The presenter has fronted the popular series for five years now, and having already made OAP and celebrity themed special, he wants to make a programme dedicated to same-sex matches.

Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show, Paddy explained: "I have asked about a gay version. We have done an OAP special and a celebrity special.

"I have also asked about a reality TV special. It is in the mix. It is up to the powers that be."

Proud that a successful number of relationships have come out of the show, he even admitted that one particular story left him in tears.

"We have had two weddings, we have four engagements and two children born from the show.

"We have only been on five years. I love doing it. It is 80 per cent ad-libbed.

"We had one guy on recently and one girl was his ex. It was awkward. He was Nick and his ex was called Looci.

"He did not say anything until round two. He was so terrified, he froze.

"He picked his ex for the date. We had to edit a lot out as people were crying. I even shed a tear - and I am from Bolton."
