A television publicist who swore off dating apps has revealed the unusual way she met her current boyfriend.
Alice James took to TikTok in June, while she was getting ready for a blind date, when she revealed her father had set her up.
"Three weeks ago I made the decision to get off all the dating apps – I just wasn't having fun, I was feeling like crap and it was taking its toll," she said.

"Fast-forward, last week I was with my dad at the local pub, having a drink and talking s***, and Dad was like, 'I don't know if you noticed but there is a real hottie sitting at the bar,'" she said.
