Dating Hall of Fame

Pete Denton and Portia Freeman

Gracing our Dating Hall of Fame this week are British model Portia Freeman and her musician hubby Pete Denton (he's from Leeds). 12 years into their relationship, Laura chats to Pete and Portia about how dating has changed as their relationship and family have grown. From a potentially disastrous first date (with a large guest list) to idyllic picnics in the park, bad breath and "little brown lies", we get the skinny on it all. 

As always, if you would like to send your dating story in, please comment it in the review section or email your dating story to dates@magscreative.co.uk. 

Thank you to @ExtraOfficial for sponsoring this episode.

For all the matchmaking shows out there, there is a largely untapped reservoir of golden worst date stories. So Laura Whitmore is taking it upon herself to unearth unheard first date horrors.

Each week, Laura will chat with celebrity guests about their most embarrassing first date faux pas’ - from wardrobe malfunctions to cringey one liners, no shows to the truly, truly bizarre. But not one to be a scrooge, Laura will also hear the tales where humour helped to save the date, and led to them finding love.

Welcome to the Dating Hall of Fame, an audible honouring and ode to dates gone wrong!
