Meanwhile, others were equally invested in the pair: "Please can we have an update on Tommy and Leo? I've gotten way too invested now #FiveDatesAWeek," said a fourth.

Earlier on in the series, Tommy and Leo took their budding romance to the next level when they shared a room in the love nest. 

The pair got to know each other during the process after some pillow talk. But viewers were shocked when they saw Tommy and Leo sharing a kiss without the others knowing. Five Dates a Week is next on TV on Sunday 5 June at 10pm. Here's hoping audiences get the answers to their questions.

The synopsis for the series reads: "The format fast-tracks the 'getting to know you' phase of the relationship and gives the picker the opportunity to compare and contrast five dates – in real time."

The show has also been hailed for its representation and diversity among its participants with a focus on same-sex couples.

Executive producer, Lorraine Charker-Phillips said in a statement: "Whatever gender you are, whatever your sexual preference, whoever it is that you want to wrap their arms around you at the end of the night, being wanted – being loved – is universal."
