'Finding Love Is Hard' – Declan Donnelly

Declan Donnelly has admitted that he struggled to find love because any potential girlfriend already knew too much about him – before they had even met.

The television star, who is one half of Geordie duo Ant and Dec, said that his public profile meant he was not able to go on a proper blind date with a woman.

The 38-year-old is quoted in the media as saying: "It was one of those things. I thought, God! It is really hard to meet girls. People would always try and set me up, which was awkward. You can't set me up on a blind date because she will automatically know more about me."

The Britain's Got Talent host is now happily dating his manager, Ali Astall. The couple have known each other for 10 years but only started their relationship last year.

He added: "I think we've always been attracted to each other but it has always been that thing of we work together. This is the first time we've given it a try. We always hung out.

"When she was single and I was single we'd go out for dinner on Valentine's night together because we didn't have partners. This year we went out as a couple."
