Celebs Go Dating viewers were left stunned after Vanessa Feltz 'rudely' stormed off from her 'boring' date.
Season 12 of the Channel 4 reality show has welcomed a new line-up of celebs, featuring the likes of Feltz, Adam Collard, Mark-Francis Vandelli, Lottie Moss, Chloe Burrows and Spuddz - who are all on a search to find 'true love'.
However, during a recent episode, TalkTV host Feltz, 61, was not feeling up to doing much talking during her on-screen date with a man named Richard. Take a look at the cringeworthy scenes below:
From the get-go, the date was off to a terrible start as the TV personality was unimpressed when Richard began speaking about his love of football.
"Yeah I mean, twenty-one years ago, we were still in the second division," Richard said of his favourite sports team.

Feltz, who was looking down at her phone, did not respond as she continued scrolling at the dinner table.
After the awkward silence, she said: "Congratulations," while still not making any eye contact with her date.
"Do you follow football at all?" asked Richard, to which Feltz brutally replied: "Not at all, absolutely not."
She told viewers afterwards: "I've completely glazed over. I'm thinking 'have I defrosted the freezer', 'should I get round to lagging the loft', and 'how soon can I go to bed?'"

Back to the date, Richard attempts to keep the convo going, asking: "What sort of man are you looking for?"
Feltz then replies: "I don't really know, someone nice, someone fun. Someone exciting and dynamic."
He was brave enough to ask the burning question: "Do I fit into that category?"
Instead of getting an answer, Feltz got up and left without finishing her meal.
She then shook his hand, sarcastically adding: "Lots of love, thank you so much."

The TV personality later ranted on camera: "There was no spark whatsoever. I don't think we had anything in common at all.
"Nothing, nothing, nothing. Zero, ziltch..."
Some viewers were shocked with her antics, with one person tweeting: "I have always liked Vanessa but that was cruel.
"He may not have been the man for her but it was nasty to leave half way through the meal."

A second added: "Are you kidding me that's so so rude. OK you might not be interested in footy, but don't go on your phone ffs."
While someone else said: "Blimey! That was proper muggy of Vanessa Feltz there."
However, others saw the funny side, as another viewer said: "Wowwwww. Surely they’re picking these boring as f**k people on purpose for Vanessa…"
And a second simply added: "I love Vanessa."
