Mimi and Co - Series 1:9. Date With A Difference - February 2021

Mimi’s boyfriend, James, decides to take her on a date. She prepares for what she thinks is a romantic picnic and enlists help from CBBC’s Nikki Lilly to help bake some cupcakes for dessert. However, the date doesn’t quite go as planned as James surprises Mimi with a visit to a petting zoo. Mimi is encouraged to hold a reptile that she’s most terrified of – a snake!  She manages to get James back by finding a Mexican red-knee tarantula for him to hold, but his reaction is a bit more dramatic than she anticipates. We also meet Amira and her sisters, who cook a romantic dinner for their parents - the pressure is on for them to get their nan’s favourite Jamaican dish just right!.
