When Laura went celebrity speed dating

I were speed-relationship earlier than - see my blog right here. But movie star speed dating? Way scarier. *thinks back to everyday pace relationship* Okay, perhaps no longer scarier as such, and actually likely pretty comforting by assessment given the abundance of WEIRD I encountered first time spherical. But ANYWAY nonetheless a barely daunting prospect, particularly as you possibly can not be as overtly dismissive of celebrity guys or certainly each person who is not affectionately called 'Mental [first name]' or may in reality have had sex with someone other than themselves. Still, as Cosmo's resident unmarried lady it wouldn't have accomplished no longer to get worried, so when the lovable people at Foxy Bingo invited me to their 'Bingo Dating' event I become all 'Hell Yeah' again. And can I convey my friend Lucy alongside for help?

And as we made our manner into London's Sketch to meet our array of famous suitors, the nerves were absolutely starting to kick in. And the sight of Mr Foxy (as we are fairly positive he's acknowledged) - the half guy, half fox mascot of the night time's organisers - did little to relieve our tension, specially because Lucy seemed to have evolved some weird weigh down on him (There are pics. I do not suppose I can legally submit them).

Still the lovable PRs Sophie and Rochelle made us sense very welcome, patiently trying to provide an explanation for the rules even as we focused on downing as many cocktails before the dating started out. We each had a bingo card with numbers corresponding to every celeb man. If at the stop of our 3 mins we failed to under any occasions, even to get on an episode of TOWIE/MIC/Geordie Shore/CBB/um, The Olympics want to peer them again - we needed to pass their wide variety out AS ONE MIGHT DO AT A BINGO GAME. Otherwise it was essentially all good, allow's switch numbers and who cares if it's a showmance all systems pass.

AWESOME.

And right here's the way it went down.

Date one: MIC newcomer Sam Cussins. We had been each a chunk fearful, so just mentioned MIC and his large combat with Spencer. I informed him approximately my buddy Rob looking WELL like him (Spencer) but ran out of time before I should get a photo out. Curses.

Date two: 400m Olympic Hurdler Jack Green. I'd actually interviewed Jack for another magazine earlier than the Olympics however realised as soon as I'd cited it that the piece had in reality been dropped. AWKS. Not as awks as while Lucy congratulated him on how well he'd done, simplest for him to provide an explanation for he'd fallen at the primary hurdle (LITERALLY NOT METAPHORICALLY). ZAWKS. Nice if at the younger side.

Date 3: Another Olympian, Richard 'Call me Rich' Hounslow, who gained silver canoeing. He became excellent fun and asked me loads of inquiries to the stop that we spent the complete 3 minutes speaking approximately my lifestyles of non-success as opposed to him triumphing an ACTUAL OLYMPIC MEDAL. In my defence I did apologise for this earlier than I left.

Date four: Hmmm bit hazy now (adorable cocktails) however quite certain this became with CBB superstar/Waterloo Road actor and Kerry Katona dater Lucien Laviscount. He changed into very a laugh and informed me I changed into 'naughty' - although not as naughty as Lucy who on her Lucien date stole a balloon and seductively sucked the helium out of it, before barbling at him like one of the Chipmunks.

Date five: Ex So Solid/CBB Star Romeo. He turned into first rate, complimented me for having the identical watch as him (hmmm, sort of a mutual compliment) and promised to return on a night out with me in Peckham subsequent Friday. I'M HOLDING YOU TO THIS ROMEO. He additionally said I turned into 'naughty' (bet I'm formally naughty) and stated he failed to want our date to cease. SMOOTH MOVES.

Date six: Arg from TOWIE. He became a whole lot extra low key than I expected and seemed manner less coming near-breakdown than he comes throughout at the display. PHEW. We had a pleasing chat about on-line relationship and what a big fats nightmare it's miles (soz on-line daters).

Date seven: Gaz Beadle from Geordie Shore. Rest in Peace and many others but I changed into so involved about by chance calling him Jeremy I in all likelihood wasn't at my excellent in this date. He turned into first-class even though and said he wasn't as loopy as he appears on Geordie Shore. I've never watched it so reassured him I had zero judgement.

Date eight: Charlie from TOWIE who I mistakenly wrote down as Bobby. BIG MISTAKE. HUGE. He instructed me he become looking for love however I feared he *may additionally* be barking up the incorrect tree. I additionally learned that he opened a restaurant with his dad at 19. While I become spending approximately 98% of my time in mattress as a pupil.

And that become it. 24 heady mins of near celebdom and OK mag covers. And whilst I might not have landed a headline-grabbing boyfriend, @RomeoLondon has followed me on twitter. Which is as desirable a claim to repute as any.
