Meanwhile old school romantic and multi-instrumentalist Garry, 73, from Wexford makes sweet music with line dancer and marathon runner Mary, 71, from Galway.
And professional auto detailer Colm, 28, from Dublin accelerates from a standing start with petrolhead and ‘classy car girl’ Sorcha, 25, from Donegal.
