Glen and Hayley’s date began smoothly, with both engaging in lively conversation and flirtatious banter. However, the mood shifted dramatically when Glen spoke to the camera about his past. Emotionally, he revealed that his ex-wife, who he had been with for 20 years and with whom he shares four children, had cheated on him.
Glen opened up about his heartbreak and how he had once believed he would spend the rest of his life with her. After leaving the restaurant, Glen opened up and shared: "I'd found out that I wasn't the only one in the relationship. That's how it kind of ended.
I'm actually finding it quite hard to talk about." He added: "[We were together] about 20 odd years, so yeah, quite a long time. I was 18 so I was quite young.
I didn't think I was going to be so emotional." However, now in his 40s, Glen revealed that he’s ready to dive into dating and meet new people, having decided to give love another chance. Later in the date, the pair stepped outside where Glen jokingly suggested that Hayley could "take a ride" on his bike as they chatted about their hobbies during.
