When it comes to dating, even celebrities can need a helping hand when looking for love.
Former X Factor winner Shayne Ward is no different and has confirmed this week that he is on Tinder.
Shayne won the X Factor in 2005.
The No Promises singer, who made his Coronation Street debut earlier this year, revealed to the Daily Star that he uses the app.
He said: “Yes I’m on Tinder, it is not a fake account.
“I thought I’d give it a go yeah…it’s quite fun. I’ve not been on any dates yet as I’m only two weeks into it. I have had quite a few matches on it though”.
Shayne split from long term girlfriend Faye last year.
However, the 30-year-old admitted that there are some drawbacks to having a famous face online:
“People don’t think it is me when I’m talking to them. They think I am catfishing them.”
Explaining how he first decided to join, the crooner insisted that he initially set it up “as a joke”.
“What it is, I was having a bet with my management that I would go on it. So initially I set it up as a joke.”
Yeah, yeah, that’s what they all say.
