Blind date
Sonny Syall, 23
I work as an alternative hedge fund manager, which means, I do actually get money to plant actual hedges. I absolutely adore good food and wine and have a passion for making my own sour dough bread while practicing my Irish traditional dancing.
Marc Bowen, 22
​
I own an exclusive garden center which specialises in copper beech hedging. I also make and sell my own sourdough bread. I am very shy and struggle to express my feelings, but find that if I use a mix of words and song lyrics, this really helps.
