Every week, First Dates on Channel 4 brings viewers on a rollercoaster of emotion, and this week's episode was no exception. 

Last night, viewers met total sweetheart Graeme, who was on the show looking for love. He told the tale of how he lost his wife to breast cancer, and made the brave decision to 'step back on the horse' and go dating again. 

Graeme was paired up with Daniela, and revealed that he has two children and he was with his wife until the very end, holding her hand. 

Viewers couldn't contain their emotions, and as always, Twitter erupted.

If his journey wasn't enough to turn everyone into a sobbing mess, Graeme and Daniela totally hit it off and they seemed incredibly happy at the end of their date AND agreed to a second!
