Things went up a notch when Richard started to talk about his job as a teacher and presented Jess with a letter written by a 10-year-old pupil.
The letter said it was 'quite embarrassing how one of the boys keeps making fun of him because he hasn't got a girlfriend at 28'. It also revealed that Richard would only share the letter if 'he genuinely likes' his date - leading to a massive grin from Jess.
It sounds like the letter worked its magic as the end of the episode confirmed they are in a relationship! Awww!
