s fun-loving super-positive Brazilian waiter Luis, who takes to the stage with sassy Nigerian playwright Doyle.
Next up is primary school teacher and comedian Sinead (above, right) from Louth, who shares her passion for the unconventional with idiosyncratic part-time DJ John (above, left) from Shankill.
Finally, it’s former inter-county footballer and Paul Mescal lookalike Hugh from Kildare who enters the gladiatorial arena with trainee lawyer and 'curly mullet’ aficionado Aisling from Limerick.

In this season 22 (!) opener, a fitness fanatic-turned-entrepreneur from Liverpool gets pulses racing and tears flowing with his inspirational story against all the odds.

Return of the comedy sketch show, starring Sean Burke, Michael Fry, Justine Stafford, Emma Doran and Killian Sundermann, for a second season.
Following a first run featuring sketches that generated tens of millions of views online, the crew returns with a fresh batch of fast-paced sketches that promise to be bigger, better and bolder.
Expect TV spoofs such as Winning Shriek, Grannys’ Den, Last Dates, Bros of Tralee, along with ads for a very hungover baby doll, Irish Monopoly, every bank during GAA season, and a warning about the dangers of returning from the shops without a little surprise.
Sandi’s Great British Woodland Restoration, 8.00pm, Channel 4
These kinds of shows are growing increasingly niche.
Here, Sandi Toksvig (above) and her wife Debbie acquire a 40-acre ancient woodland in southern England dating from 1600, home to trees, streams, meadows and wildlife, but overgrown and diseased.
In the first episode, it's winter and faced with a dark, overgrown jungle, Sandi begins to make a plan to create space and light in the wood and increase biodiversity.
With locals' help, they revive the site by felling trees, building wildlife ponds and releasing orphaned owls while shedding light on Britain's woodland crisis.
Far North, 10pm, U&Alibi
From New Zealand, where it was a great success, here's a six-part comedy drama crime caper series.
Created by David White, who co-wrote with Mingjian Cui and Suli Moa and co-directed with Cui, it's partly inspired by the Jared Savage's non-fiction book Underbelly: Inside NZ’s Biggest Meth Bust.
It stars Robyn Malcolm and Temuera Morrison as a couple mixed up with an majorly inept drug trafficking gang.
This is a really good BBC comedy drama, written by and starring Michelle de Swarte.
She stars as international catwalk model Mia, who is declared bankrupt in America and flees back home to London, only to find life has moved on for everyone else.
For example, her mother Chrissy is caring for a teenage girl from her estate, while her best friend Jo is getting married.
Unable to admit the shame of her situation, Mia finds herself in limbo, but things improve when a rare modelling job arises.
Clint Eastwood: The Man With No Name, 9.20pm, BBC Four
Another chance to see this profile of the legendary American actor and film director in which he talks to Iain Johnstone.
It also features the likes of Richard Burton, Sergio Leone, Don Siegel, Pauline Kael and Dilys Powell.
There are extracts from some of Eastwood's output, including Rawhide, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Where Eagles Dare, The Outlaw Josey Wales and The Enforcer.
First broadcast 23 February 1977.
And there’s more Eastwood to admire!
It’s preceded at 7pm by the admirably quaint Kelly’s Heroes, a WWII caper film starring Eastwood and – best and bizarrest of all – Donald Sutherland as hippie tank commander Oddball.
Followed at 10.20pm by the Raymond Chandler-esque WWII drama, Where Eagles Dare. It’s almost as confusing as The Maltese Falcon. Great fun.
American Primeval, Netflix
Betty Gilpin and Taylor Kitsch star in this gritty, violent period drama.
This is not Downton Abbey USA. This is America, 1857. Up is down, pain is everywhere, innocence and tranquility are losing the battle to hatred and fear.
Peace is the shrinking minority, and very few possess grace - even fewer know compassion. There is no safe haven in these brutal lands, and only one goal matters: survival.
American Primeval is a fictionalized dramatization and examination of the violent collision of culture, religion, and community as men and women fight and die to keep or control the land.
On Call, Prime Video
Co-produced by Dick Wolf (Law & Order, Chicago and FBI franchises), this promises to be an adrenalized procedural that puts viewers inside the squad car and on the streets with Long Beach Police.
Through training officer Traci Harmon, and rookie Alex Diaz the series examines how the complexities of the job affects the human condition.
Harmon will be enlightened by a kid from the streets, while Diaz will learn that policing isn’t black and white - it requires shades of grey.
The Upshaws, Netflix
Bennie Upshaw (Mike Epps), the head of a Black working-class family in Indianapolis, is a charming, well-intentioned mechanic and lifelong mess just trying his best to step up and care for his family.
But the Upshaws are determined to make it work, and make it to the next level, together.
As the show resumes, the Upshaws continue to ride life’s ups and downs, including new jobs, bigger dreams, health struggles and some major life surprises but still hanging on with the love that comes with family.
