Sinitta claims she was banned from dating app Hinge: ‘I’ve never been so upset in my life’
Sinitta was dealt a major love-life blow as she has claimed she was banned from popular dating app Hinge.
Finding love in lockdown is already hard enough, right?
In an interview with Pete Wicks and First Dates’ Cici Coleman on Fubar Radio, the 52-year-old singer admitted that her chance to get to know her 55 matches on the app was cut short.
The music star recalled: ‘I was only on it for two days. It was going really well. People were talking to me, sending me messages, and I was getting rid of everybody who was inappropriate.
‘Luckily someone had WhatsApp’ed me, they’d put their phone number in the messaging part to say, “if you want to just talk on WhatsApp rather than here”.
‘But he wasn’t responding on the app, so I was like, “why aren’t you talking to me?” And he said, “Oh, it said you deleted your account?”, but I didn’t actually delete it.’
Cici was quick to offer Sinitta some reassurance, claiming that the same thing had happened to her.
‘If you’re a celebrity and people know who you are, then they might think that you’re catfishing! So they report you to the app, and then the app deletes you. That’s what happened to me twice,’ she said.
Sinitta explained that she had ‘never been so upset in her life’ as she found several cuties among her 55 matches.
The star explained: ‘I was whittling away the ones that were just too young and, but not just deleting, I was saying “you’re so cute, but you’re too young for me”.
‘I was doing it nicely, and a few people were coming back saying, ‘well, I don’t mind if you don’t mind’, and I was like, ‘I mind! I could be your mum!’”
Despite admitting that she had no desire to be married again, Sinitta – who famously dated Simon Cowell – said she has been actively pursuing a relationship for the last few years.
We wish you all the best, Sinitta!
