Celebs Go Dating fans say Ulrika had 'lucky escape' after bad feedback from 'boring' date

Celebs Go Dating viewers believe Ulrika Jonsson had a "lucky escape" after she received poor feedback from her first date.

The TV presenter, 54, is currently starring on the Channel 4 series and has turned to the help of industry experts Anna Williamson and Paul C Brunson for some professional advice.

On Monday, Ulrika had her first date on the show with a man named Tal, but fans pointed out she looked "bored" throughout the whole thing.

Ulrika's evening became even more awkward when her potential beau was unable to open a bottle of champagne and placed it between his legs in an attempt to unscrew it.

And in Tuesday night's episode, she received some constructive criticism from her date, who rated her a six out of ten.

He told the former Gladiators host: "I would also say, constructively, a date, ultimately, should be fun. If you're not having fun opposite the person that you're talking to, don't do it. Get up and leave."

"You didn't get up and leave, so I think you had some fun," Ulrika's date added. "If you were to get a seven, you'd have to work a little harder. But I make everybody work harder for a seven."

After he gave feedback, a shocked Anna turned to the TV star and said: "Ulrika, that was big feedback. Would you like to respond to that, how've you taken that on board?"

Lost for words, Ulrika began: "I think some of that was really... useful."

She added: "I felt you arrived very much with a pre-conceived idea of how my life looked and who I was - and that didn't go down too well with me, because I wanted you to come and learn about me, from me. Not from what you thought you knew about me."

Puzzled by her sassy response, her date simply replied: "Fair enough."

Taking to Twitter to share their thoughts after her disastrous date, one fan wrote: "Ulrika had a lucky escape #CelebsGoDating."

A second added: "If I was ulrika on that date I would of made an excuse to go to the bathroom and run, it was such a snooze fest #CelebsGoDating."

"Catching up on last nights #CelebsGoDating and Ulrika's date Tal is seriously creepy," a third commented.

A fourth shared: "That was very long feedback from Tal basically Ulrika was bored of you mate."

"If Ulrika ever went missing, I’d send the cops round Tal’s house. The guy is scary as fuck (not in a good way)" a fifth concluded.

*Celebs Go Dating continues tomorrow at 9pm on Channel 4.
