Ferne Mccann is looking for a man to share her hot tub with
She’s game for whatever the universe has in store
It’s the most 2020 of dilemmas: how do you date in an era of social distancing, when bars pack up at 10pm and you can’t get so much as a handshake on a night out, let alone a cheeky kiss?
Luckily, Ferne Mccann, 30, has a luxury hot tub at home, just waiting to host a Covidcompliant date. Speaking to heat, the reality star – who’s mum to two-year-old daughter Sunday – tells us she’d definitely consider turning it on (the hot tub, we mean), but it has to be for a very special fella. She’s far too busy to settle for less…
You’re back with more First Time Mum – will we see you get back in the dating game? Yes, I’m back on the market! It’s funny, when we started filming again, it just wasn’t on the top of my priority list. I honestly haven’t got the time, so it has to be someone really special. I was just focusing on being a mum, returning to work, fully concentrating on my new fitness platform. But the universe seemed to have other plans! So, sometimes you just need to surrender and say, “OK, I will go on a date with this guy.” And you know what? This whole curfew thing actually works well for me, because I’m home for Sunday and my mum can go home at a reasonable hour! So, the universe is providing the goods, but you must have to skim through your fair share of sleazy DMS… Honestly, I don’t get as many as you might think. I want the sleazy DMS! I’m waiting for them. Like, “Hello, I’m ready for you to DM me saying you have a random foot fetish or something!” Actually, I’ve recently had lots of guys slide into the DMS and tell me that I’m a really good mum and that they love my relationship with Sunday, which is really quite sweet. Although, that could be a bit of a tactic.
We reckon your new hot tub is a perfect date location… Ha, nice one! Yeah, it’s kind of the perfect place for a date, especially in these times, because the chlorine’s just going to kill any germs, isn’t it? And it’s an eight-person hot tub, so my date could sit in the corner and we could socially distance. You’ve given me a really good idea for a first date. But the only people who have been getting use out of it during lockdown are me, Sunday and my gay best friend. n
