Will on Kate What were you hoping for? A fun evening with someone who didn’t take themselves too seriously and a good story to share with my friends. First impressions? Kate seemed far more relaxed and put me at ease very quickly. What did you talk about? Our go-to karaoke songs, swimming spots in London, , parkrun, Rowans (a bowling alley in north London), Emma Raducanu, Sex Education, sports documentaries. Any awkward moments? At the photoshoot beforehand I noticed that I still had the stamp on my wrist from the previous night’s gig but I think I got away with it. Good table manners? Exemplary. She even corrected me on my pronunciation of romesco. Best thing about Kate? Kate was really easy to chat with, and we had a lot in common. Would you introduce her to your friends? Yeah, I think they would all get along. Describe Kate in three words Intelligent, open, easy-going. What do you think she made of you? She might have thought that I was someone very keen on getting as much free food out of the evening as possible. Did you go on somewhere? No, the evening had reached its natural end. If it weren’t for physical distancing, would you have kissed? No. If you could change one thing about the evening, what would it be? I felt for Kate, a vegetarian, going on a date in a chicken shop.
