Dating Hall of Fame

Rickie Haywood-Williams and Melvin Odoom

First to join our hall of fame are Radio 1 DJs and old time besties Rickie and Melvin. Together the trio discuss how antics have shifted as prevalent lockdown daters have moved dating to the virtual as well as divulging how one of them has found love in lockdown! From covering the bill and good dating etiquette, to unexpected babies, and much, much more. Reminiscing back to their MTV days, Laura, Rickie and Melvin laugh their way through the good, the bad and the ugly.

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!
