FIRST Dates star Fred Sirieix has shared a 'brilliant' experience he had with a Glasgow taxi driver after arriving in the city. 

The 50-year-old TV personality told his social media followers that he had arrived in Glasgow late on Monday night and was greeted by his 'usual' city cab driver who drove him to his hotel.

He revealed that a joke that the cabbie had told him made him appreciate their positive outlook.

He said: "I arrived in Glasgow late last night. The usual cabbie picked me up from the airport to drive me to my hotel.

"I asked him how he was and he replied 'I’m good. I’m always good. All the people in the cemetery want my problems!'"

Glaswegians then took to the comments to remark on the local humour, with one commenting: "Glasgow humour lol we love you up here."

Another said: "Only in Glasgow!"

A third added: "Love the Glaswegian sense of humour. Just brilliant."
