What happened with Emma and Peter on First Dates?
Three years ago, glamorous mum Emma went on a date with Peter, who said of himself: “I wouldn’t say I’m a lady’s man, but I’m a man the lady’s like.”
Emma felt mortified when Peter showed up, as she had dated him a couple of years earlier.
“I can’t believe it… we’ve dated,” she said.

Waitress CiCi Coleman asked if their relationship came to an amicable end and she said simply: “Text dumping.”
“Oh god, really?” said CiCi, stunned.
Emma told Peter: “You were the first person I allowed into my home [after my second marriage was over].”
He seemed genuinely sorry as she added: “That’s what upset me so much.”
Towards the end of their date, Peter confessed privately: “I’d like to start it again, clean slate, but she might just stop it dead in the water and say no.”
Afterwards, Emma said: “I think that after what happened, I don’t think you realise the impact it had on me.”
Well done Emma. School this fool. Lesson of the day: Do not end a relationship via text.
“I do now,” Peter insisted.
“But at the time you didn’t,” Emma continued. “And because of that I wouldn’t date you again. I don’t think I trust you.”
She added, laughing: “I’m too mature for him.”
Emma also revealed that Peter’s text had simply read: ‘Dumped.’
