Aussie reality star Tully Smyth has revealed she had never been on a date at the ripe old age of 26.

Tully, now 34, appeared on the Australian version of Big Brother in 2013, where she got into a relationship with housemate Anthony Drew.

The couple continued their relationship once they left the house, but it fizzled out months later leaving Tully single for the first time aged 26.

The reality star told the Kinda Sorta Dating podcast that all throughout her 20s she had been a 'serial monogamist' and hadn't given casual dating a go.

In fact, she'd never been on a date at all.

She told the podcast: "I didn't know how to date, I'd never been on a date.

"All my past relationships had been friends of mine already and we'd just kind of ended up dating."

After spending eight years single, Tully decided to dive into the world of dating apps, where she went on to meet her current boyfriend on Hinge.

But before she deleted her dating apps for good, Tully did give celebrity site Raya a shot where she confessed to matching with some 'massive names'.

She told host Jana Hocking: "I met many a celebrity on Raya. You come across all kinds of people, some huge names."

She added: "When you see a massive name, for your ego, you want to swipe right just to see if you get a match.

"There's a lot of people that you just want to see if they think you're hot but more often than not you never say anything to them."

However Tully also confessed that matching with the stars isn't all it's cracked up to be.

She said: "They don't have good chat.

"Don't think for one second that because they're famous or a millionaire or live in LA or fly in private jets that they've got more banter than Tom from Northcote, 'cause trust me, they don't."

Fair enough - and good on you Tom from Northcote, whoever you are, congratulations on the banter.
