Episode Fourteen - 'Love Is In The Air' (With Tom Read Wilson)
In this Valentine’s Day special, you’ll hear from actress Kate Holderness and her girlfriend, Radio 1 DJ Adele Roberts on the rise of dating apps in the queer community, as well as Kate’s rather interesting use of online forums to date before the apps existed! You’ll also hear from trans activist and author Juno Dawson on how shame from childhood affects dating, as well as writer Lewis Oakley on whether there are differences in dating between heterosexual and queer couples, as well as the dreaded question of who pays at the end of the date!
Plus, Shivani and Alex will be sharing their own experiences of dating as members of the LGBTQ+ community with Celebs Go Dating’s very own Tom Read Wilson who will be popping by for a chat…
