Episode one, The RomCON, takes us back to where it all began...


One swipe to the right. One small, seemingly insignificant flick of the index finger.....

Meet my sister, Emma as she takes us back to the fateful day when she swiped right on the profile of Andrew Thomson.

He's charming, charismatic, successful and empathetic, everything you look for in a life partner, right?

He seemed like the perfect date but by date four the cracks were starting to appear. And they would be the first of many...


Dr Sophie Muir, Clinical Psychologist joins us, shining a retrospective light on Emma's story and highlighting the red flags along the way
