This week on Telling Tinder Tales, hosts Chris O’Neill and Thomasin Lockwood welcome three guests from across the UK (and beyond) to share their most unforgettable, off-the-rails dating experiences. From breakfast gone dangerously wrong, to a New York artist whose obsession with anatomically bold paintings left one man reeling, to a chaotic Prosecco-fuelled night filled with anxiety, unsolicited voice notes, and far too many red flags — this episode dives deep into the unpredictable world of modern romance.

Featuring stories that span Guardian Soulmates, Hinge mishaps, and the perils of mixing mental health meds with first-date nerves, this episode is packed with cautionary tales, sharp observations, and the kind of dating disasters you truly couldn’t make up.

Tune in for:

• A morning after the night before that ends in a minor medical emergency
• An room filled with penis portraits
• A mystery date that derails faster than a South Bank night out
• Reflections on red flags, warm Prosecco, and the very definition of “not a love match”

If you’ve ever questioned your dating app choices or wondered how bad it could really get — this episode has answers.
