Mushy From ‘Educating Yorkshire’ Went On ‘First Dates’, And People Loved It
Even if you never watched Educating Yorkshire, chances are you’ve seen the clip of Musharaf Asghar (Mushy) overcoming his speech impediment.
It was heart-warming, and it went viral.
Do yourself a favour, and remind yourself of it here:
He was one hell of an inspirational teenager, and - as it turns out - he’s grown into a pretty decent human being. Mushy recently appeared on First Dates, and fans were pleased and delighted to see him again.
He was greeted at the restaurant by his old teacher, Mr Burton, before heading into the restaurant to meet his date, Salina.

…And we’re thrilled to say that their conversation - although pretty awkward in places - was endearing and lovely.
It was definitely a hit with people watching:
@MusharafAsghar & @Salina_x on #firstdates have just restored my faith in love! #toocute

First Dates revealed that things are still going strong between the young couple, and that despite the fact he’d said he didn’t like the theatre, Mushy took Salina to see Les Miserables for their second date….
A week after their date @MusharafAsghar and Salina went to see Les Misérables. Next date = a meal. 💖💃🏻 #FirstDates pic.twitter.com/wnImPgWPoI
