Was it love at first sight?

That's the question the audience was asking when Karen Whitham, of Aylesbury Drive, Holland-on-Sea, was picked on the television programme Blind Date.

Karen, 36, an aerobics instructor, appeared on the show on Saturday and beat contestants number one and three to win a trip to Singapore with her blind date.

Karen will return to our screens on Saturday to tell Cilla how the two got on on their date.
