Hitched at Home viewers thank Fred Sirieix for perfect lockdown viewing

Young couple's lockdown wedding left them 'crying their eyes out'

Viewers were left in floods of tears after a special lockdown one-off aired on Channel 4 on Monday night (June 1).

Hitched at Home saw First Dates’ Fred Sirieix plan a wedding for a couple during lockdown.

His first task was to select a couple that had to cancel their wedding due to coronavirus – Fred chose Patrick and Louise.

The young couple met on Tinder three years ago and thought their big day had been ruined by the lockdown.
