If you watched First Dates Ireland last year, you'll probably remember Phil Penny.
The Tallafornia star received backlash after telling his date she had a "nice little hoop".

Now, Phil is back to redeem himself. He's set to appear in this week's episode of the hit dating show.
Speaking to The Irish Mirror, he said: “I was very bad last year. I got a lot of negative comments. I wanted to redeem myself, to do it alcohol-free this time and show people the real me. I was embarrassed about last year’s show. My mother wasn’t impressed. She rang me and said I made an idiot of myself. I felt like I let her down.
“But this time I’m hoping she’ll be 100% proud."
