Police call in at First Dates restaurant

Officers called in on The Refinery in Manchester, ordering them to close early due to the coronavirus.

Appearing on This Morning, Fred told Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby: “On the very first day we were filming back in September, the police gave us a call.

“They knocked on the door and said: ‘Sorry, you have got to shut the restaurant at ten o’clock.’

“We told them we had all these protocols in place, but they said: ‘No, you still have to close at ten o’clock.’

“So we had to reschedule everything, and you can imagine the mess with producers in my ear going completely crazy.

“But we adapted because that is what you do and the show must go on.”
