Scouse Romeo and Duet contestant bags a date in seconds

A Scouse contestant on ITV's Romeo and Duet bagged himself a date within just seconds of beginning to sing during Saturday night's show.

The programme, hosted by former Strictly star Oti Mabuse, sees singletons stand on a balcony and serenaded by potential love matches that they can hear, but not see. Hopeful singers get just one song to entice a potential new partner down from the balcony.

Only then will the two come face-to-face for the first time.

Care worker Jamie was one man looking for love on the latest instalment of the show. And when Jonathan from Liverpool serenaded him with a Little Mix song, Jamie sprinted to the bottom of the stairs to see his potential new love.

Jonathan had said he was looking for "someone with a big personality" who could "make him laugh". When he took to the stage and began singing Secret Love Song, Jamie screamed to the audience " Little Mix! It's Little Mix!".

Fans at home were loving his reaction. Taking to Twitter, Tasha said: "Get someone who runs to you like Jamie did". Steff said: "If you're not running to me like Jamie did I don't want you", while Charlene W said: "I have a good feeling about these two".

After the pair performed a duet of "Everybody needs somebody", they received huge applause from the crowd, and Oti told them: "You two look like you're getting on like a house on fire".

Romeo and Duet airs Saturdays at 7pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
