Hughie Maughan reveals details of €9,000 bum procedure as he returns to RTE First Dates Ireland

Hughie Maughan returned to First Dates Ireland on Thursday night's episode after the "disastrous date" he had on a previous episode of the show.

The TV and social media star chatted to barman Neil before his date arrived and ended up describing how he came to have a €9,000 bum.

Neil assured the hopeful dater that "it looks good".

Hughie told him that in Turkey, he had fat injected into his bum.

He revealed: "I basically had fat taken from several areas of my body, under my neck, on my tummy and the bottom of my back and put it all into my bum. I couldn't sit down, lie down or do anything for six or seven weeks."

"I had to constantly kneel at the dining table while I was eating. I never got into the car for weeks," he added.

Although viewers tended to be in support of Hughie during his second attempt at dating on the show, many couldn't stop talking about the star's €9,000 bum admission.

One person wrote on Twitter: "I could think of a few things of what I would rather spend €9000 but fair play to him for going for it."

27-year-old Hughie was paired with Cork man Jason who was on the hunt for a nice person with a "decent beard".

Hughie's last appearance on First Dates Ireland was somewhat infamous as fans blasted the rude man he was paired with.

During the date, which aired on the show in 2021, Hughie was paired with Scottish hairdresser Paul who viewers accused of being rude.

Paul said Hughie was "too short and an attention-seeker", while Hughie blasted him as "a plank".

Although Hughie and his most recent match didn't continue to date, he still enjoyed a "lovely date".

First Dates Ireland airs on Thursdays 9:30pm on RTE2 and the RTE Player.
